The One That Got Away (thank God)

I always liked the look of those XT cranks. Had a set myself. The frame somehow reminds me of a Specy Hardrock or a Kona though.
And in retrospect, yes, but also vice-versa...AFAIK the Pitboss was one of the earlier burly/freeride/whatever hardtails out there and many frames of other makes followed on. It most looks like a Cove to me, with the big squared RAD headtube junction...
Soon?
Soon indeed.
Soon to be soonish.
Not long at all considering how long I've been waiting.
I would love a size 18” Ti Fat Chance someday for cruising around/gravel-ish rides.
Same. Saw one in the wild once. I had just eaten shit on a steep wet rocky Rooty section when some dude just hauled ass through the section on one. As a noob on a bike with geometry better suited for an ejection seat and an elastomer fork I assumed it was all because of that bike.
I work on one. It is a harsh ride. Very unforgiving. The RS SID TI fork is still running well. Nobody could have predicted that. We call it the Mullet as it is party in the front and business out back.
I honestly would just be riding around camp or to the post office or a taco joint on it.
FUNK actually made a short travel version of the Bow Tie, designed for La Ruta De Los Conquistadores race in Costa Rica. I would totally rock one of those, I wanted a FUNK elevated chainstay number so bad in the early ‘90’s.
I think my old friend Charlie stil had one of those.
Haro Extreme...I had one, thought it was the coolest thing ever. Done up w/ XT drivetrain, Cooks cranks, American Classic hubs on ACS rims, Anzas and Hyperlite bars...spent way too much $$ trying to make it cool, all it was was really, really heavy...
ooh, pretty blue one too!
Holy shit... that takes me back.
