A few years ago I said I would never buy a hardtail, but damn this thread! You guys are making me spend money. Soon I will be able to put a pic up of my new HT.

Nice bikes!

NICE ride. I love the minuteman frames...but wish they came with vertical drops. Love the Shiver, too...that's what's going on my HT when it gets here.

Is there any difference between the Doubletrack and the Intense rim? Welds vs pins, etc? Where can you get doubletracks besides OEM?

Thanks. It would be nice to have a vertical dropout option. Oh well, I run a bolt on axle so my wheel stays on tightly.

The Shiver runs really well. It's the best single crown fork I've ever ridden. I never thought a fork could make so much difference. It makes the bike feel so nimble and quick.

There are diffs between the Doubletrack and Intense Mag 30. The Doubletrack is a pinned rim where as the Mag30 is a welded rim. In terms of durability, I honestly can't tell the difference.

In Vancouver Canada, DoubleTracks are very common and available as a non OEM part at almost any bike store.

The most elegant bikes in this thread so far are that independent fabrication one and the blue on one's.




Here's mine that I just finished building last week. I'm very cheap, so I dug up the best deal I could. I got all this brand new for $740.

one of the three keys of real estate
It's a 6" Junior T. I absolutely hated it at first, but it's really grown on me. I have recovered my bunnyhops to their full height and only nosedived off a few drops before I got used to the extra weight. As shown it weighs in at a slightly hefty 34.75 pounds. I had it built with a Manitou Black and some XC tires and it weighed 31.25 pounds, but I quickly lunched the internals on that fork (after one goddamn day of riding I destroyed the dampers so it was just unrestricted motion) and the XC tires had no grip on wallrides, so they had to go. This thing is fantastic! After I got it I cancelled the DH bike I had on order, just because I couldn't see riding it after this. So much fun! It's not really trail-ride-able, but for urban, park, and even some SSHTDH I am very, very happy. Pedal grinds, sprocket stalls, disasters, wallrides, general havoc, this is wonderful.

Yeah, you should be glad your bike weighs 34.5 with jnrs, I had a 24-7 with 5" jnrs which weighed over 40 and my gimp as it is now weighs around 40.
