[Gaz85]

[Jordy]

michelin man size ?

[CHEWY]

no, were talking ride4fun sized...

[cam-o]

Depends how fat your ass is and how big the things you throw your ass off are:)
Seriously, a DHR will hold up just as well as anything else (if not better) and I believe if the worst does happen the folks at Turner are pretty good on the warranty front.

I know they hold up to my 110 kilos... even when i was repeatedly casing an 8 foot drop :wink:

[Rik]

Will the DHRs geometry be what you want though, for "Freeride" stuff?

i dont normally use the freeride term but by it i mean just ridin around and drops and my trip to canada next year

[Gaz85]

ok i thought this bike was kick arse bike that could hold up to anything, i mean we are talking $4500 just for the frame.

$4500 isn't THAT bad (relatively), Intenses were over $6k and Foes are over $7k.

noone said it wasn't...
just that the geometry of the frame is completely DH oriented and may not be the best buy if you are going to do more "freeriding" than racing DH

[Gaz85]

farkin......i think i need to start saving now so that i will be able to buy one before i get too old.

"freeriding" is uBEr MAdCore

well a orange 223 isnt designed for freeride and look at all the guys ridin them at the red bull ride last year so it doesnt realy matter

223 was peatys custom bike made by orange. there were only 2 of them and he owned both. id rather have a 222 to FR on. because of peatys tall build orange made the swingarm longer, the mainframe longer and the seat tube higher. on top of this he had thinner wall main tubes and swingarm because he is so smooth. 222 would be much stronger and nimble IMO

[cam-o]

Because he was so smooth or because he didn't give a stuff if they snapped after a couple o months? Longevity isn't really a big deal when you are on a factory ride.

[ride4fun]

dhd only $3800? you distribute them what do you think? do u have a large blue one?

[toodles]

$4500 isn't THAT bad (relatively), Intenses were over $6k and Foes are over $7k.

Off topic but anyone know what a 223 costs?

On topic - Turners are built very tough. Very nice bikes, I doubt you'd have a problem with it.

That there is a Turner DHR, piloted by Hucker and sailing over a 57 foot gap on the Gold Coast. Strong bike? I do believe it is :)

[ride4fun]

OMG!! i live somewhere near that. does anyone know where it is? they changed the frame design and it looks less sexy now
