Big ups for Richard and this venture! I think I may have bought the last bike from Morewood before they moved in December.

First peak in September? Joh. By that time we'll have three new wheel sizes, new hub standards and gearboxes.

Gearboxes are like cures to cancer...solves a problem completely but then how do you keep making money like that?

I think we can expect a 140 - 160 mm duallie from them for starters. That should go without saying. It will no doubt tick all the right boxes in terms of modern standards. 

I wonder if they'll continue their SP designs?

 

A LT hardtail is definitely something I'd like to see from them.

A burly single crown 170 /180 mm bike would be nice too. 

and something a little more racy, but playful and bouncy. like a 120 / 130mm 650b.

Then, after all that R&D once they've established a wide range to choose from,

they decide to design a little jumper for good measure. An uber sloped 100mm hardtail with sliding dropouts. Then after that, a dualie version with 80/100mm squish in the rear for yuppy parkrats. See, I just plotted an entire new business plan. Make it happen.
