Shift. Wade in is prime pushing it farther than anyone at that point. It had to be good because it made me and all my buddies lust after a purple bike. Long live the Godfather.

I got the 7th of the first batch of 9 and it is the fastest bike I have ever ridden. I had a Session 88 and an Intense M3 before and this bike is way faster and way easier to ride. I don't know why anyone would buy any other topend DH bike. This one is better. Rob the owner and designer is a great guy and will take care of you. Send him an email and be prepared to go faster than you ever have before.

As seen on Craiglist Casual Encounter: Bay Area "Shirtless and Open minded. Will be in van with picture of Brian Lopes on side parked in two spaces. BL 5.5"

He also has a website dedicated to what an ass he is. Not saying it's true but it is out there. Also heard him announcing the pumptrack challenge a few years ago at crankworx and he was a dick. The only time he stopped talking about himself was when Ropelato smashed his time.

I couldn't imagine spending a week with Lopes. Way too much shirtless windbagging for me.

Rat racks are much better. Look them up and get a good rack that is locally made to your specifications.
