Sam Hill's Bike for this weekend's DH World Champs

[AndreZA]

That bike is over engineered. Single pivot will do the job.

Rode that course in the unfinished state earlier this year. It's got some big stuff. I've got tickets, were set to leave tomorrow, but can't go anymore because of time running out for my final year project. It really sucks bigtime. Ma nou ja ne, wat kan mens doen... Sal maar fotos en videos kyk by die ouens as hulle terugkom

''rock'' it looks over engineered but thats to make it ssstrOOOng and to work around having a floating caliper... my friend has one, rides 1000 times better than it looks!!!

Hey chaps had a chat with Sam Hill' date=' Gee Atherton and Greg Minnaar earlier today. Also got a close look at the downhill course...man it is OFF THE HOOK in a big way. When I say it is unbelievable, it is unfrikkinbelievable. Makes me happy and warm that I am a marathon 'racer' (more like funrider) when I check that out.Also took a spin around the XC course yesterday, pretty steep climbs and some gnarly drops on that one. Gonna be some SEH-REE-AAHHS exciting racing this weekend...?

I like this color scheme:

I wonder if the manufacturers, while they are here, are checking up on the local distributors.

Man that p!sses me off - why go and ruin such a purty colour scheme with those silly black cable ties attaching(?) the mudguard - make them match the frame, damn you mechanic!

 

 

Here's hoping people flood the event... Minnaar made it clear that the return in 2010/annually will depend on crowd attendance in '09... C'mon PMB - make it happen!!!

They're O-Ring's. I have the sam eissue with the crud catcher on my white frame. Oh-well. It's meant to be ridden.

Spoke to one or two of the agents who I know have teams or at least some involvement with a team and they seamed a bit like "ag whatever". I'm a bit dissapointed.

 

I'm sure it helps that they are around the corner, but the guys from Rush (Morewood agents) will most likely be the most involved.

 

Two of the agents I spoke to didn't know when it was.

Back to the topic: after looking and drueling over the pics again, I must admit that I prefer Sam's bike. Well, not the bike but the color scheme.
