Where the heck do you hear about these bikes?
Titus broke my heart (sorry, long post)
- Thread starter MtnBikerChk
- Start date
The Xprezo bikes are built by a former Balfa guy. Commencals are coming on strong in North America. Bionicons - well I just heard about them via mtbr.com and the SWD via the DH forum here on RM.
I think you should have Alex at bcd build you up a sweet carbon fiber machine to ride the crap out of this year!
goodness knows Alex does build a very huckable 29er too...!!!I think you should have Alex at bcd build you up a sweet carbon fiber machine to ride the crap out of this year!
Fenced I assume? Not everyone has that choice. Even then it can be troublesome. My mother kept her dogs outside in the back yard until she came home one day to find them peppered with BB's. One became quite aggressive towards people walking by after that and she could jump the fence if she put her mind to it.
the only solution in that case is for y'all to move out to the yard and leave the house to your dawg then.DUH!
6' ceder privacy fence of course and there is no foot traffic because this is my back yard.
Well there's your problem.
MBC needs a 575 , IAB needs a Heckler
not without a pirogue anywayAnd I'm sure no one actually walks in your neck of the swamp.
Both super excellent bikes.
hmmm...If IAB is considering an RFX, why not get a Flux or Spot? Colorado Cyclist has size small 06 5 Spot for $1299. Nice deal.
is Turner still working on a 29er Flux?
MBC - if you go for the 575 I highly recommend the raw finish
good information!
IAB would need a Large Turner methinks.
funny man!
How about a Intense 5.5 for the 'Boon.....???
I mean his Quasi-moto is a 6.5" travel frame in long travel mode with a horst link - I'd think he'd want something similar but with an air shock. I'd rank the Quasi-moto over the Heckler if I were doing a head to head comparison of frames -so IMO a Heckler would be a step back for IAB. Just my two cents.
I'm just throwing random thoughts out there right now.
He should definitely test ride some bikes though since he's been riding a bike with an FSR pivot for many many years - so moving to a single pivot might not be the direction to go in.
Those new Iron Horse 6 point series bikes look nice.
Or what about an Ibis Mojo for IAB!!! Although the wait on one of those frames is long isn't it? Still I think the pricing on those is very solid for a really sweet DW linked all mountain frameset in beautiful carbon. although carbon and CT rocks might not be a good mix.
But they sure are hot lookin bikes:
n8, I don't think that the Salsa DD is up to the task of what a 5.5 is capable. Great concept though.
with the explosion in 29er parts and offerings, stronger rims are are their way...
what is Alex using on his downhill 29er these days?
IAB should be quite pleased that a thread about MBC's new Titus turned into a thread all about what bike IAB should get....
I think he should buy MBC's ML.
Well if he keeps the Quasi - he would have a coil sprung bike and then he could get an air sprung bike for long days in the saddle and 24 hour events.
Some of the new "all mountain bikes" are amazing in the fact that they provide 5.5 to 6" of travel and stay in and around (and sometimes under) the 30 pound threshold!
he'd drive over it with his car if I let him! LOL (he's kinda irritated)
good point.
I think They Both need Seven's
my next bike will be a custom road bike
If IAB were to go 29er - this is what I'd recommend for him:
The frame even glows in the dark!
The frame even glows in the dark!
i use just looking for a pic of that Niner bike to post up....
Buying a goddamn new car is easier than buying a new bike.
You staying under 30 even with the Outlaws??That's right!
Glows in the dark! Perfect for 24 hr races , WHy does it glow what is it made from U238
