It's not too bad, but componentry is pretty horrible, and my fork is bent out, sideways, basically mutilated after doing a few nosedives on hucks etc. Oh well you get what you pay for. I paid like us$150, and bag me all you want, but i've had a lot more than that in terms of fun out of the bike, before it gave up on me. Now its dead and im painfully saving up for an 04 speshy bighit comp. If its too hard, I plan on going for a cheaper hardcore hardtail. The bighit costs us$2000. I know its a better bike, but err, not exactly cheap thrills eh...

I also have a half built Halo dr jekyll but I pinched loads of the parts for my coyote after I crashed it snapping my collor bone into 3 bits and vowed never to do dirt jumping again

Its running 7" monster T's (not sure what year they are), a 24x2.5" rear/26x2.5" front wheel setup, tube cro-mo BMX cranks, 32t ring with a rockring, 7 speed setup with a exage 300ex roadie shortcage on a STX/SE rear hub, magura hydro rim brake rear, hayes front. Also got 2.5" azonics, 40mm stem, pedals are wellgo BMX platforms with replaceable studs. The frame itself is 4130 cro-mo, with a wraparound headtube gusset, and horizontal dropouts, 13" BB height (and BMX BB shell), 13" seattube and 23" top tube. Its painted flat black. It suits me and the terrain here well.

Mavic wheels, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. Hubs, shift, and hollowpoint cranks are Deore. Bontrager seatpost and handlebars. I had her built up for XC, but she's fun for DH, too once in a while. 2. Cool retro cruiser for when I need to slow down and smell the roses. (Don't know or care what kind it is, something made in China) 3. Univega Alpina hardtail (well, it has a suspended seatpost, but it might as well be a hardtail) Its got Shimano everything, but no seat. Thinking of making it a townie.

That poll is a little confusing because it says "soft-tail" and "full suspension" which are the same thing. MTB: 2002 Gary Fisher Mt. Tam_29. As in 29" tires (the wheels are actually 700c). It rolls fast (once you get it up to speed) and climbs really well. XT/XTR (rear-der.), Marzocchi MXR 29" fork, and Bontrager everything else (Bontrager Race wheelset). Oh yeah, and I have IRC Mythos ti(y)res on as well. Road: 2002 Orbea Altec 2 frame - full Ultegra, carbon fork, Shimano R540 wheelset, Michelin rubber. Commuter: Bianchi San Remo (ca. 198?) steel frame w/ a hodge podge of older road and mountain components (RSX, 105, XT, STX, R600, and old shimano road stuff). A Mavic MA40 wheel on the rear and who knows what the hell that thing on the front is? WTB Allterrainasaurus (700x40) on the front and a Conti Twister (700x35) on the rear JMc __________________ Don't go making snow cones at your local dog park. You will surely regret it.
