but I don't care

The rear fender needs a little trimming, but I may keep it that length for better protection.

Yeah it's heavy, but yeah, I don't race. Hopey should be coming soon. Notice the non-matching white on the fenders....don't buy white THE fenders...get clear and paint them yourself, if that's the color you want

very nice mr sandwich. enjoy!

 

[GumbaFish]

Nice motorcycle but where is the bike?

 

[Tame Ape]

Seriously, where is the engine? Things dope! If you get a chance, you should 'down-grade' to the TMX from the Big-Link you have there.

Oh yeah. Whats the weight? 60lbs?

silly ape.

that's a racelink and im guessing the weight at about 56 pounds.

I love BMW's link bikes...very nice!

d'oh!

Sikocycles had a big link that weighed at least 70+ lbs back in the day. We rode Diablo and some how got lost on the backside, and had to pedal back. He tried to take a shortcut and put the bike over a fence, but had to ask for help because it was so unwieldly. haha, it was funny then too

Is the 2001 outfit because you like the looks or do you think the 24s and Nokian are a great combo?

 

[Sandwich]

I bought the bike used, and it came with the wheels. Nobody wants to buy 24s, so I figured I'd ride them. Plus, the bike came with about 12 near new 24" tires. I just can't justify selling 12 new tires and two new wheels for $200. So, I'll leave them on there until I wear them out or get 26s.
The nokians are plattekill only, wet weather only. I know they're overkill, but there's so much traction, it makes it worth it. I rode them in the snow there last year, and I seemed to be the only person that had traction. Like I said, they're practically brand new...can't let em go to waste.

The fenders are for early/late season wet weather riding...i don't intend to leave them on when they're not necessary. I just wanted to snap a pic of the bike because the fenders really complete the old school, plattekill feel.

Completion would be green doublewides.

haha rootbeer bullit?

Believe it or not, the bike works really well, despite what current trends might say about the build.

 

[CBJ]

12 new tires - I guess somebody had plan a lot of riding and the Nokian takes a long time to wear down.

Lower weight is not a trend. I have certified weak arms and my 2001 Kona Stab Primo was a beast so I just have more fun and can ride for more hours on my 41lbs Sunday (not a comment that the RL isn't perfect for you).

Good luck with the bike in 2007.

 

[seismic]

I love everything on your bike except the front fender.....

 

[sriracha]

that thing looks pretty clean. i bet it's fun. sweet bike!
in 2001, i was on a bullit with a 5"Z1QR20. that was a good year for riding!

 

[DHS]

nice bike, your rear fender should be more in line with the wheel and not sticking straight up as it is.

24"x3 is about the same size as a 26"x2.3

 

[no skid marks]

I don't,I'd change everything but the frame,shock,cranks,and pedals.
It'd be cool to have as is if you owned other bikes.

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

i like my fender - short but effective, lol
