Verdict:
- the Gemini is bloody awesome! I probably need a weaker spring so if your looking at buying one, make sure you can get your right spring size, cause I'm having trouble getting mine! i'll prob end up hopefully getting one from US especially made..but we'll see!
- Boxxer world cups are super plush! soo soo much better than my old race!
- e13 are quite and have neva de-railed bloody nice...
- chase is fully sick! i had all the spec before, just got frame and xt cranks of mike turns 2nd hand!
- overall the chase didnt cost that much!
- e13 from US is $150AUS :wink: i got it for chase
- Jekyll is really nice! a heaps good bike...you can just get out there are ride...you dont need to worry about anything..itz pretty strong, I have done a fair bit of trail riding on it! and itz soo much fun! i also race XC and find it good enough! it makes XC rides FUN :shock: though if i were only racing i would have got a hardtail

ooh well hope you like em! I do 8)

Thanks to Bike Addiction for sorting me out! :wink: i hope i'm allowed to say that :? well tell me if i'm not!

[Daver]

All your bikes are really bad... :P

[Archi]

Amen to that . you really have to see the gemini in the flesh:D

Jono, your bikes are awesome!!!!!

[Tomas]

Hahahh except the WC's when they are cold ehh jono :wink: . The gemini is a pimp mobile. It pedals like it has a few inches front and back and it weighs less than my hardtail :evil: . Maby once he learns to run proper pedals i might be able to properly ride the thing.

[intense jonoooo]

hey shudup! clips are good for downhill!!!! :evil:

least my DH duallie weighs LESS than your norco hardtail!! :twisted: ha

[dylma]

omg, i have just witnessed the garage i want to rob (nah, jokes, im too young for that stuff :D )

they are some of the sickest bikes, i dont have as much interest in the jekyl, but the chase and gemini are soo sweet. i love the bikes.

another cool thing, the gemini has cedric gracia's signature on it (and its in gold too!!!!!!!!)

[Tomas]

Ohh yeah, gota have some of that sasquatch pride. It would sound soo much better if the name wasnt soo awful :wink: .

[jays_5000]

Wow! very nice indeed!!

One thing though... You really should get your Ci-deck timer set underneath the bar somewhere. First major stack on it and it will be toast!

[LTR]

It is not possible to deliver drugs and have several bikes worth upto 20k! :shock:

Regardless of who paid for the bikes, very nice collection 8)

[intense jonoooo]

Wow! very nice indeed!!

nah..cause my time is zip tied to the frame....and wobbles a bit....but is still firm...so if you crash it just slides out of the way! and then bouces back haahah....

my invention that i meant to do :roll:

[peachy]

Woah dude very pimpalistic, i like u're collection... *someone has a cannondale fetish* But who wouldn't eh? They make great bikes.

I dig the jekyl, very nice bike - But the chase is the one thing that catches my eye. Very sexy and stealthy looking. I reckon the 02 z1's looks hella sexy on it, the older z1's were real nice.

Wheres cedrics sig on the gemini? How'd u manage to get that?

[Daver]

The gold model comes with a sticker with Gracias signature on it... :wink:

The running joke is that his DH bike must be signed by Cedric, because his old Stinky had one from the Ride day ages ago... :wink:

[naz]

fucken drug dealer. bet you run half the north shore to afford those bikes.
madd bikes man.

[intense jonoooo]

fucken drug dealer.

:P :roll: :wink: maybe...

thanks away! i might take it up! :wink:

[johnny]

Arrghlglglll, dribble, drool :!: :!: :!:

Gimme gimme gimme. I have had my Chase for three months now and I FARKIN LOVE IT!!! When I deliver more of MY drugs to MY customers (dear Mr. police officer, this is a joke and one in very bad taste at that. If you raid my house, all that you will find is some out of date baroccas and detol. Don't waste your time :) ) I will pick myself up a gemini too.

Keep your Jekyl tho, my Felt does just fine.

[Spoolin]

Man thats just pathetic, what do you need those for......

I think you should give them to me :roll: LOL

Fat, Love the Chase. :D

[n00b]

Can you say brandwhore?
Seriously im very jealous, very nice rides....

[mtb_man]

Like everyone else has said, very nice bunch of rigs you have there. Can't really find anything i dislike about any of your bikes...

Bah! I'd have any of them in a second :)

Just need a cannondale motocross bike to add to the collection.

[ridemotocross]

whoa, it looks like i have some stealing to do!!!

very nice set of bikes, can't wait to ride em

[mike&nat]

shit nice bikes. are you sponserd by cannondale?

