Reality Redesigned: People's Choice Award

These are all great Ideas! Some of them would never work in the real world, while I can see others becoming a major success. The Footsie and the Fork Sleeve, in my mind are the most likely to catch on quickly, while the Derailleur Guide seems likely to become the next big thing, but build up steam more slowly. When this contest was first announced, I started working on a design for a derailleur guide, but could never get a final design through, and eventually went back to doing my school work. My vote is for the Derailleur Guide. :D

Its a short so its the smaller version, Scott only makes a "Short" and a "Long". I'm 5'8" and it fits me perfectly. This bike is really versatile, and rideable on almost all terrain in its long travel setting, but when you switch it into its short travel setup, you can even get some decent performance at the dirt jumps. At the time those photos were taken I had been riding out there weekly, and almost every day during the summer so I had enough ride time on it to know how to get it over those jumps easily. To be honest, calabazas is where this bike has spent most of its time.

Scott Voltage FR 20 - Tested

Good to see a positive review of the 20 come out right when I'm thinking about selling my 2010. :) Its been a great riding bike and I still love it, but the fact is that now a days I want to take pics more than I want to ride, and I need a new camera. Best bike I've ever owned, best I will own for a long time.

Perfect shot man! Composition is dead on and the lighting just makes you want to keep looking at it all day long. Your photography is really starting to become impressive! :D

Its got just under 187k, and the lift was put on my the previous owner and hasn't seen much use so the suspension is still real nice. When I got it the interior was nasty, so I ended up taking the seats out and cleaning all the carpet and upholstery from the ground up. I keep a thread up to date on all my work on the truck here: http://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/533303-machinists-project-thread-86-fj60-lots-pics.html if your interested in seeing more of it.

Hi from Scotland
As you can see from my profile I have developed a Sealed Drive Mountain bike. As do not have any real contacts in bike industry and do not work with in industry even though have raced Mountain bikes at World Championships.
Do you have any contacts that may be able to help, mainly frame manufaturers?

There's really good fishing in Dunsmuir on the Sacremento River (fly fishing mostly for trout) and there's decent fishing in Lake Shasta (trout, bass), and there's also good fishing in Lake Siskiyou (right next to Mt. Shasta City) and there's good trout/salmon fishing in the Klamath River north of Yreka. Overall it's pretty good if you like trout fishing in clear mountain lakes and streams!
