"Interpolate" from the Ridiculous XC Catalog

[SF Klein]

I'm guessing they don't have much single track in mind for this bike...

Ridiculous XC Bike – Interpolate:

- 39 inch wheels
- Repositioned steering input/ouput to eliminate toe-wheel collision.
- Pulley steering system; swap sprockets to speed up or alter steering characteristics. (Steering ratio in current build: 1.16)
- Inbuilt steerer chain tensioner.
- Riding position similar to contemporary 29er XC bikes

My thoughts exactly. It's a bit rich to bitch until you've tried it.

i suspect it'd be a lot more fun going downhill than climbing

Long wheelbase and big wheels are gonna make it pretty stable, I'd have thought. Good for big sweeping bends, not so sure how it's gonna handle in the gnarly twisty rooty bits. I'd like to have a go.
