I don't see what the fuss is about. DW just copied Giant's design.

The elevated chainstays are a plus, nice cable routing too.

Hopefully they will have a rear triangle with decent tyre clearance - that area is the achilles heel of my 05 IH MKIII, and perhaps an example of the poor execution that DW tired of ?

Turner generally excecute the designs very well (including tyre clearance). I look forward to having a ride on the new DW 5 Spot at some stage and possibly upgrading to one in a few years time... after people have ironed out the teething issues that go along with first generation designs!!

Just as long as Robbie doesnt buy one, the Spot could go on my wish list.

You are on very safe ground there, Mr Economist.

Why should I add 1.75 lbs to my bike for another with virtually the same geometry !?!??! wtf Laugh Out Loud

I don't like what's going on around the BB area. Other than that, the RFX and DHR looks noice.

Well, after years of extolling the virtues of bushings mr turner has been using bearings for a couple of years. Given the additional number of pivots, I would guess that he'll still be doing the bearing thing with DW

I have a suspcion that there will be a mixture of Journal bearings (bushes) and needle roller bearings, I don't think we'll see too many sealed cartridge bearings.

its only the older (square) DHR's that have used a sealed bearing main pivot

I can't wait to get my hands on one Blush
