I remember Kiwi Chilli Charles banging on (as he does bless him) about his mate Rob Metz building gearbox bikes in 2007 and how they were going to take over the world .. Looks like Rob has put them into production finally...

nice looking! Reminds me of the fabled Lahar.

Massively high pivot, Gearbox - no idea on weight as that's where other gearbox bikes loose out (ION ST eg) but if we are talking sub 40lb builds then thats a game changer
