Maybe a stupid Epic Question...

If you make them triangular you will eliminate one bump.

( Thanks to a very old comic strip called BC)

Where's the fun in that?

Is that the one where you go swimming with your bike allot?

and apparently drinking a lot

[Tumbleweed]

And they are?

Edit: I presume we are talking about mtb stage racing.

 

Imana is one. To Hell and Back is another. Will check my facts, but I think TransBaviaans is circa 2004/5.

To Hell and Back is not pairs .

Not much info on the interweb regarding the history of MTB stage racing in SA or worldwide for that matter. The BC looks to be awesome, you can ride as an individual, team or a partner. Do the top guys ride this in the same manner as the Epic?

My mistake.

Sorry to Say William is on a Ti 26" framed SS

 

Santa Cruz Highball ?

SCOTT have indicated NO commitment towards this wheelsize frame...it is for now purely custom for Nino's Olympic bid... the other components though DT swiss wheels and forks are on their way

Scott Sports Confirms Frame Prototypes

 

Scott Sports USA’s marketing manager Adrian Montgomery confirmed to us that Schurter was racing aboard a carbon fiber prototype built around the 27.5″ wheel size.

 

“We’ve been testing alloy prototypes for the past few months,” Montgomery said. “Nino’s was the first carbon prototype. What you’re seeing is an experiment, we intentionally didn’t make a big deal out of it. We wanted to see what the press would say and gauge the public’s response.

 

“Scott Sports takes the stance of develop and test first. If it works, then we’ll see if it makes sense in the market. We don’t just create something and throw it under our athletes and tell them to win so we can sell it. In this case Nino wanted it.”

Last time I rode Transbaviaans it was a 24 hour race, not a stage race. Hell and Back you have the one day and the two day options. When you gonna join your big brother and enter an epic instead of just reading and writing about it in the pub?
