I am seeing this, i dont think it is just a marketing thing either, i think people are really integrating alot of bmx influence into their riding and need a bike that can handle the mountain as well as the street/park. I am really glad to see the industry start to turn this way. Lots of trave really isnt needed for alot of riding.mandown said:

Why do you say that? Is he an MC guy? If so please PM me.Salami said:Shouldn't he be asking you this question????????
which will be available first ?
i dunno but im paying cold hard cash to whoever finds me one first...caballero said:woaaaaaah..the smaller one (with the fox fork) looks amazing ....
looks like there are a lot of people who are waiting for the mountaincycle or this transition
you mean the 'Type-6'? Last we were told is that now it's just going to be a slimmed down version of the 7point, which is basically a long travel XC bike. Maybe they'll change their minds and give a more aggressive offering.gmac said:

Mountain Cycles has "unofficially" said they are going out of business. One of the MC reps posted on the pinkbike forums that the parent company sold the brand and that they are working behind the scenes trying to restructure the company. They claim to have big things in the works, but not to expect much from them this season.manhattanprjkt83 said:
what? :mumble: :mumble: :mumble:Polandspring88 said:
Are they available with 1 1/8" headtubes as well? Now that would be a big plus, and I know about the reducer cups, it just has a cleaner look if you run a 1.5" fork with a 1.5" headtube, and a 1 1/8" fork with a 1 1/8" headtube. That and there are no 1.5" forks on the market that I could see myself riding.mandown said:
no mfg is gonna make a 1.5 and a 1 1/8 HT option on the same frame. if they dig the 1.5, the use it. that give customers the option to go 1.5 or 1 1/8.Polandspring88 said:
Oh I realize it gives the customer the option to use either 1.5 or 1 1/8, I just don't see that much of a problem with 1 1/8" headtubes to begin with. But enough of that, I won't clog up this thread with 1.5 vs. 1 1/8" arguments, I can see why they did it.mandown said:
don't worry. once you are out of school, the money will flow and so will the bikes. i stuck it out. now i got a job, a car, a grrrlie, some guitars, one bike in the house and one on the way, a place in hollywood... the list goes on. i am the american dream.Polandspring88 said:
Or work your way up. Throw a 5-6 fork on this Soul Cycles Matador to slacken with the 4.5" travel rear. These will come with Fox DHXs, you can run FD, burly & stiff, 16.5" rear, 16" Seattube, the BB will be low enough & the head angle slackened enough to go from 4X duties to Slope.gmac said:
