That's a sweet bike- always wanted to buy an Evil but no local shops carry them. Where did you end up buying the frame from?

I'm eager to read the ride report.

Sweet bike & build. Funny, I was perusing MTBR forums today for the first time in months and saw this bike.

Thanks guys! I ended up buying the frame off Pinkbike. I think I was literally the first person to view it, it had just been put up. Right time, right place!

how many united states dollars did you have to forfeit to acquire said rocket ship?

Wow, that in one sweet ride, I love the attention to detail in that build including the matching saddle and headset cap.
BTW I am not sure if anyone carries the in NJ but there is a shop in Brooklyn that carries them.

What type of linkage is on Evil bikes?
Anyone ridden both DW-link and Evil for comparisons?
I hate the website, do they have a bike for 27.5 plus tires

all my FSs are FSRs. Even on my SGS they licensed Horst from the Big S. Intrigued by DW-link.

The Delta is really just a URT design. Modified for progressive rate.

Back on topic.
there is no denying that The Following is a sweet looking ride tho, glws.
