Ok mountain bike lovers, look what a local (payson) company is producing, if this is what the future holds, that is some light weight material!

Our buddy Dan who went with us to St George said he was with these guys shooting some promos. He may be the rider on their website as soon as they get the pics and video up.
He met them down at Interbike, and did some photo shoots up on Mueller Park.
He was telling us about this bike on the way down, I had a hard time picturing it though.

| Lets get Dan to chime in here. His thoughts on the bike? Weight? Anything he can say about it I would be curious to hear. |

I could go for that, I want a sweet bike for my next bike. I need to give him a holler and if I am correct I think he is in O-town (ogden) right? |

What you're looking at is a product of the BYU engineering department. Which leads me to say, "Oh my heck! Who put platform pedals on XTR cranks? What the fetch!?!"

Our buddy Dan just joined the forum. His username is LeftyLover.
He's featured in this video starting at 1:24 riding the bike at Mueller Park. (or at -.44 seconds on the vid)
He's gonna email me a picture too that I'll post here.
Here's another quick video:

| Looks like a nightmare to keep the inside of the frame clean and free from debris inside, who knows. |
