Sometimes I run a disc rotor and no front brake cuz I only have 1 front wheel and 2 bikes... Maybe it's something like that.

I hate when I'm riding my HT and people come up and say stuff like "Why do you run a rotor with no brake? Are you trying to be cool?" It makes me angry and gives me a strong urge to punch them in their face.

Edit: I really like the looks of that Stiffy SL on the previous page...

There ain't nowt better than a DMR spesh one in action.
This is my lil baby, was riding a fully but do'nt have the coin to get new chains, deraileur hangers etc etc and race, so back to the trusty DMR, and on go the RST XXL forks, running magura on rear (thats non disk), yes it is a bottle cage, I did tail end charlie for a XC race the week before, plus it was hot and i didn't ahve my camelbak with me so i needed water at the top of the hill for the mandatory long wait, ANd a set of full old school XTR cranks (from second generation so plenty old but super strong), Clips for racing, flats for fun

Chainstays are set at 15.7 in this pic, has a Z1 MCR, and 2.3 Gazzy freeride tires (which measure bigger actually, the tires are pretty nice). This frame also rocks the Evil guide, Profiles, Stealth hubs, SRAM drivetrain, and FSA skypilot. Titec post, Funn seat, and prototype Evil Stem on board too.
Is that before or after I killed it?

Actually I have less back pain with a longer travel fork, (who knew?) and the more "retarded" geometry allows me to do more "retarded" things...

Try a hardtail with a big fork sometime, you know what they say:

"Once you go retarded, your old bike's discarded!":rolleyes:

I've seen that pic on here before, I think it's the "obnoxious for obnoxious sake" thing with the paint job, (punk!) and the Iron Horse decal on a Spooky, well that's just funny.
