The old goofy outdated Dh thread.

That marin rocks!!! YOu could even shave like 12 pounds off of it by taking off all the lizard skins!
This is where we start reminiscing about Giant ATX 9x0 series, and Specialized FSR bikes, both running a 4" long travel linkage... Marzocchi Z1, or RST Mozo if you were poor, for a 4" long travel fork (too long for a hardtail)
Ahh, those were the days, budget DH in Australia.
And, can't help but post this bike... :heart:

can you say bigest chain ring EVER
97 gt lts DH, incredible. I wanted (still want, rather) a 96 era DH frame. Stupid light, titanium links, and 5 inches of super high qual rocksux suspension. Simply amazing.Rik said:

i can remember wanted a giant Axt 990 with the long travel kit so bad. That with a z1 fork was my dreambike for a while. I always loved the straight six, but I don't consider it outdated. GT RTS, there was a cooker. I think the san andreas qualifies but isn't completely out of the running yet. Oh man, I love the good old days....FOES LTS/Weasel....with the kuster shock...the kestrel RUbicon DH with two shocks...OMFG....
Theres a guy who races dual at sandhill on one of thoes old foes
I dream of owning an STS LTS, has to be the sexiest curves on a bike, it's pure art... I'd hang it on my wall and stare at it for hours :love:Sandwich said:
had one, didn't ride as well as it looked. Mine was a 98, the year with the carbon wrap headtube, and the last year for the LTS design, IIRC
Ooh, Ooh, I had that same Outland with a Hannebrink. Man that was the sh!t. I remember how much better that was than the 3" AMP with a Mag21 I rode in DH before.Sandwich said:
here is is a little piece of history.

Yeah, that was a cool bike. Still a competitive frame in terms of travel, quality and design, though a bit old.mack said:
Is that a pic of an M3 proto above me? Why?
Hes showing the old M1 and how it has proresed into the M3
had pretty horrendous brake jack apparently... hell, my 2001 tomac almost belongs in this threadmack said:
no, hes showing us a goofy very very early prototype of an Intense VPP designTheMontashu said:
ViolentVolante said:
bingo. not clever enough to show the relationship. the m3 is a new bike. but that thing is ugly and even though it's not a a tioga disk (not disk brakes) wheel or that really chunky trek or a triple crown 4inch fork, it's still fun to look at.
i believe that dorado is pre-production too.

Was it the Outlander? I saw one for sale on Pinkbike a few weeks ago and thought it would be the coolest antique-trailesque bike to have, unfortunately I dont have the money. (It would match my 04 V-10 or kinda have a cool thing goin with it I guess)mack said:
the original vpp was the outland..the one i posted is *slightly* updated
