Yes...yes I am...You a large? I have a Giant NRS you might be able to have.
Bikes missing from your stable?
- Thread starter DirtMcGirk
- Start date
I would like to have a few of the bikes I had back.
Yeti 575 that was stolen
Yeti 4X that was sold
Yeti ARC-X that was also sold
Current bike is only my EWR which I ride happily and then don't ride and think I want a FS trail bike then go and ride a FS trail bike and am unhappy, so,...
I do want a pure DH bike, Yeti 303R would work.

This is the Lynskey I was talking about:Technically, any custom builder can make you a hardtail with a reinforced headtube junction, a 69 degree HA, and low standover.
I got Seven to make me one, but it was like pulling teeth. Deviating from the 71/73 angle or using a tire wider than than 2.1 was heresy.
On the other hand, here's Serotta's take on a ti hardtail:
Descend Like Full Suspension, Climb Like a Hardtail
Yep, you can take TiMax down Garbanzo or Karpiel.

Also - Lysnkey builds the Ti On One Inbred 456 frame
And they are also building frames for former On One designer, Brant Richard's new brand, Ragley.
The Ragley Ti - that might fit the bill:
Lysnkey also built Nukeproof a handlebar,.....
Yeah that handlebar wasn't the prettiest thing now was it. But their frames sure do look sweet to me.
Legitimate resident...otherwise I would've bought a mountain bike with rent money.
Crap. That Linskey looks like the business.
Why do I keep doing this to myself... Well here's to hoping I get the new job, because with no wife and no debt, I can sink money into things I really don't need.

I was about to order one, pretty sweet looking, pretty suck ass that they all fell apart.
Ahh... you wouldn't like it. It's a crappy psuedo-full sus Horst link piece of crap.Yes...yes I am...
I thought the looked f'ugly.
Your Fugly!
Kidding aside I had an idea for a bike I was thinking of building and that bar fit perfectly in my mind. The fact that it want to production was sold and found to fail speaks volumes to me about a company.

I never fully read what the story was for the recall on them. What was the problem - where were they failing etc?
Way to dredge up my gearwhore teeangster past.Ahh... you wouldn't like it. It's a crappy psuedo-full sus Horst link piece of crap.
I say a few on the webz (take that with a grain of salt) that had big cracks in the welds forming. One day CRC had them, the next morning they did not.
I want a classic 90's era early FS bike, like a proflex 957 or Trek Y-5oh or something similarly over-anodized.
I have a buddy with a proflex who might be inclined to get rid of it...
what model is it, and does it have the awful fork with it?
Funny part about you saying that, I just sold my roadie for seven bills, and it was decked out .
The even funnier part, I listed it on ride monkey at least three times over the last few years before I put it on Ebay!!!!!!
What size was it? I'm guessing it wasn't my size. I can't find anything in my size. I'm gonna guess 54.
I had to look it up when you said that. It looks like a prop from the Demolition Man movie.
You're still missing a DH bike damn it!!!!!!!!!
send him a Karpiel.
I currently have;
Slalom bikes(3)- 3 ht- need to build an fs one
XC hardtails(3)- 1 steel, 2 alu- building a carbon one this fall
Road bikes(10)- A category unto itself;
-2 race bikes (one alu, one steel), 2 winter bikes (one alu, one steel), 1 Rando bike, one fixed commuter, one geared commuter, 2 track race bikes, 1 TT bike- Need to build carbon road, track and tt frames over the winter.
BMX bikes (1)- Have a race frame, need to build a race/trails frame
Trials bikes(1)- have a 24" street bike, need to build 26" street bike and a 24" with modern mod geo
DH bikes (2)- 2 old team bikes- Need to build a gearbox bike and a Spooky race bike
FS trail bikes (O)- Need to build myself a trail bike.
-----------------------------------------------
Summary;
Have 20 bikes, need to build 11 new frames/bike this winter.
At this rate, I may need to get a second job just to pay for parts for all the new bikes... or GASP, unbuild some of the other bikes.

After I build my DJer, I'll have all the bikes I need.
• DMR Rhythm 24 DJer
• Echo Control 26 trials
• Soul Cycles Roscoe SS, all around beater
I just bought the Echo complete (like new) and the Rhythm (new) will be completed in a week. I won't be needing anything for a while.

You are an incredibly sensitive man, who inspires joy-joy feelings in all those around you.
Hand made in the US, Easton ProGram aluminum, carbon swingarm and fork, noleen shawks, (originally) kooka cranks with gold bolts, polished aluminum mainframe. Thing was like a custom built dreambike from the factory. I bet it still rides halfway decent too.
if it rides like the fork, then i highly doubt so. i had the girvin elastomer fork on my first HT, and that fork was a piece of crap.
hardly 20mm of travel in summer, in winter non at all.
it was pretty stiff, though... in all directions
You'll note the coil over on the fork in the bike pic. Not elastomers.if it rides like the fork, then i highly doubt so. i had the girvin elastomer fork on my first HT, and that fork was a piece of crap.

Also note that they added a coil but neglected to add a dampener.
The other cool feature about that fork was the stem being part of the suspension. If you crashed, and your bars got twisted, it would bend the pivot axles. I must have pulled mine and "straighten" them a half dozen times.
I hate when my fork dries out.
wrong'n'wrong
First off, the 957 with the crosslink Elite carbon had a noleen nr-3 with a coil, which is a gas charged oil damped shock. Maybe it was an nr-2...hmm.
Second, all girvins, even the awful mk2 posted above, had a damper in them, even if they had elastomers. You could replace the elastomer (which were awful) with a coil spring, and still have damping...albeit probably not as much as a legit shock, since the elastomers provide some damping qualities (not quality)
turdly, the latter models (the noleen and onward series) let you use your own stem, and clamped above the head tube onto the steerer.
Not saying the mk2 girvin didn't suck, just that the latter ones sucked less.
Hey - it had to be at LEAST as good WRT dampening as the elastomers.
See your pm on ridemonkey.
remember when noleen put those electronic boxes on the shock that were supposed to do something special but nobody could figure out what they actually did?if it rides like the fork, then i highly doubt so. i had the girvin elastomer fork on my first HT, and that fork was a piece of crap.

Damn you, I typed that 3 times trying to get it right. That was pre-coffee.
My original all aluminum one has no damper of any kind. It rides like a pogo stick.
I have the mountain bikes I want presently. I could use an XC hardtail of some kind for just spinning out miles though. Probably a Sinister Mustang...
I think I want more motorcycles at the moment though. Like this:

What the hell is that? Looks sick!
I was out camping/fishing last year, apparently the lake I was at was a popular place for "enduro" riding or whatever you call it.
These guys were awesome! They were riding on single track trails for dirt bikes, climbing insanely steep hills....looked like a deer when they hop off the road and up into the hills.
I will list my current never-ending list of wants in order which they will be relegated to reality.
Already have:
1. Santa Cruz V10
2. Specialized Stumpjumper Expert with strange build
3. Old Raleigh fixed gear with new Mavic Open Sport wheels
Want:
1. Lightweight XC wheel-set (i.e. Easton ONE), and a few other bits for XC bike
2. Eastern BMX (have frame, need to build)
3. Spooky Skeletor with Ksyrium SL wheels and Ultegra parts (hopefully frame will be ordered soon, very excite!)
4. Santa Cruz Jackal (new style) built with gears and light parts for DS.

dmr transition 24 with society forks, halo wheels, and rim brakes. 
and maybe a really nice set of trails to ride it on.
