Yes, made in Taiwan, but I'm not racist

50-34-24 (now with a 46 instead) CODA MAGIC cranx with a 9 speed 11-32 cogset for on-off road rides. Mavic Krysium wheels and friction mode xt thumbies. Brakes and levers are 1995 FRM. Hope QRs

Now don't tell me this isn't retro

:shock: okay that just looks CRAZY! and i mean that in a good way.

Yes it's a 29er, and it rides very well. Now, I don't want to sound like a gull, but the slingshot system which helps you eliminate the pedaling dead spot seems to work... It climbs like a dream (but the road wheels might be responsible here), and it's a good downhiller: the board absobs both front and rear bumps, and with beefier tires it cold be even better. Brakes are quite scary too: i might install a pair of marinovative....

Slingshot still produces bikes: they are now imported in Italy. I've always been a slingshot fan, I used to have a 1991 model. This one is way more rigid; a really serious bike: when I'm in the garage i can't help taking this one and leaving my intense in the corner...

Here's the front end
