sorry to say but it true i dont mind it though it looks good but where is that front brake at?

[sirphilby]

yea i took the pics before i could be bothered shoving on the front brake. way too pumped. it is porn considering my last mtb was a giant buffalo SE...

[johnny]

it is porn considering my last mtb was a giant buffalo SE...

But not compared to the common perception of what bike porn may be.

Anyway, it's still a nice bike mate, what kind of riding do you intend to do on it?

[sirphilby]

umm, pretty much anything. ive been using it at the skatepark and a few trails. street, light downhilling, and when i get some dj's built ill use it for that as well. im sorry i probably went overboard calling it porno, it's e very nice bike though. that you have to admit.

[johnny]

That's right mate, if it's porn to you, that's all that matters ;)

Good thing about the bike is that it should be able to handle all those styles of riding and come back for more.

Get into it mate, you'll love it! :)

[sirphilby]

shoved some specs up, thanks johnny thats the kind of messages a bike owner wants to hear!

[j5ive]

comon guys. Just because it isn't a 10/10, doesn't mean its not porn. Not every girl in playboy is perfect. But its all wheels.

[bazza]

hahahaahhaha. maybe this is more like picture than playboy bahhaha. nah its pretty sweet nice parts. needs an e.13 or a mrp mini chain guide ;) ;). than it would be sweet as! but if you like the triple chain rings keep em.

[johnny]

Yeah I agree with Bazza, if it were mine (and I wish it were) I'd probably lose the granny ring at least. But if you're planning on some XC treks you may wish to keep the middle jobby. If dropping the chain when DJing or skate parks, you may like to consider an E.13 (I think the dual ring ones are called DRS maybe?).

PS, can I have your cranks :)

[donthucktoflat]

nice ride.. i like it alot, nice hose routing for the front brake btw:p very inventive

yea i think ill definetly drop the granny ring. it looks crap, is crap and pretty much i hate them. i was thinking of getting an MRP or EVIL/e-13 chainguide for a 40t ring. the thing is the local bike shop isn't very flash and take up the prices a bitt too much (read- try and rip everyone off). so I've got no idea of the price to get something like that. but the chainguide will definetly have to be black. definetly. oh and as much as i'd love to sell my cranks, i wouldn't. theyre just too pretty and strong. ;)

[udi]

nice bike dude, to use your own words, it's goin off like a pedophile at a wiggles concert. bwahaha.

loose the third ring and chuck an e13 bashy on or something if you cant afford a full chainguide, would be sweet then.

how do the forks feel? want to get a rail for myself one day, now if only money grew on trees i'd be set.
