View Full Version : Christian's "tiger" patterned Da Bomb XLR8...with
Christian is a non-farkiner but he wants comments on his bike. He thinks it's the ants pants with his new "hot shot" forks, but people said that the DNM upside downs are piss weak. Give your honest opinion on the frame, forks etc even if you think it's crud. Oh, and the rims are "Velocity" rims, not Dee Max.

Depends.. If hes doing dh on it and cant aford a decent dh frame than I guess this does about the best job it could for the money. If your riding street they are just going to piss you off and get in the way.

Those forks were selling for $349 at bikepro at the start of the year. The single crown version was $199. I know TWO people that have snapped that fork three quarters of the way around the casting of the fork. Cant be a good sign, so i wouldnt say AT ALL that those forks are the "bees knees".
Frame is wicked, with a nice paint job. Pitty you have such high forks on it voiding warrenty and making it look ugly. Parts spec is OK.
All in all, change the forks and you have something reasonable to ride.
349 for dnm duel clowns :shock: cant be good

HAHAHAHA! That's a crack up mate!!!
I rode a set of those forks a while ago, and I was quite surprised by how smooth they were. Not *the* best thing out there, but vastly underrated IMO.
hey dude, xlr8 pride i got the camo one yours is 2003 isnt it?
i think it looks pretty cool, what kind of specs are you running?
any suggestions or forks that go well on the xlr8?

ahaha i know a guy that baught those forks at 'sale' price for $1000. lol. btw rexy stop getting attention! there is no way you could quad post without knowing!
Maybe a bigger fork? I hear 888's are quite large.
Bah, better than a bike with no fork.

I'll agree. I don't like anything on it at all. Horrid colour scheme too. What drugs is he on?
BTW, quad post, fucken brilliant! I'm not going to delete the extra's, as that's a mighty effort.

Stop boosting post count. retards.
and i like the bike, im a fan of dc's on a ht, but i think the frame has to be fatter than an xlr8 to look any good i.e. gus

1. Ditch the red cranks first. Get them painted black to match the black spots on the bike then re-install.
2. Them get some guards for the lowers of those USD forks. Give you that moto look.
3. Then ditch the red chainstay protector for a black one. Same reason as above.
Once the atx frame is gone, parallax's P3 chopper will be raring to go!! DC-HT PRIDE!!!
btw: Rik. How does it feel to know that kids will post shit five times in succession in the hope of getting your approval? Maybe your fan-club and Squids bitches can have a battle royale.
