Well, it looks like its never been ridden, so it could be his. 
nice attention to detail!
Does you bike have the Pike? I've read nothing but amazing things about it - how do you like it? Compared to your old fox?
I love the adjustable travel of the bike!! Never had that before. I haven't spent much time "tuning" it. With the lock out and the minimal bob of the bike with the 5th element at times it almost feels as if I have a rigid frame bike. I'll try to tune the fork some on Friday when I ride alone and let you know after that.jacksonpt said:
There is some lateral movement in the front end of the bike, I can't quite put my finger on it yet. When I go around turne at high speed it almost feels like the whole front end it bending. I'm not sure if it's the wheel or the fork or I'm just losing my mind....
can you list the specs of the bike?

to you pic :devil:Beautiful thing...no shimano in site!
cool... sounds like a great ride. We gotta get together this summer... you and douglas set a date for the stewart ride yet?
maybe in better shape to ride with him... my butt is in terrible shape (not to mention the rest of me). The hard end of winter, then the last month or so of pregnancy (for my wife, not me), and now the baby has put riding on the back burner in a big way. In another week or so, it should be light enough early enough for me to start riding to work a few days a week. That'll get me in shape in a hurry...
What don't you like about them? I just ordered a new SRAM drivetrain and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival!stosh said:

Dude - it's a Rock Shox - it's the fork.stosh said:
-S.S.-
Ah...Sq-Earl keeps trying to get me to go grip shift 'cause he like it and says it's easier.stosh said:
Doubtful. The Pike has 32mm stanctions and a much burlier chassis than previous RockShox. Hell, the Boxxer isn't exactly known as a "flexy" fork either...SkaredShtles said:Dude - it's a Rock Shox - it's the fork.

I have had my pike for about 3 months now and it is solid as a rockstosh said:
