Has anyone hear anything about the 08 sunday's? Came across another forum not sure if the information is true but.... http://forums.farkin.net/showthread.php?p=1041279

Basically its saying hill's current ride is pretty much the 08 wc model and will retail for $8999.

 

[Lollapalooza]

Isn't that $9000 Australian though? Is that like $6500 US?

 

[yuroshek]

theres no way that bike is 9k. if im not mistaken i think thats in aussie dollars or whatever RRP money is. i love how people are gonna buy it if its the same setup as hills' i mean its not like they are gonna ride just as good and fast as hill .

some people are just dumb.

not knockin hill at all, great rider and has skill but skill doesnt come with the new 08 wc sorry guys.

 

[hungryleprican]

id believe it if it was a 9k bike but theres no way ironhorse would make there world cup stock with 9k worth of parts on there. Hills 07 bike wasnt exactly like the 07 world cup that was sold to the public

 

[Jettj45]

ooo i forgot it said rrp lol.

 

[DavidMakalaster]

rrp stands for recomended retail price. It's an Aussie forum though.

 

[RaID]

thats definitely the retail price in $AUS

on side note hopefully the price will come down considering
the $Aus is so strong against the $US

i had heard the WC might be coming with 2 wheelsets which would be pretty nuts.

 

[jvnixon]

i heard the Australian Sunday is faster than the American one.

now THAT would be dope

 

[punkassean]

Why would it come with two wheelsets? I think that would be silly. Why force a consumer to buy two sets of wheels even if they only want one? I'd rather have a cheaper bike and one set of wheels personally and I think most people would agree, with the exception of the extreme Sam Hill wannabes. Sam is the baddest mofo out there but I don't need to have every single part right down to a spare wheelset. Hell, I don't even have any of his parts actually..... come to think of it, maybe that's why I'm only an expert DH racer!

 

[Pip3r]

if it is to be the case youd have to look at it more as buying a race bike package. anyone that is serious enough to throw down enough money on a sunday world cup ought to be serious enough to have 2 wheelsets, or atleast see the value in having an extra

spare wheels rule. . . . and they have ruled long before Sam Hill came around. i beat the piss out of one set and have an identical pair that have less than 10 runs on them all year.

anyone buying a WC is likely using it for racing and i don't know any serious racer who wouldn't appreciate two pairs of wheels.

 

[dropmachine]

the new DW link allows for the use of up to 7 wheels at any one time, all bob-free.

You heard it here first.

 

[Bicyclist]

But what if the consumer doesn't want the stock wheels, much less 2 sets?

Dave and I sold the wheels off our '07 WC's in just under 48 hours for $700 per pair. genius, huh?

100% true. 7 wheels = 7x as fast. It's science.

Wouldn't you rather pay that much less from the get-go? IMO it seems a bit silly.

yeah you're right, especially since there are no other options for a high end DH bike these days. wouldn't it be rad if you could just buy a frame and build it up as you like? that'd be swell

and guess what i did with that $700 i made from selling the wheels? that's right i bought spare wheels!

this thread cracks me up. . . .

 

[dexter]

i think its an awesome idea

 

[slowracer]

no wonder sam is soo fast, he goes through about 65 wheels a year.

 

[Damo]

I had heard IronHorse had gone under due to public indifference. It seemed no-one was buying them...
You certainly don't hear anything about the company these days...

 

[klunky]

I have seen the UK prices for 2008 and they are pretty similar to 2007 even a few price reductions.

 

[G3ars0fDH]

someone post an actual pic of an 08 sunday

 

[Jettj45]

Apparently its going to have just about the same paint scheme as sam's current race bike. So something like this

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

that is just gross. they need to make a tan bike. thats a dope color

then you're obviously not the target consumer for this product... you know that for '07 there were a total of 4 models of Sunday, with 3 of them being cheaper than the WC. The WC model is just that, a bike that can (out of the box) race world cups.

IH doesn't pay $700 to buy that wheelset. If you didn't want it on the bike you might save $200, if you sell the wheelset you can make a lot of money.

 

[Eren]

hmm, that other forum said spec will be similar, wonder if it will come with the vivid then??

edit: looks like 08 sundays (wc specifically) will be runnin the vivd!

and if it did have the same paint scheme that would be sick, maybe not black/green, but that combo (linakges painted and ish) looks ill

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

next year im getting the vivid and new paint on the frame and fork. instant new bike.

 

[Jettj45]

Are there any reviews on the vivid?

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

the reviews haven't been to vivid

 

[Demomonkey]

Ive reviewed a few vivids in the past, good quality production, hot chicas, a little too much silicone for my tastes but generally they make a pretty good flick.
