42", nothing like a nice high CG for nailing hucks to flat.
Whats up with the rear derailleur? Is that normal on a DH bike? I am no downhiller, but methinks it is a bit jacked up...
Dip**** put a longer than stock shock on it, and didn't lengthen the chain to compensate despite the increased chainstay length.
"included but not pictured: trip to hospital"
angrymetalsmith should appreciate this one:

Oh, and Jack...White Duck Taco is in the building above where your studio used to be. Beer and tacos and no need to leave a tip out your back door. If only you'd stayed broke in Asheville another 5 years, all your dreams would have come true.

I was in a band called more gnar.
I always wanted a cheeta proline DS. I thought it would be rad as hell with 24" doublewides.
i've got the hardtail version
THAT's what it is! Damn, that was killing me. There were a few on here back in the day that were built up nice.
Cheetah Prowler. Rawr.
complete with a nearly 16" bb height
And White Bros DH-3 fork?
I powdercoated one of those back in the day, but never got to see the DH in person.
something like that
i'm pretty sure the prowler was the DH bike, no?
I forget, one was the slalom, one was the DH. I liked the look of the slalom.
no, i remember now.
they had a f/s slalom bike, the prowler was a single pivot freeride ish bike, then they had the proline which was their dh race bike
proline:
prowler:

The prowler DS was probably just a prowler with a short shock, but I've only seen a few anywhere ever...
the prowler was actually its own frame, closer in size and geometry to their DS hardtail - i believe they referred to it as the prowler DS. it was i think a 4" bike while the regular prowler was 7"
Oh SNAP! Wow, I feel old. At least I remember something now. Was the hardtail a prowler, too then? I forget...no, i remember now.

Or 9" if you get that sweet one off CL.

the hardtail was just called the "dual slalom". i have one sitting in my garage.
Forever ago there was one for sale on MTBR with some funky Judy dual crown fork or something. I ended up with an Azonic DS1 with dual 24" wheels and a Stratos FR4 fork.
That bike was awesome.
the DS hardtail was the one mountain bike that they got the geometry right. it's still a pretty rad bike, even by today's standards. although it wasn't without it's issues. the rear disc brake mount was rotated too far counter clockwise (if you're looking at the non drive side). because it has horizontal dropouts, that meant you had to take the brake caliper off to remove the rear wheel. also the rear end on mine was welded ever so slightly out of alignmentForever ago there was one for sale on MTBR with some funky Judy dual crown fork or something. I ended up with an Azonic DS1 with dual 24" wheels and a Stratos FR4 fork.
the geometry on the prowler freeride was pretty atrocious. the proline supposedly had much better geometry but was super flexy. so few of the prowler ds frames existed i never met anyone that rode one. so out of all the mtb frames they made, the ds hardtail was the only one they got (mostly) right, which i'm guessing is because they were primarily a bmx race company.

doubtful... cheeta was a socal company (i believe) and started off as a bmx company
I knew that....doesn't mean it wasn't sold to some company in Denmark. Same name, same type of bike offering, etc.
no. cheeta vs cheetah.
why the hell does Google turn up absolutely nothing for "Cheeta bikes"?
???? because they went kerplunk in 1999?
Don't you have some Airborne frames to hock or something?
i got mine in like... 2001? 2002 at the latest (it was when i was still in high school and i graduated 2002).
I got my Azonic DS1 in 2000, I think. I think Cheeta was around until '02ish.
looks like someone tried to ride it down the trails at cobb or pinnacle hill
I hate how any godawful piece of sh!t is "ratrod"
