Transition Bottlerocket!

I rode this exact bike at a demo in OR a few months back and LOVED LOVED LOVED it. I wanted this bike so bad it hurt. Those two trips I took down the mountain that day were the funnest rides I've ever had mountain biking. Now it's mine, er, well, will be by the end of Jan (it's on layaway...)

Sweet new ride luv!

That ManhattenProject guy on here has one to and really digs it. I was thinking about getting one myself, but all my funds have been diverted to a snowboard trip...

Oh well... next year.

Not to jack your thread...But here's my Christmas present to myself.

Very nice indeed. We're thinking of picking up a Bottle Rocket frame for Mohshee to replace the Banshee and serve as both her DH and 4\4X bike. She had thought about getting a full on DH race bike but considering we're stuck in Texas for another year something like the Bottle Rocket will get much more use. Plus she didn't seem to have much problem getting down the DH courses on the Chaparal and even though it has 1/2" less travel I thikn the Bottle Rocket willl get her to the bottom even faster.

 

[luvz2ridez]

I definitely recommend the Bottle rocket as a good all around bike, but make sure you get it with the Marzocchi 66RC2X fork on it, it's fantastic! I wanted a DH bike like my hubby's Yakuza, but rode my friends Yakuza and thought it was way too heavy for me (5'4"), the bottle rocket is just right and it can do everything!

The Zocc is indeed a good fork but we already have a Fox 36RC2 Talas that we'll be using.

Yah! Why are we getting all the snow out here in the PNW? We're supposed to get 3-5 ft. in the mountains tonight! That will not allow me to be able to ride my new bike I'm picking up tomorrow...

I guess you can still pet the bike?! If you are really bored, get clear nail polish and paint the bolts. That will keep them pretty,...my bolts have rust in them even though I keep my bike clean.

 

[luvz2ridez]

Well, here it is guys! Just picked her up today! Now if only the ground weren't so saturated and soggy...

I'm so jealous - send your snow here!

Awesome ride, the trails were mint in the Seattle area last weekend!

Are you nuts? I couldn't even walk down the trails with my dogs without slipping and sliding!

 

[Monkeybidnezz]

:biggrin: Hey, getting there is half the fun. We hit St Eds and Sawyer, and the trails were super tacky because of the FFFFFFfreezing temps.

 

[luvz2ridez]

I was at St. Ed's Sunday walking the dogs, maybe I saw you, there was a few people riding the trails...

We rode St. Ed's on Saturday. The trails were in pretty good shape. I like it when the ground is frozen = no mud.

Aww unfortunately I was there on Sunday huffing and puffing on the DH rig. Hopefully this weekend is dry so you can get out. Guys love women on hot bikes

Sweet, did you see J there? I was supposed to join him, but I got up too late. He was there about 10 freezing his buns off!
