Nice ride Demo! It looks like a pretty long wheelbase.
Thanks Craig! I'm not too sure about the wheelbase....haven't measured, but then again I have never measured any other bike I have owned. :busted:

Ha ha.....thats the only question I still have for this bike.....is it gonna hold up to the fact that I weigh a lot and that I ride like a HACK!

As far as the other bike....can't be too happy right now. Its in a bunch of pieces laying on the garage floor. I'm hoping to have the Bottlerocket back together by the end of the week so I can start finding a new home for it.

Damn Dave!!!! Very nice bike. Did you let the Bottlerocket leave the stable? We have to hook up and ride with you fella's soon. We have stuff to show you guys out this way. Did just over 19miles on the bike all at Wilsons last weekend! Maybe we can come out your way this Sunday????? Any plans yet?

Nice bike Demo.... What does it weigh in at? I still think you have a lot of weight in those wheels. You dont weigh that much (using me as a comparison) and you are smooth.

In comparison
right at 30lbs

Lovin the new ride Dave, they have the same Geo as the Enduro, which I have a lot of time on and they just plain rip as an AM/light FR rig. I'm tryin to convince my boss to carry some Pitches in the shop this next model year.

That would be cool! But I was actually gonna contact you guys to see about Wilson's this Saturday.......its been a while and I need a FIX! But we could definitely do Sunday at Paris too.......let me know.

Nice bike Demo.... What does it weigh in at? I still think you have a lot of weight in those wheels.
Not sure what it weighs yet, but definitely less than the BR. I have a tubeless set up I need to put on that bike to lighten up the wheels....just haven't done it yet.

BTW Robby........where have you been on the weekly rides lately? I'm not sure if you have heard yet, but your room at my house is going to be turned into a nursery in a few months! Sorry bro, but I'm gonna have to kick you over to the bonus room to sleep on the "crutons" ha ha!

Here is a progression shot for the "picture nazis"

I SUCK lately. I havent been out of the office before 6:30 or so in about a month. In addition I am on the road for basically the next 3 weeks (including weekends). HOPEFULLY, right after that though I am taking vacation in addition to never working past 5pm M-T and 3pm on Fridays at least for a few months!

Nice Dave! Who took that shot? That's bad to the bone! :thumb:

I'm not sure exactly? I found it off of a link in the Virginia forum. I believe it was someone's wife/girlfriend who took a bunch of shots of everyone. I was glad to find some "evidence" of me hitting it. :biggrin: So I definitely thank her!!

She took this one too, but it turned out blurry.

Well he's not ripping like Noah............yet! But I'm definitely stoked that at 4 1/2 years old he is riding pretty confidently without the training wheels. Here are a couple of shots from yesterdays session:

hey Dave...what size are those wheels? My 4 year old just had me yank her training wheels off alst week & took some passes ont he gravel to get a feel. Then mom went pedaling by her & she tried to bridge up to her like Robbie McEwen. It was on a slight downhill & I had the seat but she ripped it right out my hands, accelerated like points were up for grabs & flew down the drive, off into the grass & a wipeout. She flopped on her back and said...that was AWESOME!!! :cupidarrow::cupidarrow:

But she made me put the training wheels back on the next day. :D

i picked this up for my daughters the other week. it seems to work ok for my youngest by my 5 yr old doesn't like it a lot (i'm pretty sure the 3 yr old will be riding on her own before the 5yr old)
