She feels a little less like a truck with a single crown and lighter tires, quite flickable.
Keep posting em!

I've had a few hardtails in the past and somehow always ended up parting them for fullies, but almost immediately regretted it! hardtails are so much fun, what are you building up? DC can be fun to ride hardtails when not too many ppl are holding protests.
Yet to arrive: Maxxis Larsen TTs 2.35, Thomson seatpost, E 13 STS
i use to have a morphine with almost that exact same setup though i had a 24" in the back. its a really good bike but i always had a problem with the rear wheel moving back toward the end of the dropout on the disc side. you have to have a bolt on rear hub to run 8" rotors on it. that actually ended up being one of the reason i sold the bike. now i regret that desicion and now i'm building anther FR hardtail
I wanna play...
okay short bus that orange is deffinatly one hella statement man. looks awsome man, and with the 66 up front that just completes the badass paint man.
Finished building it today.
2006 Cove Stiffee FR RAD
Yes I know that's a dual crown fork on there, no I don't want to do X-ups
That's what I had laying around in the storage locker -- until I can get a good deal on a Fox 36 TALAS RC2

Damn...forgot about this thread...
Here's the latest HT:
It'll eventually be SS and dual 24's, but I already had the wheels and I don't know what ratio I want to run...

such an old thread.
209 Pages!!!! Wow!
yes it an old thread but still a great thread. it shows that you do not need an 8" front and rear bike to have a ton of fun on the slopes
good thread, here's a few of mine i have had over the years. the surly was built in 01, back when burly ht's weren't a big thing.
have to find a pic of the surly, i am curently riding the white dmr, and am building a B1 ht with a dorado sc.
Bumpage for a classic thread:
good to see that this thread is still kicking and screaming to say alive. hardtail bike forever. not that sus. bike are bad hardtails are just better. much more versatile and so little down time in comparisons
Mine is not that burly but it does the job

So did you figure out what to get yet? I recommend the Gimp. ;-)
Warped when you have a classic you have a classic. i loove my burly hardtails i started with a fully then got a hardtail and rode it for like 2 years then desided to try a fully and that lasted about a year and now i'm back in a hardtail agian
finally got my general screw-around hardtail done, got a bunch of help from ABS on Mission and Hank and Franks in Oakland.
I bought this bike used two weeks ago, and after waiting for a part to come in, it's ready to go. It'll go for its first freeride session next Saturday on some local trails...
Mlody, how's the Boxxer working for you on that bike? I'm going to keep riding my bike as-is for a while, but I'm thinking about putting a Boxxer on, since one of the 7" pre-2004(?) ones would give me another inch of travel while only raising the front end by about 6mm.
It worked nice, I used that bike for DH and I liked how it rode. Front end felt good, it wasn't too high. I had that bike for a couple of months (in 2005) before I bought fully.

Definitely FR only it would seem with that Free Radical. Pretty slack! But also pretty cool and very burly!
