Foes LTS Prototype, The Early Modern Downhill Bikes

Brent's enemies come from the world of off-road truck racing, and when he "discovered" mountain bikes, designer and builder full talent direct "react" and make the chassis for the double suspension. LTS Series is one of his designs, and while some people admit that the beginning of the design and its training began in 1993, Brent himself admitted that he was completing the welding process of the armature that he in early 1994. The opponents LTS prototype had a rear suspension with a 6 inch travel, using Fox air suspension-suspended mattress type emulsion. The back suspension journey that far then considered as one of the state of the art of paper at the time. On the front, the suspension is the fork RockShox Mag 21 released in 1994. With the 1-inch steering tube (standard size), the front suspension that is created and used for cross-country racing seems unbalanced with the rear suspension attached. And it took a few years for the manufacturer of the fork suspension to can match the capabilities of the rear suspension technology is mounted to it.

The restoration of this prototype LTS enemies led by Stefan, who claims that the bike was going to be a permanent part of the Museum of Marine Bikes. The installed components are obtained from various sources: Crank road race which is difficult to find, to pursue a certain number of the desired plateau; Shimano V-Rubber brake rim, the best choice of components that are available today; Carbon Wheels hed Aero, making sure that the cyclist can use the maximum tray with 52; Shifternya uses the technology of Shimano Teerbaik at this time, Shimano XTR 8 speed.

Enemies LTS prototype, at the time made by Brent enemies manually, although later he created his own tool to create frames with the technology of hydroforming, to make lts enemies en masse. The enemies of the LTS mass product frame can be easily identified with welded solder that resembled a pouch on the front-a welding technique are used to reinforce and provide the stiffness of iron structures or hollow metal tube shape, which continued until the enemies of the frame produced at that time.
