Ma Full Sus
http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/788990/ Ma Hardtail 
http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/788997/ tis all pretty much the same as pics, but i got a front disk brake on hardtail now, and pink penthouse flats for the full sus arriving next wed.
p.s. how can you race 4x with singelspeed? or do you not race? |

It was my first race. I did pretty well considering the bike was easily over 40lbs there, and it was SS. I came 3rd in the provincial championships for my division. I showed up 6 minutes before the course was closed for practice though, and only got in one practice run. I could have come 2nd provide I had a bit more practice, but oh well.
I solved the SS and weigh issue though. I traded my heavy ass primo parts for some sleek and sexy x.0 drive train. Nice bikes by the way. Thats a damn short top tube on the scott. |

good move going for X-0 
anyways, yeh it a medium, and i got it for free off scott after ripping the headtube off a YZ2, hehe, they said they'd never seen it done before soo they gave me a YZ1

I don't have a photo of my HT (2001 Rockhopper A1 comp) And here is my first ever MTB (from before most of you were born  ). It's still in my parents garage:

Cheers. She's one fast trail bike. I love her. The only original parts left are the frame, shock, forks and stem. |

Here's the fleet, bar the raleigh max commuter....

Nice kona, john. What made you get rid of the big hit? | ||||
| John |
How do you know I got rid of the bighit? Or are you guessing? Just wanted something a bit racier and lower. (Obviously BigHits are tall with a high BB). It's low and long, a bugger on tight turns but its soooo sweet on everything else
|

| Roo |
Is that for the '06 bighit as well? I find I can barely put a pedal in on bumpy ground without catching the pedals! |
||||
| John |
Yep 06 as pictured above.
what travel forks are you using? 200mm? And what length crank arms? Do you drop the outside pedal when cornering? You should be able to tank over everything without catching the pedals on a bighit. Took me a while to stop catching the pedals on the stab after riding a bighit. |

| Roo |
200mm 888's with hard springs, can't remember the crank size, either 170 or 175 though nothing fancy. What's probably doing it is the soft rear spring, it's a 450 on there and I'm 14.5 stone, so a fair amount of sag, a 500 would probably be right, but that costs money

Nikki and I shall have have our steeds sorted by the end of the month! Expect pics then.
Nikki's receiving one from the first batch of production Diamondback Bandito '08s and I should finally have my prototype Identiti Krisis with nice short front end built up. Happytimes!

I was just guessing: I didn't think you'd keep the bighit and the kona! Yeah i find mine quite long. The good thing though, is that height wise it feels like a hardtail. |
||||
| jedi |
mine,has moto v2's now though |
||||
| John |
Jedi that is insane!! How much does that weigh?? Upwards of 55lbs I'm guessing!!
How big have you gone on that beast? edit: is that a 24" rear wheel with a big old tyre on it? |
||||
| jedi |
it's 49lb and has 3" tyre on 24" rear | ||||
| John |
Doesn't way too much more than my stab then. can't figure out how it only weighs that much though? Or are demo9 frames not as heavy as they appear?
Whats the secret!!? |
||||
| jedi |
they are 14lb iirc | ||||
| jedi |
too much media bullshit about freeride bikes having to be light.
all they need is a double front ring |
||||
| John |
Yeah I guess that's true, especially for shore riding. | ||||
| grinch8 |
heres mine, i dont have any onther photos of it that i can find!
|
||||
| JAW |
Nice, liking the green. Same one as Chopper rides, right? | ||||
| grinch8 |
same frame, but he has a much better set up with all the extras e.g forks, crankset ect. i wish i was as good as him though! | ||||
| JAW |
Here are mine; the flow not ridden since one/two days into the new year and the kona not ridden since before christmas!
