I don't see what the fuss is about.

DW just copied Giant's design.

You would be gutted if you just bought a TNT one....

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!!

mob: It will be interesting to see how they are priced compared to an Ibis...

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 :lol:

I don't like what's going on around the BB area.

Other than that, the RFX and DHR looks noice.

Robbies happy, P-Hunks happy, Wide Opens happy, we'll just leave it at that...

The DHR looks nice

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:
