OMG looking pretty awesome.

[chroot]

Beautiful! I am gonna place a order one for myself! Where do I submit order?

[o00scorpion00o]

That looks amazing!!!!

Congrats, the hard work will pay off, defiantly worth the money, if I had it to spend right now I would. ( If only I had not spent so much already )

I have only one, probably dumb question, but does that saddle post look like it will hit the rear shock ?

FAO mods. There is a malware warning on the first page of this thread.

FAO mods. There is a malware warning on the first page of this thread.

That's because Aussie Jester posted on it (and his avatar pic is on there, which is hosted on his site, which is infected), any thread that Kim has posted on will give you that warning. This is covered on another thread. I always guessed that Kim was riddled with infections.

The Phasor bike looks the business guys. If someone orders in this batch what is the ETA on delivery? Also, what is the headtube length? - Also, maybe you guys should post up your zip/postcode, and the packed weight and size of the frame, so people can get their own quotes on shipping. If you are happy to keep giving out shipping quotes, how much to Australia? I am trying not to look at this thread but I have a feeling I am going to try to justify buying this frame at some point...

It will be very interesting to see how the BMC V4 holds up with abuse, it wasn't really designed for this use. I will be particularly interested to see how the clutch and keyway hold up!

BTW what voltage and current are you running on the BMC ?

[SHiFT]

Not to be picky, but do you have any dimension and geometry data ?

[Microbatman]

Got this data from begginning of the thread.

Head tube = angle 66°
• Zero offset rear- no dish required
• Wheelbse: 50"
• Standover height ~ 31" with 8" travel forks
• Weight: ~<100 lb as shown
• Fox 40 RC2 8" travel downhill forks
• Rear shock fox DHX 5.0 3" stroke coilover - with 2.7:1 leverage ratio = 8.1" rear travel

In my opinion the Phasor frame is top quality stuff. Check out the pics of their frame making jig.

[SHiFT]

Ah cool. Thank you. Sorry for not checking myself.

[ROG130]

love the frame what thickness 4130 metal is used on the frame

[Deutch420]

Does anyone know where to send funds? PM'd danimal a few times but no reply over the past week to any of my PM's.

those wheels are massive, bigger than the tires!

how do they perform, compared to more common V profile DH wheels?

surely they must add some weight...

do you figure they're indestructible? does spreading the tire reduce the impact of big hits somehow?

all this time i'd thought they were 24" wheels, but saw the 26 on the closeup, and like most other details they're there in the first post!

[ohzee]

yea I am about to do the same and wanted to know that answer. It seems like they are quite busy and just make it back to the forums once a week.

Bike looks great wondering what color I want at this point.

Bike looks great wondering what color I want at this point.

Im in the same boat. At first i was sure i wanted spiral metallic grey, now im thinking maybe a dark, dark pearl red. I dont know!

I hope all is well with the Phasor crew. Those jumps your riding on look like they could do some hurt if you miss the landing! be careful, fab up a few more frames before you ride any harder! haha, just kidding

[ROG130]

i just got a set of rims the same size what size spokes are you using on your rims

[ohzee]

WTB this bike. how you guys doing any updates ? Sorry I am sure you will get them when you can just impatient.

Sorry

[Deutch420]

Fail?...

[o00scorpion00o]

[ohzee]

Yea the rumor I have heard is the frame failed & that's why we have no updates as the team scrambles to
correct issues and make a revision.. if that's the case then just let us know.. this board is cutting edge with
no BS and that's what I love about it. not much worse then no information. If people are just busy making
sh1t happen then just tell us I can understand that.

Sorry for the honest post I want one of these frames and think the lack of update is bad for everyone.

[Deutch420]

Even if the frame did fail, it was a proto-type. These things happen. Im sure most of us werent expecting perfection the first go at it. But zero communication and/or updates makes the rumors fly. Either way, leaving us all with our pants down wont help Phasor Cycles in any way.

[ohzee]

If it's on the internet you know it's true...

[ROG130]

well if the frame failed or not any info why it failed would be good and how thay will go about fixing it is good info for people like me still intrested in getting one
but no info at all will not help dont be about it its still will be a fab bit of kit because of all the testing its had and you will know it will be safe when we get one me hopes

[Alan B]

Frame failure or not, I hope no one was hurt, those jumps are hazardous.

[Idontwanttopedal]

I sent pm to both them asking cost of a frame but one had read message other hasn't been weeks and no pm back
