fuck your carbon

I still have fond memories of my mid 90s Trek Y22 reverberating echo chamber.
I assume the bike pictured is steel, but I'll look it up anyway.
Edit: 28 hundred for a domestic steel frame doesn't seem out of line but 58 hundred built does. They get bonus points for clever names like Cog Fight.

It's Boost, so it has to be good.
have you seen the prices of the carbon shit our sponsor site has been testing?
i have been tempted into taking the pitboss for a tuneup...
have you ridden a modern trail bike? a carbon one? (i haven't, my bike is a 6 year old aluminum one most people hate) most of my riding buddies do, though, and they seem to love them.
that pinner looks pretty damn nice.

Does that include a bushing press and a subscription to Bushing Replacment Weekly magazine?
carbon....i will not partake in such witchcraft.
modern....i rode my younger brothers prophet around three years back....but just fucking around his neighborhood.
other than tuning up the pitboss...i've been contemplating ebaying a bunch of shit and building up the splinter in storage...
but this guy tends to be my backup.....

I liked this thread, though I have no idea wtf I am looking at. I see a mountain bike, full suspension, disc brakes, yellow, needs pedals.
Has that thing got steel wheels? 'Cause steel is REAL, yo!
And steel tires. Guaranteed tubeless.
Viszla correct? Any chance of off leash with that guy? Pretty sure my mutt has significant viszla content. He is after any squirrell, dog, cat, human, deer, bird within visual range.carbon....i will not partake in such witchcraft.

2800 seems like a lot when you consider a GG megatrail with the same shock doesn't break $2500.
And it doesn't rely on said shock for lateral rigidity
So this bike IS flexy?
It has all been done before. Every design is a rip-off. Just ask Dave Weagle.
This just in...there is nothing new, and mountain bikes can be really expensive. Sports at 11:00...
Just isn't the best idea to rip-off obsolete designs that have proven to be problematic.

male rhodesian ridgeback on the small side....my brother has taken him to group walks at an abandoned golf course with as many as 15 other RR...he never strays more than 20 feet away....
we have to love our new carbon bikes, we sold our livers on the black market to be able to afford them.
It's $5800 complete...
'After realizing they were incapable of designing/producing a multi-link design, it was decided that a simple single pivot was the ideal configuration for their frames. 'Steel Heckler most likely with brake lock to the suspension. Looks good to me.
After having ridden many steel and alu bikes, and currently owning a carbon xc and dh bike and a alu trail bike, i have come to the conclusion that "fuck your steel".
Looks like a fun bike tho, enjoy!

oh....not mine.....i was scrolling through the pics of nahbs and saw that....me likey it.
Hand built, really farging expensive bikes. First world problem if ever there was one...situation exacerbated by the ad in the top right of the page with Oprahs picture. WTF Lizard overlords? Oprah? Please...
