How was the result? Does this bike ride differently compared to the original Sunday? So Jens created a completely new frame with current geometry and improved kinematics, which was also adjusted to my physical proportions and riding preferences. It would have had a negative influence on the geometry and therefore on the ride quality.
The idea for a rebuilt Iron Horse already came some time ago, and I knew that just changing the swingarm wouldn’t be enough. I really bugged him for a long time until he agreed to start this 27.5" Iron Horse Sunday replica project with me.ĭid you use the existing frame, or build a completely new one? But I happen to know THIS guy.Jens Miller, a friend of mine who is also a genius when it comes to bike design and construction. And I had to agree, unfortunately! However, after testing some cool bikes, which were fun too, I couldn’t decide and I was still in denial about not riding my Iron Horse anymore. Then, after a few years of experience in racing not only me but especially my girlfriend and some other friends noted that my beloved Iron Horse is technically outdated and a more up-to-date bike would likely earn some seconds on the race track and also be more fun. The Sunday was always my favorite weapon of choice, from the first ride I was excited about its performance. In 2011 I bought my first Iron Horse, the Sunday, followed by the 6 Point 4 and the Transit. How did you come up with the idea to create an updated Sunday? At that time, the Iron Horse Sunday was one of the most innovative downhill bikes. From early on I was (and still am) a big fan of Sam Hill, his skills and of course his bike. It’s more than 10 years ago now and since then the sport of MTB has become a major part of my life. Just one day after my confirmation I took all my money and bought my first real mountain bike, a Bergamont Big Air 6.7. How long have you been riding mountain bikes? Luckily me and my girlfriend share a passion for hiking and biking (haha), so we spend a lot of time at local trails or we drive to the Harz which is a low mountain range not far away from our home.
I’m working as a state certified technician in electronics and when I'm not working, I try to be outside most of the time.
My name is Marvin Mührer, I´m 25 years old and I live in Germany near Hanover. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your background? Until today, that is.meet Marvin Mührer and his one-off Iron Horse Sunday Replica! And as impressive as it was under Sam Hill during the glory years, the Iron Horse Sunday would not put up much of a fight against the current generation of DH destroyers. But even legends grow old, and in the world of mountain biking, keeping up with the latest trends is about more than just evolution - it's about the way we ride. Legendary machines that ruthlessly imposed their will on the race track to earn their place in the history books of sport, or used their irresistible good looks to steal the hearts of fans around the world.
