I wanted to see what all the hype was over this Bullit, so I picked up a new used one from smedford (thanks man). all black and pretty stealth, this bike RULES! I still need black grips and handlebars, but here it is.

drive side:


non-drive:


cockpit (huh huh):


comin at ya:


so I de-virginized it last night at the WHartford Res, hitting a drop that I'd been lookin at for a while now:

this bike is so cool. I planned on keeping my FSR just in case I didn't like it, but think I can safely let it go now.

Tony - sweet bike and great job on those drops!

I remember you going up to that drop when we last rode the Res. and from the looks of your pics you nailed it perfectly!!!

How much travel and what size is your old frame? ;) :)

I do not know of these places
Ninham is in Carmel, NY and Blue Mtn is in Peekskill. I've been to Ninham a few times and had a blast, but not Blue Mtn yet. Someone had recommended it.

You look pretty damned good on that Bullit - way to rock that drop too......did you just roll up and off it? Gimme the scoop.

middle/2, pedaled toward it, had a bit of speed and let instinct take over. after the first one, I did like 8 laps on it - it was so smooth.

MMcG: I was wondering the same thing!

tonyhawk: my man has a bullit and :love:s it! He's got quite the set-up and still manages to climb everything (then proceeds to rip back down it, droppin' everything that he can find). Glad you liked it!

I'd love to be able to progress enough this year to hit that one....and a little more squish would be nice to have to try it with. But you have now laid down the gauntlet IAB so I have my work cut out for me. :D :devil: :D

98% sure (I have committment problems). Shoot for 6, as I'll most likely have some parking-lot-bike-maintenance to do. My headset seems to come loose a lot, so I ordered up an Azonic Headlock online. with next day shipping, it gets here faster than going to the lbs :rolleyes:

Hmmm..........Belair or Snipes for me......methinks Belair. :)
