wow. i'm underwhelmed by the lack of response to Urban Assault. I know it's small, but 2/3 of the most famous MTB family in the world gracing us is pretty damn sweet. Always good to see the local big boys as well: The Needles gang, Mr Chopkins etc..

 

 

 

 

 

Brad@TheRiot: you coming down?

Ya, looks cool...

Nice good luck I was also thinking of doing the same but I need to find a good strong solid design but lite!

your solution is also going to be your problem: the material you need for strong but super light. Fancypants alloys.

But, rather build the prototype in what metal you can get, try Stainless steel for starters. will be heavy, but it will ride. Proof of concept is often just as important as the near_final product.

sourcing the material in RSA is a problem but one of my old professors(he is a material specialist. he is helping me allot. It will be aluminium.

 

My first frame will be a simple monoc frame. it dosn.t look like it now bot wait until 'im finished with the project. I'm also busy designing a bike that looks similar to the intense 951. I'll keep you posted.
