Something different. 160mm Rear travel with Pinion Gearbox 

Bit portly at 15kg's though

[Yo-Yo]

When I have children they will get one of these & a lift to tokai

 

[MarcBurger]

Very cool.

Are 800 bars also cool for kids' bikes?

As long as they are paired with a short stem & Magic Mary tires yes.

Headangle looks damn steep

Headangle looks damn steep

 

65.8°. Could've been slacker. 64°- 65° would've been good.

Some interesting bikes coming out lately.

Pole Machine
There is a new Pole coming and it will redefine how a frame is manufactured, the frame will be robotically CNC machined. ... The new frame will be called Machine and will be 100% made in Finland. 

The Machine is a cutting edge 29" superbike which can be used as the one bike for everything. The travel on the bike is 180mm front and 160mm rear. The frame geometry follows Pole's notoriously long and slack geometry with steep seat tube for better climbing.

I like this idea but I am still not completely sold on this big wheel long travel thing. Big wheels and fat strong tyres weigh a stack. 

 

Anyone found any decent close ups of the frame. I am trying to work out how it will be made. Are they going to machine the main frame parts in halves and weld them together down the middle?
