Seconded.Dammit. Thought this was gonna be a swinger thread.
I have a Sette Flite that is on its 3rd or 4th season that is the best handling Mt Bike I've owned. I suspect this bike will also rock
had to happen sooner or laterBike related content in the Lounge???
Thirded-ed lol
I'm not trying to be rude, but the bike you replaced wasn't exactly the pinnacle of design.
no, you are.....
i wonder how the craigslist ad would read....
You do realize that things have changed allot in 30 years right???? Any sort of opinions and knowledge based in the land of canty's is a bit dated by now.
walmart bikes arent known for their handling
Fo Rizzle. Were not talking about Tinker and Dawn Cashen here. Get new bikes, have fun. Repeat as necessary.
wasn't your previous bike a schwinn straight six???? although i've never ridden one i still have a soft spot for them, i always like the look of them....
That was a good bike. If it wasn't for the unreliability of the pull shock, it would have been great. I had mine last rebuilt at the 2003 NCS Snowshoe and the tech told me they just don't have parts for that shock anymore... i.e. when this blows again, you're SOL. It was blowing about once a season, so I decided to sell it and switch to something else.
Ask about his recent upgrade from his old campy deltas to some modern tectros! Now he can actually stop, therefore great brakes right????
They are fine, it's just a house brand that comes out of the same asian factories as everything else.
trying to overtake netanyahu as the jew everyone loves to hate?
I thought you were trying to spell Matisyahu until I Googled it.
chuckles.
Definitely a discrimanator...never buy Sette because the seats, they are horrible. Will definitely give you bad breath and piles, and have been known to spontaneoulsy combust. Alledgedly. I dont even know.
Yeah, anyone with a stick welder can throw together a rideable frame in an afternoon.
I know, right? (Unwad your panties...its a bike.)
I won't even post a link.
As a rider in his late 40's I take the middle ground. When I had to sell my bikes because I was sick and needed money, the one I kept was a 2004 Titus Switchblade with tubeless tires SRAM s-9 and disc brakes. I appreciate technology but don't worship it, a "better" bike is worse than useless if it makes your ride less fun. On the other hand if A carbon yeti 575 appeared with a not saying it was a birthday present, I wouldn't kick it out of bed.
Hmm. This bike is probably at least as good, probably better, than a high-end FS of 10-15 years ago. Were we having less fun on the trail 10-15 years ago?
