Also, to those that dislike the apperance of trials bikes. Each bike is made to suit its riding style. I think trials bikes look really beautiful, especially from an engineering perspective.

If the company says it holds up, then it proabably does. Not to mention it would almost surely come with a warranty. Of course, random riders would shatter the frame in pieces, because they ride full suspension bikes and lack both the techique and the smoothness of body shock-absorbation of those of trials riders. I really cant see a problem with the strenght, especially if it will be tested good. The problem i see is that in trials, it happens from time to time that the frame hits some sort of edge or something and the impact is usually directly on the downtube. They seem to be adressing this problem via the kevlar guard. Anyway, the price will probably be so high that you wont see many of these in the streets.

Sick riding yo! I sure havent seen a front manual on a mtb that long before...

Indeed, because most freely spinning pedals dont have axles? The fuck?

I would also like to see the picture. The only difference i can see, if yu wish to hang your bike by its pedal on a thin edge, is that with these pedals, the bike will be lik 0,5cm higher. Its not like the pedal body runs 1mm from the crank.
