I'm not sure if anyone has seen the new Cadillac bikes, yes I did say Cadillac. I'm shocked that they actually came out with a bicycle.
Here's a link:

Wonder if they'll come out with matching spinners to go with it, and a suede seat...

 

[PatBranch]

Is that very similar looking to a KHS?

 

[wetsponge007]

I just looked at the KHS poster on my wall and yes it does look just like the the AM1000 or AM2000.

 

[gemini2k]

its the same thing as bmw or porsche or hummer having a bike....they're just rebranded knock-offs or whatever have you

Should start seeing the Mountain bikes on Escalades soon, neither one will ever see dirt.

 

[jonKranked]

this is the DH forum. they aren't making any dh bikes. take this hoopa-joop elsewhere.

 

[vamkie]

Jeep and GMC have bikes, why not cadillac.

I wish Hyundai would come out with one with a 100,000 mile tire to tire waranty

 

[binary visions]

The only way one of those bikes would be worth it is if you were buying a Cadillac and it came with it.

Don't you love how non-bike companies buy someone's frame, paint it different and brand it with their logo, and that makes it worth more?

24 spokes on that all mountain bike, I'd go though those wheels in about two weeks at the most. Keep the corporate sh!t off the trails.

cadillac didn't make those wheels. they are alex. they make decent stuff for their pricepoint. in case you didn't notice sh!t like that is happening on a LOT of xc race wheels nowadays. check shimano's website.

Fuji.

lol....Kent international is the company lic the name....i haven't seen a kent in like 20 years......lol

I just talked to a guy that sells them because after I read this thread I was intrigued. I sold my Giant Faith 3 (great for the $) to pay for some college related issues. I live in WV and there are some great places to ride a DH or FR but I really think that I would do better on an AM or XC. So, I need a moderate priced AM or XC (about $1000.) KHS does actually make the frame says he. They have a great warranty and the parts that come on the AM 2.7 are nice for the money other than the mechanical brakes and the Radium rear shock (no lockout, yeah I'm a nube!) Nixon's are some pretty serious forks, and everything else is more than sufficient. I'm going to ride it like I stole it until the wheels fall off!

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

throw some dee(max)s on that b1tch

 

[S.K.C.]

...someone needs to contact Shaun Palmer.

:biggrin:

 

[HAB]

I saw someone riding around on one of the AM bikes. He had the fork mounted backeards.

 

[hooples3]

great now every Italian in Brooklyn will own one...

Wow!!! What an unbiased, independent review of their bike, and only your first post!!! You should work for them in some capacity!

 

[MTBstud12]

hmmm.. I don't know that I would ride a cadillac, better yet a cadillac bike. Specialized has such a good ring to it.

 

[DirtyMike]

Just to reconfirm what someone else already posted, The cadillac AM bike, is a KHS AM frame with a new paint job. It is actually a good riding AM bike, Very similar to the older FR frame, which I beat the holy hell of for three years, its a tough, durable frame, and yes the wheels only have 24 spokes, but they were made for all mountain, not freeride or dh. If you need something tougher, a Set of Outlaws are always a good bet.

Doh Your in the lounge

 

[BigMike]

doesn't every car company have an overpriced rebranded bike frame?

Not all but most that make a 4x4 do.

I think Honda went in a bit of a different direction.

They at least got the overpriced part down.....

Strike 1 - Having a KHS poster on your wall.
Strike 2 - Admitting it to anyone.

Warning. You are approcahing social suicide- Ridemonkey style.

LAWL!

 

[Luckybikes]

I already own that bike. Its the same as the AM frame Sette at price point is selling and that is made by Asstro in Taiwan. So nothing really special at all.

Example A.

Yeah, if you consider somthing that was never made avaliable to the general public expensive. I guess it would take an obscene amount of money to get one....
