Well, I guess there is money in that. xD

Sell your body?

Too big, and I've got bills to pay. I really did enjoy it, but frankly, I don't go to lift hills enough to warrant owning it, so something smaller, and more versatile, is in order.

Yep, seems like the right bike. If I hate it, sell it to some PB grom, and save for a 6.6 SS.

I am pretty stuck. Covert's too steep, and too tall. I'd like to get a little more into the trick scene, as I love tricks on my BMX, so the low TT is appealing.

Yeah, I want sub 6, and over 4.5. Syren? To be honest, I'm really not that stoked for it. I know it's the same as the bottle rocket, but has a shorter TT, but I'm not a small guy, 6'2", so I feel the bottle rocket fits me better.

GT is URT, no thanks. Jamis uses the same design with less travel. Ellsworth is too expensive, as is Santa cruz. I have about 1600 to build it, need to buy the frame, and a few other things.

Well, I was looking at the Foes in shop, but it's about a grand more, with parts that are toast, like the shock, the BB, and the pivots. Mike Gooch previously owned it, if you know him, you'll understand why I said it. http://thebikezone.com/ Go to THE SHOP. That's the brands we carry.

Gotta stay in store brands. The Hectik wasn't too bad, but it just feels wonky to me. My friend has a slightly upgraded Hectik 2, and I've ridden it at Blue. And that rhymed. I'm trying to steer away from the 'rocket as it's not horst link, but I rode a preproduction and liked it.

August 16/17th. By the way, know any cheap bottle rocket alternatives?

Lol. I went to bed too.

Well I gave you 10 hours to take a listen. How was it?

.44 caliber love letter by Alexisonfire doesn't have any screaming I'm quite sure.

Yeah, I listen to there stuff. But I'm more into Alexisonfire type music.

Yeah, and too bad the band broke up That happened when? 04- 05?

The beginning is the end is the beginning is a song by the Smashing Pumpkins.

figures.

alright so here's what i don't get...you said (down at the don today) you put a crack in a 55 pound banshee scream...so what made you think, hmm, i broke that, let's build a 35 pound downhill bike?

ok cheers i found a site that sells them its 215.5mm the one that will fit. thanks for the help

ok mine is 8.75 so i do need a 8.75 rear shock then ryt do u have a link to one in that size

no mines a bighit 3 and comes stock with a dhx 3.0 and yh that is what i measured it from and came to nine inches ill double check tho

hello i just checked my bighit and eye to eye is actualy 230mm 9" but just to make sure eye to eye is where the bushings are. will i still need the 8.75 shock

or the corsair crown?

do you think the demo would be anygood

what about the v10

but do you think it would do good in some dh races

so that frame would be able to take crashes?

hey do you think the knolly v-tach would be any good?

thanks

but probaly building it my self

and i would try to build it my self or a complete

i am going to buy a frame next year once i have enough money i am saving up to 7000 so thats my limit in money and for freeride it would be big hips, big gaps that type of stuff and still be able to do dh good i would problay by next year weigh at least 150 pounds

do you know of any other frames that i could get onto the podium of a dh race and still be good at freeride?

hey how does you wilson ride for light freeride and just freerideing and dh?

It's always good to know what a part will take...and then test to see if it'll take more.

Ask Hummer about the structural integrity of cracked CF. He should be able to shed some light on how much your fork will take now.

Well, good luck on that. I'm not sure if I'd personally trust the structural integrity of my fork to clear nail polish, but it's your head I guess. If I had a DH fork lying around to give you, I would, but I don't so I can't....try Hummer.

Have you looked into that $500 05 Dorado new from price point? That might be a good option for you. There would be no okward getting used to a different feeling fork time and it's reletively cheap especially for a new fork.

If you check out my ride, I rarely sit down anyways Not sure how it is only recommended for XC use though, an XC rider puts waaay more stress on a saddle than a DH rider, or someone riding urban... Plus we have big squishy suspension to absorb impacts.

That's not too bad, I have to get my ass over to some shops to check out prices.

I would say good luck, but it's been 3 days so how'd it go?

I noticed you have a Tioga Spyder, or similar seat, how much did it cost? I've been looking for one but can't even find a shop that sells it.

It should be pretty easy to find a back stocked 07 888 RC2X WC if you wanted a good Marzo. It's gonna be a wait for the new Dorado though, what's to be run for a temporary gravity assisted fun fest? Hell, if you get the Boxxer, you could ask Hummer to put in a good word for you at Push.

That sucks major ass. I actually pretty much killed my front brake last saturday going DH. I want to replace it with Avid, but the Elixer is supposedly better than the 7 and cheaper too...it's not out yet though. Oh well, I managed to forget leg protection and just happened to go onto a paved access road WAY, WAY, too fast and ended up sliding about 60-70 feet on pavement with bare skin. My left leg is pretty much dead for now.

Anyways, it sucks the Dorado is dead, you thinking Boxxer, 40, 888, new Dorado, Travis, BOS, what?

The Dorado has finally died? How?

and your wilson looks amazing with road tyres.
