![]() I guess it depends on your local trails on if you need or want more travel. I have a feeling this bike will have a similar ride to it but more suited for DH with its slacker head angle. I first tried a shorter travel bottlerocket 140mm years ago and fell in love with the tight HT like geometry for DH riding with a 180mm fork. The 140mm travel with the DB is most likely going to be very plush. (steep, rocky, twisty lines with jumps and drops) If you want bigger wheels, get a different bike, hahahahhahahĢ6inch wheels have been working fine and suit trails here in Japan greatly. It is what it is, love it or hate is my concept for anything, but dont complain! Sealed frame with no external breather holes.190 x 50 Cane Creek Double Barrel Air rear shock.To explore the details of the campaign, read their FAQ or find out about the frame itself, head to the BTR Fabrications' Kickstarter campaign page. With only 15 days left of the campaign (ending 13th July 2014), the guys are on for a big push to get enough supporters around the world to bring this awesome frame to life. If you don't need a Pinner just right now, there are other ways to support the campaign, for example rewards such as limited edition Pinner T-shirts, BTR trail tools and even frame-building classes at The Bicycle Academy. Due to this, the guys have decided to make the Pinner in batches of 10 and they're offering the very first batch - along with some added extras - exclusively on Kickstarter. ![]() The cost of CNC machining parts one frame at a time is prohibitively expensive and would make the finished frames too costly. However, the Pinner's design means some of the parts need to be CNC-machined, which is something the guys can't do. In keeping with their hand-made ethos, each frame is going to be hand-built and welded by Burf and Tam. ![]()
