Looks fast!

Staring? We were riding downhill in sub-freezing temps until december last winter

I approve of your tire choice. FWIW, it might be a good idea to put the pad contact dials on the underside of the master cylinders. That way they won't break off in a crash.

Looks really nice!

 

[S.K.C.]

Green fo' tha money, and Gold fo' tha honeez...

...well - at least you got the Green going on.:biggrin:

So it's an R9 "Shorty" - do you mean this is a custom wheelbase bike, or just a size "Small"???

 

[konabiker]

That thing is looking really nice. I would like to try one for sure.

The R9 comes in 2 sizes: Long or Regular (same thing) and Shorty.

Dope rig by the way.

[seismic]

Great looking bike !

 

[Rye_Bread]

that new x9=hawt

 

[Bicyclist]

I felt some X9 shifters the other day and they're SOOOO much better than the old ones. They feel very similar to X0.

 

[shagwell]

i'm stupid!! sorry!!

 

[mxer338]

looks horrible!! sorry!

nice bike, sprinkles

 

[Lucky7]

I can't get over how good it looks in that green.....I'm drooling

The carbon bar looks like its has some scoring around the brake clamps.

Sweet bike, except for the bars. I hate carbon bars.


edit. Mine lasted a month.

Sweet bike, except for the bars. I hate carbon bars.

The scoring is more or less just scuffing on the clearcoat from sliding the clamps on/off. I have a set on another bike that I rode for 3 seasons that looked far worse. I'm smart about torque specs, and replace them when gouged. Carbon is strong stuff, I have no worries.

 

[J_B]

Very, Very nice.

 

[p.leonardi]

What size chainring is that? How many tooth?

cheers

 

[RPG]

How tall are you and what did you ride previously. Just asking because I'm interested in the R9, but not sure of the sizing. I'm 5'9".

 

[GPERKINS]

WOW nice set up, you got to give us a review on how it rides

 

[basikbiker]

it might be a good idea to put the pad contact dials on the underside of the master cylinders. That way they won't break off in a crash.

i did it to mine, id suggest it, makes for a cleaner look too.

That's "John Deer" tractor green, according to Frank!

Hot bike! I have a shorty too, it's a nice combo of a tight cockpit with a long, stable wheelbase.
