haters please check OUT of this thread

bent the stock front rim first day overjumping some stairs. Think thats when I broke the internals on one side of the original forks too. Snapped the derailleur doing a local hill, snapped the original chain (so much slap!) not much later. The hanger is bent so it doesnt change gears too smoothly. Original chainguide dissapeared when I bent the original crank on the skydome stairs. Got a '04 P3 (frame only)coming this week, gonna put some boxxer race's on it then

its how I ride, not what I ride that should matter

i bought this thing at crappy tire originally the deore disc was a sub $200 upgrade after finding out the bolts I had didnt fit in the v-brake posts of the z5's when replacing the broken stocker

Your right, but you also have to have a bike that can keep up with you...

yeah, unfortunatley this thing keeps on breaking down
Ah well, pickup the p3 next week then a boxxer race a few weeks after. Hopefully a hope front disc and bump the deore to the back, then I can work on a nice chainguide and some 2.7's

i dont even have enough money for a front brake. i bought a oem dj2 fork and have no disk brake for it

I know I'm going to get some flak for this, but I say replace stuff when you break it. Riding a bike like that will increase your skill quite quickly. You'll learn to land a lot smoother (so as not to break parts).

Other than that, it's a hell of a lot nicer than the bike I started on.

is that a costco bike?

I dont find that riding a junk bike makes you better at all. I rode hardtails for a couple years when I first started, then got a bighit, then a demo 9 and another hardtail. The full dually's have given me alot more confidence, and that confidence carries over when I ride a hardtail.
