Dirt,

Wimmer is in Europe right now. We apologize in the delay to your post.

I’m the North American rep for Wimmer Bike. Ask away and I can ensure you that I can get you what you want to know.

Wimmer Bike has a very static site at the moment. You can check out some of the info there. http://www.wimmer-bike.com. We are moving forward toward final production I can assure you of that.

Once final production has been tested then we’re gonna need the real tests to begin. Got any ideas on who might want to be the first to run it through the gauntlet?

I’ve now reports that either consider the Moots FS “best of show” and “most disappointing”.
The former mentions that it’s Ti twice a sentence, so that gives me a pointer what to believe…

wow this went to a creepy sort of place, and im gonna not try to continue the trend.

I guess my main point of all this is that if you are going to be dropping the coin to get a RIP 9, which is close to 2k now, frame only, i would hope there would be a certain level of sex appeal to it. Much like how the Moots, Sevens, Serottas, and to a direct relationship a Lenzsport or Titus’s survive. If you are going to charge that much for frame only, not only does the frame have to perform flawlessly, it also has to be sexy to the max or have a certain niche to be sold successfully.

Now to continue with the creepy…….

Bikes are like ladies, they can perform completely amazing and give you the ride of your life, but if they are a messed up in appearance, there is a lil more reluctancy to go back for a second ride.

with this in mind, beer goggles cannot help that plate gusset on the RIP 9.
