[downhill66]

or this:

 

[untitledsince89]

hell yea the sundays are soo sick, too bad that this year IH changed all the other FR 7point bikes to crappy marzocchi forks. Seriously, whats the point of the 1.5 HT if ur not gonna put a fork with one on it. Besides if ur putting a DC on it

 

[WKC]

Nah. I never planned on getting one, it would just be really badass. i still have my '04 Gemini

This topic has been gone over time and again.

So to reduce headtube ovalization and increase weld surface area for downtube & toptube to headtube.

yea i gotvha ther, I have an 05 IH , that used to have, a stance 1.5 which was decent, which is now a slider. I kno the 1.5 ht makes it stronger, but if IH was doing that they might as well at least put a good fork with a 1.5 steerer on it. Because in the case of the lower end Yazukus; with the crappy drop off;s they come spec'ed with, its not going to matter, as much for the frame. but yes i understand your point

 

[zmtber]

i think the giant is a well put together bike especialy with the 40 andf starting under 5 g's at 4800

IH is always a good way to go, for the most part

 

[Dirtjumper999]

[zmtber]

I'd have to still stick with the specialized SX... That bike just looks well built, balanced, and fun for the trail. Granted I don't get to ride ski slopes anymore, so I'm not choosing the DH rigs. I don't know though, can't justify spending over $2500 for a bike... I'm thinking I'm going to have to get another transition, and try out the preston this year. The dirtbag was tight, but I don't need that caliber of a bike for around here...

Check out this BEA uuuuuuutiful rig.. I definently like the black from last year, but that blue or silver's not bad if built up right.

All for under $2500

 

[Alpinist]

for another year but, if I was buying I'd be looking at Knolly Delerium or maybe Versus Blitz - both frame only but pimpin!

Black is always nice, however I like the blue/silver finish also...and yes, thats a nice rig.

Pffft... Whatever. All those bikes suck.

Peaty, Strait, and even DW are all fighting to get their hands on this baby:

holy crap is that the new huffy that is said is going to beat the honda bike with its new suspension technology and its shimano equiped

Do you want a 66 for your Scream? Cheap, Cheap, Cheap! Especially for you working stiffs...

 

[aggrorider]

Price may be a bit hefty on the wallet and a little over priced, but you're getting a race ready package out of the box. Not much to "upgrade". Definitely a king headset, maybe new hubs, rubber and X-0 shifter pod. Other than that it is pretty much top of the line everything. If you were to change stuff it would just be for personal preference. (Holzfeller -> Saint)

I had a dirtbag in 2004, loved it. I also built it to be Whistler bomb proof. Do you think you could build a dirtbag to ride trail with? I need a bike to ride xc with, but also rip some smaller stuff that's around here in the midwest.

 

[singlepivot]

nice complimentary pair, both are stock

[jeff da grom]

a second vote for the sx trail... i just ordered the frame today...

 

[eball]

As a whole build kit:

I would have to say the Transition Bottle Rocket.

They offer a killer set up (component wise) right out of the box

 

[ASX_Andy]

the yeti ASX is a whole hell of a lot of bike out of the box..undisputable
