We've been keeping a close eye on the new Propain Rage DH bike over the last couple of weeks and by the looks of the forums we 'aint the only ones. When Propain's UK fella Wayne Tabernor got in touch and offered us an exclusive test of the prototype bike we pretty much bit his hand off. Farmer John provided the venue, Andy Dunwoody got behind the lense and our very own answer to the Stig - Tim Morgan - did the honours on the bike.
Sunday PM rolled round and I sat impatiently stabbing the refresh key on my inbox waiting for Tim's verdict to appear. When something finally showed up the title was along the lines of "PROPAIN - I WANT IT!". I guess he liked the bike. He reckoned there's some work to be done on the mud clearance (which will be fixed on the production bike) and Dunwoody found the white on white graphics a bit camera shy. Otherwise, very positive all round. Light, responsive, fast and pedalled a treat despite some utterly gopping conditions I think Tim said.
Alongside Propain, Wayne is also leading up Sixpack components. Here's a few of their goodies:
I'd love to put Tim's full repo up on the website right now but I'm going to have to save it for the mag I'm afraid. Keep an eye out for in March or sign up to our facebook group here for a reminder.
Thanks to Wayne for hooking us up with a World Exclusive and thanks to the SAS like talents of Andy Dunwoody and Tim Morgan for getting it in the bag.
