So have Iron Horse still got rights to the DW-Link too, or has the MKIII died?

DW Link website still lists them; below is taken from the site

So I guess we'll have the Turner bloke telling us how good this suspension system is until he moves onto another one

The 09 DW link bikes will be the last for Iron Horse. I did think about replacing my MkIII but I'll wait and buy an Ibis when it dies.

I was looking at a MK111, perhaps it's time to buy

Apparently Turner has sold Iron horse the rights to use one of their patents, very interesting!!

Well it was easy to take the Micky when Turner suddenly decided that as the axle path was similar it wasn't a backward step going to single pivot from four bar. This time I can only applaud the man for using a design that will do a lot to isolate the suspension from braking forces and a little to reduce bob. It looks nice too. I'd admit to liking it if it weren't American.

Hmmm... two bikes that were on my list before I bought my (somewhat different) Blur 4X were the 5Spot and the MkIII.

I could really quite fancy a WeagleSpot if I was in the market for that kind of thing next year (which I'm not)

Regardless of the performance, i think its a backwards step in terms of looks.

Subjective. And I wouldn't let looks influence my decision.

Seriously.

I'm not wild on the looks of the frames, but I'm reserving judgement until seeing one built up in real life.

At least it doesn't look like it's got a beer gut like some of the things in the Eurobike report. I did think of saying pregnant but pregnant women can look quite cute. A straight line is still the shortest way between two points (on the scale of things on Earth).
