In that last pic, it almost looks chrome. I noticed on their site they are gunmetal gray. I've been looking for a 24" 36h chrome bfr forever. I don't think they make them. I even emailed sun twice and they never responded...
I could have sworn I've seen chrome 24" BFR's around someplace. Have you tried Dan's Comp? They do have chrome RhinoLites (which IMO are better hoops).Mr Tiles said:
Those are some nice pics Landon, Stoked, and Vas! Good to see some riding shots.
good call don, I didn't even notice the chrome rhyno on there. I agree that would be a better choice. saving my pennies up for one now and some kool stop pads...don said:

i dont miss discs at all.
Here...new ride from Nemesis:
I find discs useless for street...(unless you get them for free... or paid to use them) Botched side hops/pedal grinds, ledge tricks = bent discs... not to mention V-brakes work just fine if you set them up right.v-digit said:
The nice thing about the fall guy is the super thick seatstay/chainstays, they don't flex at all with a v-brake, and give a nice firm feel at the brake lever. Any other cromo mtb I've ridden required a brake booster to eliminate the flex... and even then, it didn't compare to the Fall Guy
......Landon, I need to get you some better pictures for your website. You're right, it's weird seeing yourself online! Thanks though, I saw "The News" update at work today, (I probably check out tonic updates more then I do actual work) and I have to say I was pretty suprised to stumble upon that.If you like the pictures of the spot that was taken at, you should see the place now. I'll try to get you some updated photo's you'd be impressed at the work we've done! You'll have to stop by one of these days.
I'm excited to see that Fall guys are now being offered with intergrated headsets, and mid bottom brackets! Nice touch to an already great frame!
new tonic update - awesome - we need more of those, 5 times a week.
gosh darn it jay, no matter how nice it is, keep that weird lookin bike out of this thread
get your own, your own!!!

How much does the Tonic bike in the original post cost?
~ $1500-1800
It was in the $1900 to $2000 range, but there's some ti bits on there that you really don't need. As V-digit stated, you could put something similar together for around $1500. The frame/fork/hs/bb deal Landon has put together is a pretty good deal all things considered. Save some cash on some inexpensive wheels and you'd be right around $1500 and have one hell of a machine.Eatmyfood! said:
Hey Stoked, thanks for fixing the picture I tried to post. Could you please enlighten me as to the mystical powers used to do such a thing? Imageshack had instructions for posting a thumbnail, but not a full-size pic...
i opened the original(large) pic by clicking on the thumbnail, then right click>copy image location. then paste in betweentrust4130 said:
Thanks Stoked. I'll probably use photobucket in the future...

its partly illusion.. he's runnin 24's.. that in itself drops teh bars 1" or so compared to a 26"..
yeah, it looks pretty normal to me.
he's getting a 65mm nemesis z1 today in the mail. then it will be more normal. that bike is sweet in person.
Actually, it is really tall. Waiting on the delivery of my "modded" Z1 from Nemesis. My DJ1 is at 100mm, and the frame was built around a 65-70mm fork. Not to mention, the "wide" setting on the P&S I used to shoot it with makes it look a bit funky.Stoked said:
(thanks Vas)
If it makes it here, see ya at the Banks!
too bad u missed last night, there were like 30 cats goin off. i want to see that bike with that fork. banks, tonight.qualude said:

AAAARGH!!!!!
nice ride. brakeless and all.
how do u keep that chainstay so perfect?

Alright...new spindle, new fork, new sticker and done, finally!
how's that fork feel? I haven't ridden one yet but they look very interesting. My sherman barely moves with the tool and die spring mod and that's the way I like it for park and stuff. Just wondering how much if any the nemesis tuned forks go thru the travel?
aight. i need to order one of them gold springs for my sherman jumper. was it hard to switch them? did you do it yourself?
btw...i'm not sure where it went , but i just flipped through this whole thread looking for a link towards them springs, and i couldnt find it. i'm sure it was right infront of me at some point, but, could u post it up again?

you need a dremel and a belt sander helps. none of which i had but racer edge hooked it up. gerald has a good idea of how to do it now. it didnt take very long at all.v-digit said:
i found that the gold spring took away all the slop the fork had once you get up to speed. the xfirm spring felt good when the bike was sitting still but at speeds felt like poo.
link to springs...thanks to don again

and just to be completely retarded - i simply order the extact spring that comes up when i click on the gold spring link? i dont have to change dimesions, right?
nice. just ordered it. looking forward to feel the difference.
