Lets see you xc bikes
- Thread starter dhmatt
- Start date
That's a nice "ONE", hehe.here's mine,
leaning toward the trail/all mountain side of XC.
Canfields live pretty close to me. I see them once in a while out riding DH or jumping. super cool dudes. They make some awesome stuff. I drool over the Jedi's all the time.
Nice bikes, I love the older enduro's
latest iteration as of today:
don't be sad! she has a nice life! and gets ridden multiple times a week
Nice bike.
Here's my Felt-- Nine Pro 29'er with RS Reba and full Deore XT Group on a nice sunny day on Potato mtn. after ascending 17 twisty miles (and 1000+ vertical meters) of S. Cali singletrack; now for the ride down.... 
I'm fresh to riding a month ago, we haven't had any work for almost a year(carpenter), but found out how cool the biking community is
. Mostly donated parts from my buddies and their friends put together my Giant Rainier(thanks guys

Got this built up a month or 2 ago to replace my old trailbike:
Love it, stoked to ride XC/trails again. Just hope the rear triangle holds out.
Changed the pedals to Acids, and have a wider handlebar on the way, bike is super fun to ride, and climbs like none other(I'm a dw-link believer now)

My old frame, loved that bike, need to order a new one.
Yeah!!! Knee is feeling better finally, haven't been able to get out again yet and I'm really jonesing for a ride.
here's my current setup... '09 Stumpjumper
Some nice background shots here...
Gary Fisher HiFi Plus
02 Turner XCE. Old and well used, but it still works.
my new ride
^^^How do you like that bike? I was looking at Diamond back bikes a few seasons ago. i heard that the rear end can sometimes be a bit flexy. I'm a little on the heavier side, (213 neked, probably 228ish with gear) and was wondering if i'd feel it at all.
Built my wife this up for $700
08 Kona four
XTR cranks BB and chainrings
Avid Juicy seven brakes
FSA OS 70mm stem and XC bars
Schwalbe nobby nics
Rockshox ario shok
Fox vanilla r125
PG990 cassette
and more, built out at 28lbs... So pretty happy considering its a coil fork and heavy wheelset as well as saddle and pedals ... So could shave 2-3 lbs easy but then it would be closer to the $1k mark LOL... Budget build..

just picked up this frame, used the parts of my old hardtale. Needs a chain guide and a proper posts then I'll be set. (Bar already swapped for lower/wider RF Atlas)
my soon to be XC bike..... if the POS TRIAD worked i would be out riding it now but it failed so no riding... and im bored outta my F*&KIN MIND !!! 
will be 28lbs or so once done.... have a SC SHIVER coming, and set of CRANK BROTHER IODINE rims on the way...
supposedly my YETI ASX frame is sold but awaiting payment..

Well after smashing into tiny tiny bits 2 X0 rear mechs in 2 rides over 2 weeks I gave up and single speeded the Cove.
Just had my first leg killing ride on the beast from the shore today.
Great fun, but man I'm needing to get a lot fitter!!

how do you like that bike? I had a hard time when the big mama was on sale, super good deal and it looked like a nice bike, but I wasn't ready to shell out the big bucks nor switch to 29ers yet.just picked up this frame, used the parts of my old hardtale. Needs a chain guide and a proper posts then I'll be set. (Bar already swapped for lower/wider RF Atlas)
The trio.
Nice - be sure to post up a ride report/review in the 29er forum.I just picked this up today. i can't wait to ride it tomorrow. Pretty friggin stoked. My first 29er.
Yeti sponsored rider or just a bit Yeti fan?The trio.
So far it's treating me well. But I really only have two rides on it so far. It's a neat frame. Seems well built with big beefy welds. Rear post mount is a nice feature.
Tracks well, it's stiffer side to side then I would have expected for a xc bike. Handling is good, nice and nimble.
Might need a slightly longer stem to aid in the climbing, I feel a bit to far over the back right now but that might be the off set post. Will know for sure when my Thomson gets in.
I'll post of up a proper review in a few weeks once I get some more time on it with some proper parts.
so far so good. it's more comfortable than my old IH Hollowpoint. not sure on how flexy the rear is, i haven't been able to tell yet plus with the rear suspension it'll make it a bit harder. i'm at about 215 and it's fine. i'm still messing with the suspension. the fox is new to me so i'll be playing with that for a bit but i like it. i was going to go for a Pivot but i got this as a shop employee purchase and it was a no brainer as far as price goes.
