im trying to get some idea's on which one to get cause my fisher advance ist going to last forever with my bigself on it

id like to urban/FR/trail ride this bike so its got to be an all arounder if possible

 

[Total Heckler]

Santa Cruz Chameleon. Love it.

 

[offtheedge]

has really been a great all around-er

 

[bjanga]

A bit slacker than most of the other bikes we will see in this thread:

Older Cove Stiffee FR...

Here's mine.

I'm looking for a new one now due to the snapping of the part where the seatstays join.

In the new bike I want:
-chromoly
-To be able do to anything (DH,street,DJ,XC)
-It will probably have a pike (95-140), so I want the HA to be kind of in the middle.
-6lbs. or less
-13" BB at most
-21-22" TT.

I'm looking at the Evil DOC right now. It might be a little slack, but I need to ride some other bikes to see how that would feel.

Badass bike... My next bike will definitely be a Transition.

I just got a chameleon and I love it. I can't remember having this much fun on a bike since I was 15. I'm more of a light FR/ somewhat xc rider and I was able to build it up for my tastes.

That thing looks nice.

 

[Mudpuppy]

Here's what I ride.

 

[PatBranch]

What is it? It looks fun to ride.

 

[dirtydirtysouf]

.....light FR/ somewhat xc rider....

yea thats what im looking to do with mine, but weighing 280# means i need a strong frame to just stand upto 1-2' drops

 

[BussaFrame]

Here is my Ridge. I apoligize for the pic quality. Oh and the seatpost is telescoping. It's a maverick speedball before anyone tries to give me a hard time.

The Boxxer has been sold and replaced with a Super T and DJ2 (depending on my mood).

 

[urbaindk]

Mine:

SoulCycles Titan. Good all around trail bike.

 

[narlus]

Z1 on front:

Posted these already in the HT vs FS thread... but what the hell:

i like this sluggo, what was the frame price if i can ask?

 

[Slugman]

I'm not sure what they will be retailing for... but I suspect it will be less than $500. I got a hook up from their now defunked Scrap or Scab (forget the name) sponsorship... the one for non-racers.

I'm VERY happy with it.

EDIT - It's geometery is almost the same as my Titan,which is my favorite bike. Personally for all around use, I'd get a titan again... but for big stuff; I like the through axel and 1.5 headtube.

I think they still have last years titans (like jdschall's) for about $200. Mine's a '04 that has seen a lot of abuse, and still going strong!

i cant find shat on thier site...............

 

[bjanga]

Yeah, the website is poo. They were supposed to release info about the Sluggo more than a month ago.

 

[PatBranch]

Does anyone around SB or SLO have a regular size evil DOC that they would let me just roll around on to see how they feel. I like them, but i'm not sure what they feel like.

Peyto with a Pike Team. Gravity Dropper 4" post, Thomson stem, Easton bar. King HS, Juicy-5 brakes, King rear hub, Hope front. Race Face BB/cranks. SRAM drivetrain bits, M-545 pedals. Now has a WTB seat on, and a different bashguard than in these pics.

My do it all ride. Long high country epics, local xc stuff, some light urban/jump stuff, it's even done a few days at Keystone. The GD post really makes it nice. Head angle with the Pike at 140mm is 69 degrees. 28# as shown here. I still ride this about 2/3 of the time, though the fully is getting ridden more and more.

Last Tuesday, I tossed my spare fork (Z-150) with an 8" rotor on for a day at Keystone, with some DH tires front and rear. Slower than the guys on the big fully bikes, (and not hitting all the same lines) but it sure is damn fun and challenging to see just how fast/how much I can ride on this up there. The replacement rear shock for the fully should be here next Tuesday for next time up there.

well here is my current urban/XC/FR peddel to work bike

sweeeeet...love the peyto stuff...

That Peyto is just killer. Everytime I see it I think that you found one helluva diamond in the rough when you found that frame available!

Yep! That's pretty much what I think about it, too.

[bballboy388]

[cannondalejunky]

[dirtydirtysouf]

you seriously raced dh on that? and lived?

 

[SD_TMTB]

nice, the more i see those the more i want one. I guess im a pretty smooth rider on my HT....but the old P bike has been beat up a lot so.....

hows it ride?

 

[oscerthegrouch]

It's a great ride its the smallest feeling bike that I have ever ridden. The front end just wants to pop up and it feels great in trails to.

 

[SD_TMTB]

yea, I just compared the geo and the top tube is just the right amont longer, and it seems like the right fit.

are you riding the short or long and how tall are you....if I may ask.
