I believe Alex Ortner was the lead designer



I believe that is correct. The Gary mentioned earlier was the head machinist back when if memory serves. I bought my Monster from Alfred in '00. In '01 he called and asked to "borrow" the bike to fit some proto rearset parts. I am almost positive it was Gary who came out to my house to do the fitting. Of course that was about 7 years, one job, two moves, another child, and an unknown number of beverages ago.

So at this time no one 'new' is picking up where CC left off, at least in the rearsets aspect.  Huh.  Oh well, not that I need them now anyway, but was just wondering.  Most of my stuff is SM anyway, except the risers. 

Yeah, I did get oncycles for leftovers, but nothing for rearsets.  I'll shoot Christian @ SM an email to see if they picked up CC's stock.
Of all the Ducs in all the world, I got lucky with a Monster............

Yeah, he was like the consulting designer with Gary.

Thanks for reminding me.

TOB = The Other Board or The Original Board.

AKA The ruined dml

MendoDave

Oh OK, cause there was always a reference to the DML in those posts, but I just couldn't figure out how DML = TOB.

But now I know. Thnx.  :)

TOB has been used on various boards to refer to the DML for a long time. It was basically a way to pregnant dog about it with some semblance of respect.
