Sweet!
Cant wait to get mine! everyone is posting pictures of there's and I am still waiting! I think the catalogue/Mongoose released photos never did the bike any justice they look heaps better in user taken photos!
Nice ride EC DH Pride!

It's a nice bike. I actually had a chance to ride Eric Carter's bike at a local race, and it felt incredible. The team I'm part of is actually going to be riding the Mongoose next season...

Wow. That looks super clean. As profaine pointed out, Mongoose's catalogue pics don't do it justice.

Great saddle choice too! It looks mint.

I can't for the life of me work out how that rear end works though. The BB is suspended too, yeah?

[Demo Dave]

Nice ride wayno. Have to see how fast it goes at the next club race.

[Lowrider#1]

Not a bad spec btw,

Haha I was the first person to reply! I must admit I love the look of the seat, seat collar and the chainstay protector (and the rest of the bike of course!). Can I ask, how far have you dropped the crowns (if at all)? or is it just the smaller stem? my crowns are only a few mm's from the top of the stanchions! I am assuming by dropping the front end down a little more the bike gets into corners even better then before!
I am currently in the process of getting new springs for both the front and back, which will make the bike even better!
Nice ride!
