In my opinion, most wanted bikes for 2010. So what would be your choice and why?
Intense 951 vs. Evil revolt vs. DW DHR
- Thread starter brian field
- Start date
who cares, this is like girls locker room bull****, its a bike. ride it, have fun. its so functionally irrelevant its not even funny.
Same, the Intense looks the best. It just looks less complicated and more simpler than the other 2, which in my personal opinion is what i like.
What's the point of this pool? You don't seem like you want to buy it so do we all have to do yaay, naay for the frames we like? Especialy that you listed only 3 out of many interesting frames that will be released soon.
BTW. Last time i checked Evil was still to be released in 09.

for ridemonkey dreamers? id say the dw dhr
in real life? the new giant, look at how popular the old ones are, good suspension design, good spec and incredible price

ridemonkey is based on the girls locker room bull****, it is so huge right now , that downhill forum on ridemonkey should be called collectors lounge of weightweenie dh rigs , so i don't see a problem in posting threads like these...
:evil revolt:
polls like this are useful mainly for indicating who rides a bike, and who just posts internet drivel that amounts to a fantasy life revolving around daydreams about owning a particular bike.
Which one are you?
irate2:Can I do both simultaneously ?
let's see... I don't have 10,268 posts so that means... what?Which one are you?
I come here to read good info on DH not some 14-year-old kid's fantasy about what bike he'd build if his daddy was the CEO of Widgetron Inc.
this thread falls into the latter category, not the former. I realize that a lot of people who post regularly are e-riders who build and photograph bikes more than they actually ride bikes. I realize that. I'd just prefer to see those poseurs in a thread devoted to fantasies, wishes, dreams, hopes. it's a lot like the threads where people talk about how a bike will ride based on its photograph... or worse, where people talk about suspension design based on a bike "looking like" another bike.
I know. I ask for too much.

After being gone from the sport for 4 long years (not by choice), i'm picking up a new DH ride for 2009.
it gonna be a tough decision between the Intense 951, Evil Revolt, Trek Session 88
my fork will be a Dorado though

Every time I read a post where someone says "that bike looks just like xyz brand's xyz bike" I want to punch my computer. And yeah, Pinkbike is full of 14 year olds and Ridemonkey is full of e-riders who build and photograph bikes more than they actually ride... cough....(resists urge to name names).... cough...
What ever Sam Hill rides.
Sheesh, who gives a crap about how much someone rides, or e-rides? Aren't we posting here because we like bikes?
The list of names would probably be 4 pages long!
Don't lie to yourself. You know that people e-ride bikes are better than people who e-build them and that the numer of posts is inversly proportional to your riding
Also both those gangs fight each other and after a certain number of posts there is a high probablity you will get shot in a drive-by. Usualy performed by a unknown monkey that is still allowed to ride due to small post count I thought this was a good poll and confirms my suspicion that people will buy a bike that looks amazing over one that has engineering superiority. (which is debatable but I'm keeping this simple) ...not saying I'm above that either... just like the rest of you whores I would rather have a great looking bike than one that may have a better method of moving the rear wheel up and down. Engineers take note.
