Last weekend myself, Eisa Bakos and Cam drove up to Cambridge, home of Bob Manchester and Damo Wilkinson to shoot this edit before Bob goes under the knife.
Unfortunately there was no chance of any trails due to the weather, we were lucky enough to get any clips out doors, but both Damo and Bob didn’t seem bothered and still came through with tons of solid clips, while Cam put pegs on and learnt every trick possible abroad his new signature RD frame which will be available in a couple of weeks from amitybikeco.com
By the time you read this, Bob would’ve had surgery on his wrist after descovering he has been riding for months on a major broken scaphoid, so this is all you’ll see from Bob for a few months while he heals up, but my god does he kill it!

Cam's new ride (RD sig. Frame + Barz)
This is a sneak peak at Cams new ride, soon to feature in a video bike check... (thanks to Dunk for the shots).
I just got off the phone to Cam who is sunning himself on a beach in Portugal topping up his tan. He got to ride this set-up just before he left & to say he is stoked on how it came out is an understatment. He was actually ROCKIN with love for this ride and can't wait to get home and get back on it (weather not so good here Cam, dutty as you would put it).
It seems all the hard work over the past year is paying off...
You can pre-order the frame & bars on the site now, so get paypalin mofo's
Just built up this bad boy. Stoked on it. I don't really understand a great deal about geometry, I'm not gonna lie, but my new RD frame is the best feeling bike I've rode in a really long time. I'm not such a big guy so I went down from a 21" to this, in a 20.8, which feels perfect. The back end feels spot on and 30" bars definitely give the bike a really stable feel to it, plus I'm really digging the 75.5 head angle, it feels amazing for anything on the front end, hang 5's are an absolute dream and despite sucking at them, nose manuals sure do feel a great deal easier too! Always been into a clean looking frame, and this one hits the nail on the head, tiny drop outs, no seat clamp, and nothing fancy on her. Here's a prime example that less is more!
