oh no, he actually rides his bianchi when it's messy outside! seriously, he better wait for street sweepers or something, that dirt is just, disgusting. what's wrong with using all that stuff on a fat possum, have you not heard of a mini dh bike? it doesn't look half bad really, is there something wrong with building a bike up for multiple purposes?And apparently he uses his Bianchi as a "light mountain bike"...judging by the mud.
P.S. I think it became expensive rather than extensive when he put the XTR RD, XT cranks, King headset, DHX coil, and MTX wheels on a fat possum...ick.
What's in your stable at the start of 2008?

Heaven forbid someone else on the board use a AM bike for a mini DH bike.And apparently he uses his Bianchi as a "light mountain bike"...judging by the mud.

Kind of the same thing right?
There's nothing wrong with a little mud on the Pista. I still think the MTXs are probably overkill, but I'm over it. It's not my bike, and I really don't care.And apparently he uses his Bianchi as a "light mountain bike"...judging by the mud.

Relax guys.
Merely expressing my opinion on the frame, and how I'd personally save my money for a new frame before changing those parts. Not like he has to listen to me, as trailfreak pointed out...I just bought an AM bike I'll be using for light DH as a "mini-DH" bike as well and many would consider that crazy. Just giving him a hard time.
Whatever I suppose, to each his own.

Here's my illustrious 2008 stable:
The DH rig
The FR rig
The AM/XC/Street/DJ/4x/road/commuter/beachcruiser/bar-hopper (if I did that sort of thing)/faxmachine rig
I need more money......

You may need money, but you sure don't need any more zip ties on that bike. They holding it together?? Where's the duct tape?
Nice tea pot.
It's invisible.
The brakes that came with it (shimano something or others) came with steel cables. I'm not a huge fan of scratching what remaining pain is left on the frame, nor putting huge gouges in my fork
lthumbsdown:So, to recap:
zip-ties: Bag of 20 for one dollar
new brake lines: some amount more than a dollar.
Problem solved!
Dvo1, ya need a teapot? I can sell it to you... real cheap....
it corners like a dream and rips the rocks
This is my Ghost Northshore.
damn a demo 8 and a yeti 303, why?
p.s im not questioning your decision im just asking what you use the demo for when you have the 303 and vice versa
its actually an older demo 9 (2005) its more of a backup bike. i ususally use the yeti when its rockier and the demo 9 for just riding around. although i will race it depending on course. i have the 303 super soft and fast and the demo 9 is a little stiffer for drops and jumps. since the demo 9 isnt a "race" bike i find it harder to plow rocks but the 303 seems to just accel like crazy. more of a course thing i guess
