Guerrilla Gravity, badass frame manufacturer in Colorado

- Start date
The Golden Giddyup race was yesterday, where we raced down trails in Apex park and North Table Mountain. For those familiar with the Front Range, it's pretty crazy Jefferson County Open Space allows the trails to be closed for a mountain bike race. Much fun was had, many guerrillas were out in the wild. @Nick was there with his pimp new gloss Purple Drank Pedälhead making sure golf carts didn't run over cyclists.

Not up yet. I passed 6 people going down EF/Apex, though, braap. Although, when I turned in my timing chip, I remember something like 16th out of around 70 at the time for the whole thing. Just the Chimpex loop would have been more competitive for me.
Yeah, missing Steamboat was a downer, I've raced that one for the past couple years and it's always a good one. This year's stage of Rawhide to Creekside had to be one of the most fun runs of the year.
The best was day 1 in the backcountry. OMG smiles for miles for 5 stages. Unless you count the hike a bike. But even that was worth it in the long run.
Day 2 was Steamboat bike park style. And yes Rawhide to Creekside FTW.
That Flying W jump trail tho. Best jump trail in the state IMO. Wish the boat was closer!

Heh. A buddy of mine just built/rebuilt that. I'll tell him everyone's saying it sucks.
I'm in the same boat. I really want to get the Megatrail as my next bike but won't be getting it here in Australia. The pricing from Bike Brew doesn't add up. GG site lists the Megatrail Race build as $5,295 usd and Bike Brew as it as $9,249 aud. WTF. You can't justify a 39% increase after conversion rates. For reference a Specialized Enduro in the US is $8,500 usd and in Australia from a shop it's $11,000 aud. Seen these on special lately for $9,000 aud. Also a Trek Slash 9.9 in the US is $8,000 and in Australia is $10,000 aud. Also seen these on special for $8,000. I'll be having to make a holiday of it and travel over to the USA to get my GG Megatrail.
I'll pass that feedback along to Bike Brew. If you travel to Denver to pick up a Megatrail, you wouldn't be the first international customer to take the Colorado delivery option.
^^ Ha.
The below is also known to happen for Colorado delivery, taking people from sea level to places where aircraft are required to pressurize their cabins, and where you have to scale a snow bank in late July.

Ahah, that's the ride where Will and you were comparing the size of your fanny packs at 14.000ft...^^ Ha.

It's time to take your meds
snow. 
It is literally cheaper to fly to American, buy one, ride it (2nd hand/used bikes have no import duty) and fly home. There's a few other bike brands that are the same.
Find someone who will pick it up in Denver and fly it to Oz and then split the cost of airline tickets with him - you get the bike, he gets a nice discount on a holiday trip.
Now taking orders for all US imports to whistler employee island*

Oh man... now you've done it Woo...
Managed to say the one thing that will piss off both the Aussies and the Kiwis...
What that whistler farms its labor force from a former prison camp or that there's more reason for a bunch of prisoners to come to new zealand to pick up their frames?
oh, right.....I see what you mean

I smuggled bikes and parts for years into Peru, paid for all of my trips.
Here's the official list: http://ridegg.com/find-demoAnyone in the BAMF program in NC with a smash I could maybe throw a leg over?
I just rode a medium for the review bike. Then got the fellers to send me a small to demo. Bought a small.
Care to share your measurements (height, inseam, wingspan)?
I used to be 5'9" but then collapsed discs and some adult onset scoliosis took me down a notch. I'm 5'8" and crooked.
I don't know any of that other stuff. It's kind of meaningless in my opinion because what gets recommended to me for bike sizes is so often way off for what I end up enjoying riding. In 2001 everyone had me on frames that felt too small and I bought larges. Now everyone wants cadillacs and I buy more smalls.
Those were the OG frames I'm talking about anyway. If you like moving your bike around I'd definitely size down if you're between sizes on the new ones. If you like stability in a straight line over all else, then go the other way. I like being able to get on my back wheel quickly.

But I want it all!
Thanks, much appreciated.