[scottie2069]

im just so surprised how u've mangaed to get the weights of the bike, mainly the gemini dh down to 17kgs. Thats very very light without a Ti spring and tubless

[shorty]

Sweet stable of bikes you have there....very impressive Gemini i must say....to top it off, an e-13 reducer cup with an internal headset to bring the stack height down and it would be an even wicked-er rig!

[Gripper]

Something about the Gem that just makes it look so comfortable to ride....even on general trails.
So is it "trailridable" :?: [color=darkblue]

[intense jonoooo]

im just so surprised how u've mangaed to get the weights of the bike, mainly the gemini dh down to 17kgs. Thats very very light without a Ti spring and tubless

the frames are super, super light!!!! and the wheels are fair light!!! :wink: so i dunno...

[Rexy]

ooh i love youre bikes dude, are you like me and run your hands over the beautiful welds on cannondales, they are sooo nice!
so whats it like jumping off a dually onto a ht?, and how light is that gemini, my xc bike is like 12!, you could almost put a triple ring on and trailride it!

[_J_]

SHIT! :shock: You are the Cannondale MAN!!! Must love 'em aye??
Nice, loven' the Chase!!

[intense jonoooo]

are you like me and run your hands over the beautiful welds on cannondales, they are sooo nice!

yes, yes...you could say that! :P the frames are farking nice...and welds are awesome!!

[riderigid]

the chase looks like it has a tiny little dint in the downtube in the first picture.
all very sweet looking plants you have there.
haha, they are a very sext threesome there. also, why only a front brake for the chase?

[mtbmx]

you are the luckiest man alive , i dont usually like xc bikes but that jekly excuse spelling looks soo MAD

[intense jonoooo]

the chase looks like it has a tiny little dint in the downtube in the first picture.

also, why only a front brake for the chase?

1stly: the chase frame looks like it has being dented in that foto..but it hasnt..itz the frame at the top of the tubing itz fatter and then it get skinner...at one point... so thatz where it looks like itz dented...but it isnt 8)

2ndly: i have a back brake for it now! the same, xt 6" hydro! i just hadnt put it on....in the foto! cause i needed it to be bleed....and all! :wink:

hope that clears anything up... :idea:

[Gripper]

What did you pay for your Gemini DH here in Oz medium frame wasn't it?
Did you have to wait long after placing your order?

[intense jonoooo]

um...my LBS have the Gemini DH frame in stock! itz $4000 rrp, I dont know exactly wat I paided for it in the end, cause I got the bike built up; and then got an overall discount! which was fair big!!!

it doesnt seem to hard to get the gemini DH frames in..cause like my LBS has another one in, so shouldnt be to hard! :?

[Gripper]

my LBS have the Gemini DH frame in stock! itz $4000 rrp,
The US RRP IS$1999(including tax state tax etc) which converted at todays rate is around $2950.
Surely someone is havin a go at someone here.(not you man, the system)
No Cannondale frame is worth $4000AUS.

but bikes are fairly expensive in AUS so you cant expect much! :? personally when you compare it to a bullit or something..like frames! i would go a gemini! they are farking awesome!!! maybe a bit of $$$$$ but remember whats the most importnat thing on the bike?? the frame! who cares if u have x0 or x.7, they shift! what really matters is like the frame, forks, brakes (in my opion) so thats why i spent a bit more $$$ on those things! and lacked spending $$$ in the rear mech.... :P

[Gripper]

but bikes are fairly expensive in AUS so you cant expect much!

True. I guess it comes down to personal preference.
Just....for me....if I was going to lay that much down on a DH frame I'd go and spend a few more $'s on a SantaCruz V10 (not new 05 model yuk!)
I know that this comparo may seem like chalk V's cheese but we are talking about both being true DH frames.
I love Cannondales but not enough to justify $4000 on a frame that is a little diff from their normal freeride frames.
Just the same love your Gem very much!

ye...thatz cool..everyone has their own opions! i was thinking of a v10! but then i was like....weight, and do i need that much travel! cause i'm like 58kg....so fair light! and now with these 6way swingers, you can sort them out...so they are soft as, at the first part of travel! and then hardern up through to the bottom out! :wink: :!: :!: or wateva....and also the weight! i wanted something light to throw around on the DH tracks and all! and it has cedric's signature on it! lol... :D but nah..the v10 is awesome! just not the bike for me! if i was bigger, and heavier and my lbs stocked them, i would get one!

[Daver]

personally when you compare it to a bullit or something..like frames! i would go a gemini! they are farking awesome!!!

i guess to each there own, but a bullit is almost half the cost of a gemini dh frame....
