Thread sanitized.

To the whiners: Sorry, it isn't another "how can I save 3grams on my sunday?" thread.
To the new guy: You may not want to go posting stock freeride bikes in the Dh forum, as this is typical behaviour you will get. Also, we use punctuation here and spell check, it will go a long way to not getting you flamed.

Damn, the M3, DHR, and Sunday are all really nice.

Any way you could snap a side view of the Sunday for us Eren? Pretty please?

Holy freakin' crap. If you don't like the guy's bike, close the window. There doesn't have to be anything "special" about it - it's special enough that he likes it and wants to ride it.

You know what made this thread "Pinkbike-ish"? The morons like the one who posts, in response to a perfectly fine picture of a bike, an aggressive and demeaning attack.

Special for this thread: the next demeaning comment I see will get a 7 day ban, no warnings. This is your warning. There now, don't you guys feel special?

Post away, whether your bike is worth $1k or 5k.

well said, no matter how much u've spend on your bike. The main purpose is to have fun on your bike. I love my M3 as much as my decent-low cost setup hardtail, as both of them gives me different kinda feel and flow.

I have not taken a recent picture of the bike so I decided to take a quick shot. I am hoping to change a few things before the season gets going. New seatpost, new fork, new handelbar, and new drivetrain, wish I had the money for a new shock.



This will be the first time I have ridden the same frame for two seasons:twitch:

I am going to.........somewhat explain this. He's my younger brother (10 years younger) who is in the 10th grade but spells like he is in the 5th grade. I get on him all the time about his spelling but you can see nothing changes. So if he gets flamed for it then so be it.

Sweetimzack........please learn to shrink the pictures a little bit. I am the one who took them (so sue me I left my digital camera on larger file sizes) but shrinking is easy. Open it up in photo viewer and go to edit/resize, and tell it 50%. Click the disk to save in the upper left corner. That way it's not so giant. Not everyone wants to see my gimp garage door at high-resolution.

It's a nice bike. Pedals well. We found out off my mistake that the fork can hold 175psi in it. I pumped it up early in the morning and later in the day went to push it down and it was rock solid. I was thinking it was never that stiff for me. When I went to check the pressure it was up to 175psi. So we fixed that, all is better now.

Someone besides me needs to talk some sense into him though. He "thinks" he needs a chain-guide and new cranks. He's on a slim budget, has nothing wrong with the current ones, and has never lost a chain. I've been trying to get him to see that until things break/bend OR you have a problem then fix it. As it is right now the bike must have added 7-9lbs from the upgrades. At some point you can't make a 5" travel bike perform like a 9" travel bike.

I'll get some updated pics of my whips as well after work. I mean the fork/wheels were off my old build so I guess it's time for some updates :)
