Now I get it. Oli could be the next DW.

He's MUCH better than me - he could draw a DW link left-handed...

Don't go insulting the affordable quality of Haro  unlike all your hand made boutique bikes (and their riders) Haro's are straight, affordable and ride very well, welded by quality robots using the best designs "borrowed" from the flash brands (they're more exclusive too, who round here rides one?)

We were at the Shimano product launch last night and the guy hosting it was describing the resonance created by the new Di2 DA front derailleur - laugh? I almost went to Ethiopia - 2nd class of course...

I've done that before at a NIKE do years ago in West Palm Beach Florida. When they first launched their golf range. The MC said these clubs have been tested to hit the ball straighter than any clubs on the market. I laughed out loud and was the only one  . How the kcuf can this happen if the ball is struck perfectly it will go straight regardless of if is his with a baseball bat, spoon, or a club with a swoosh on it.
Its awesome when you laugh in an inappropriate situation.

They can't be any good as they have no internet fanbois 
Although, I suppose they are a bike you can buy safe in the knowledge that they will never be defiled by robbie's lust

And yet it's only a single pivot  |
With a linkage-driven shock. Have you never seen one of these before? Do you think other single pivots only have the pivot and that's it?  |
I haven't seen so many bearings in a single pivot design since the Giant VTs were around but Giant ditched that design four years ago. For my money the Heckler, Bullit or (to a lesser extent) 575 get the single pivot thing right.

any linkage driven single pivot will have as many bearings, 575s get the pmip flexy jobbies by the esra end so they have two less oh noes

As a Heckler owner (and admittedly Commencal dealer worker), i can tell you that if you didn't realise the 5.5 was a singlepivot design, you wouldn't realise riding it. They pedal and brake much better than a few popular multi-pivot designs i could mention.
If only their toptubes were long enough for my lanky frame...
