These are, aparently, gonna be treks new DH and Dirt bikes - enjoy
Hit with the ugly stick?
- Thread starter scottishmark
- Start date
the hardtail doesn't look that bad but the dh looks like an xc rig....kinda like they were designed to be carbon but they made em out of aluminum....meh i'd check em out if i got the chance
Those bikes are so ugly, they look like a target for a Pacific Cycle takeover!
Well, somebody had to give KHS a running in the eyesore contest.
Too bad any urban/dj rider that rides a Trek will get beat up quicker than he can throw a whip.Inclag said:

Good thing all the norco bikes already have that, or Trek might be considered to be innovative.
Presenting the Bat-bike.
That hardtail is retarded unless it has really really thin tubing. Then it will just be retarded stiff. Why overbuild a stiff aluminum bike to make it strong when they could just as easily make a steel frame, with a traditional double diamond design, that would be equally strong, but ride smoother, weigh less, and cost less? I wonder how strong that thing is, how harsh it rides, and how heavy it is.
what are the bolts for on the hard tail? looks like an adjustable rear end.
If i was batman and i rode a bike, i would choose the hardtail 
it looks like the things that they sell at wal mart that are supposed to look like dirtbikes.
on the other hand, the downhill bike looks like it would be pretty light.

yeah, way not core enough for the erbon fashion showstiksandstones said:
those are gross
Isnt that the Gary Fisher logo(GF) on the rear end of the hardtail
Chris Duncan was riding that hardtail around at Sea Otter, so it could be a Fisher (or it could be a Trek, what's the difference right?). It was pretty funny seeing him try to look cool sitting on that thing.
unlike something not as funny, like you trying to look cool sitting on your bikeOGRipper said:
Ridemonkey just might be the snobiest bike site on the internet....
You guys crack me up. I guess we should all just ride the same bikes and piss on anything that's different? Don't get me wrong, those certainly aren't the most astetically pleasing bikes, but damn, ease up a bit, they are only "proto-types" after all. Sheesh.... (Too much negativity in the world)
Oh, hey, and DHS, ever seen the e2e for the shock on a Foes Fly?

Oh believe me Z, there are few things funnier than me trying to look cool, on a bike or otherwise.zedro said:unlike something not as funny, like you trying to look cool sitting on your bike
It was an observation of Duncan's self-conciousness, not a judgment. You had to see it. It's also funny that when he was riding the jumps later on, he was not riding that special machine. Fact is he looked like he couldn't wait to get off it. Whatever, more power to him - personally I would ride just about anything if I could get paid for it. But I'm a sleezy 'ho.
Wow. Since you are one of the most frequent contributors, that's saying something. Doing your part much? :eviltonguzedro said:Ridemonkey just might be the snobiest bike site on the internet....
neaky:
That bike is fugly like zedros mullet.
heh, dont worry, i was talking lightly, although Ridemonkey does indeed suffer from brand-snobism a bit. Does't mean you nor I necessarily fall into that catagory thoOGRipper said:Wow. Since you are one of the most frequent contributors, that's saying something. Doing your part much? :eviltongu
zedro has a mullet haha
arrg...no, its all pure e-speculation....i'm 100% punk-rawk biatches....cove rider said:
Ooooh, one point for the Kadvizzle. But I keep hearing it's not a mullet...The Kadvang said:
[EDIT: See? He beat me to it!]
No prob Zed, I can be snobbish about asserting my anti-snobbishism.
I still don't understand why a bike supposedly built (in part) for grinds and other chainstay-bashing behavior has those nancy-boy chain stays. Maybe they just look tiny compared to those seat stays. I guess we'll have to wait for the press release for an explanation...
they look replacable actually, maybe they arent even aluminum?OGRipper said:
That rear dropout looks replacable, but everything else seems to have huge beads of weld running down it. I'm particularly fond of the air intakes And I'd be if it came in Rootbeer, it would rawk!
The DH looks flexy

o so zedro doesnt have a mullet why do people say you do then?
not people, Frasier said i did, despite the claimed timeframe where we never even met in person yet....he musta been puffing his cheeks up and holding his breath again hallucinating....cove rider said:
i think ChrisRobin can vouch for my non-mulletness
Damn...just when I thought they were getting going in the right direction with the sesssion...Those seriously fugly.
Zedro is mulletless.
I can see Trek making cosmetic revisions to those bikes. Amongst all those engineers and designers over at Trek HQ, at least ONE of them must have a sense of what looks decent...hopefully.

glad we got that straightened out thanks. zedro could still be cool even if he did have a mullet
Man, I still think they had something going when in 2003 or 04 they had this killer looking Diesel with the shock going through the seat tube: 10" travel, single pivot with a pulley system.Monkeybidnezz said:
