[00:31] lovebunny (sd, ca): hello there. i am a bicycle enthusiast who is interested in buying a new all terrain bicycle. i mostly ride on downhill trails and i am tired of the hassle of shifting. do you have a full suspension bicycle in the works for purchase in the near future?
[00:32] DirtPile26: i think we should make a thread with this whole thing
[00:32] DirtPile26:
[00:32] DirtPile26: too good

[00:33] DirtPile26: that bar shape looks wierd
[00:33] DirtPile26: what should I call it?
[00:34] lovebunny (sd, ca): i dunno

 

[cannondalejunky]

those commericals crack me up..."i never know what gear to shift to"...so lame yet so funny

 

[maxyedor]

I't full suspension, meening it has a sus. fork and sus. seatpost.

But if you order online you do get a free upgrade to "alloy pedal crank arms" all for only "4 easy pays of $174,95" because the word payments is just to long for that special offer.

 

[lovebunny]

hahahaha

 

[dogwonder]

If only this thread was posted sooner...I would order one and take it to Mount Snow this weekend...

[cannondalejunky]

Bhahahahahahahahhahahahhaha

 

[Tenchiro]

[dante]

30 day money back guarantee, return it in any condition.



personal favorite is when the "landrider" beats the roadie up the hill since the roadie is trying to shift and almost falls off his bike. ink:

 

[Mudpuppy]

I had one of those for a while.

I had the old model that had 3 ~5lb weights that slid on the spokes to move the derailleur and shift. The thing was actually ok once I took all that off and made it single speed. My aunt bought it at an auction for 25 cents and gave it to me so I had something to ride in between my Cannondale and my Surly.

The bike did ok, to stave off the biking withdrawls, but I have to say having a bike that shifts itself is horrible. The bike will shift whenever you start pedaling hard to accelarate and then you get all the same horribleness that happens when you are mashing on the pedals and shifting at the same time. It basically only works if you ride slow on flat bike paths. Downshifting unexpectedly while you're trying to make it up a hill = not good!

Now a Trikke 8.....that I'd like to try............https://www.asseenontvnetwork.com/vcc/tristar/trikke/171430/
