I like the new frames, but not as much as the old ones. Just for looks. And I'm pretty sure my frame w/ shock weighs 8 something. I also have a Joplen seat post for it and Smallblock 8s. Weight in pic....35 lbs.

my banshee wildcard has the same amount of travel and weights right under 35lbs...go banshee.

and if youre going to post a new ride with a title like "its ok to be jealous"...expect to get these posts as results

and that shock does look waaayyyyyyy too small for that frame and amount of travel

Man I didn't mean to start a hate war, I'm sure that bike is fun as sh!t and its all about what works for you best, so if its your dream bike rad! I got nothing against specialized, and their bikes ride great for most people, they're just not for me. Enjoy it dude, hope its super fun

Hey now, dont throw me into this! I didnt have anything against the bike I was giving you sh!t as a former lewiston cronie!
As far as intense they have phenominal warranty and Canfield definently takes care of their owners!
Personally I like the bike and Id drop a load of weight off it but I think the new spec stuff is OK!
Not going to flame you! LMAO!
ANd as far as AVYs go they rock! :cheers:
your still kool travis i wasnt directing anything tworad you ive ridden your bike a little, and its pretty much butter. i was just tryin to stoke the fire. hahaha

I will formally petition admin to ban gratuitous pinkbike Avy pimping, especially b/c we all know why it is really so much better than, well, anything. It's just got more of them.

My own world inside my head
I just looked at the weight, I didnt notice that before, that is quite heavy for what it is, My blindside weighs 43, and I have plenty of room to shave weight, IE remove the slime tubes which have at least 6 oz each, get a ti spring ETC.


Someone else already said it, if you title like you did, and its not a phenom of a bike, expect to get a little flame action going on. enjoy, ride fast, as you break stuff, put the bike on a diet





Hey by chance did you weight the frame WITHOUT the shock and post? Also, how about a parts breakdown

avy! Avy! Avy! Avy! Avy!

Its an Old school avy cult thing! :rockout:

BTW! Avy pimpin was a avy cult thing derived right here in good ol ridemonkey by another coining it that!
Back in the day if anyone mentioned "shock" the Avy cult was all over it like roaches on a pizza! Darn I miss the good ol days!
