Hey,

Thought i'd post up my new bike. I was looking for a bike (preferably dually) that could ride XC but handle abuse. I ended up with this beauty. I picked it up for $480 and changed the stem, bars and rear wheel which i already had.

Frame: Handmade trek liquid 20
Fork: RS psylo
Wheels: Rear 729 on dt onyx and Front bontrager tubless on generic qr hub.
Gearing: XT derialeur with lx shifters
Crankset: Bontrager square taper.
Stem: Thomson elite
Bars: generic OS
Brakes: Hayes mag

Will hopefully be upgrading this bike as i go. And the pedals will we swapped out or painted ASAP.

Steve-0I love that trail your bike is sitting in front of, it so sweet and once you finish that one, you go straight across the fire road (I think) and get onto another flowy one, they are sweet as trails.

As far as your bike goes...

$480 DOLLARS! :eek:

That is one sweet as ride for $480, that is one hell of a deal.

Have fun mate! :D
