I hate cars. Gas just takes my money away, doesn't help having a '64 Fury with a 318ci V8. Plus ferry tickets to my island are $16. And I lost my machete. I really hope I find my machete soon.

Do you know how much the bike weighs? I thought that Turners were pretty light. I have an M3 and it takes some tricks to make that bike light.

good choice on the mtx rims. i went with them when my wheelset was rebuilt, only with the 8 track stickers instead for extra pimp value

Dude ... that ride is a wet dream. Leave the fork, get the car. If it just sits in your room cuz you ain't got a way to get it to worthy trails, the Monkey Mafia will have to repo it ... and give it to a better home.


The People for the Ethical Treatment of Turners [PETT] have spoken.

The MTX is very light and super strong. The first thing i noticed about them was when i was building the rim how true it was after tensioning, i had to do very little truing of the wheel, just lots of dish.


The bike, i am guessing, weighs about 41 or 42 pounds :think: But i will have to check on that. Should be less once i get the ti spring.

BTW, the bike is kept in my room so it doesnt get stolen out of my garage.
