New Bike Day!

That's pretty...

 

Pretty Sweet!!

 

Soooo, what prompted the move to a Tallboy?

 

I beat him up the hill on my Megatower...




(Well, I doubt that was the catalyst, but I like to think that the world revolves around me, so....)

 

He likes 'em tall.

 

I wanted a short travel 29'er. My goal is to spend more time in the saddle, the mini DH bike just wasn't cutting it. I'm trying to stop the fatness from creeping in! After talking and riding with my buddy Mautner, SC sales rep, he suggested the Tallboy. It's really the only bike he's been riding for a year. He's a good rider, we have a similar riding style, so I trusted him, so far so good! Just try to get the squishy bits figured out....

But in all reality, @herzalot hit the nail on the head and so did @Grego Plus I wanted to be a Santa Cruz Kool Kid!

 

My money's on him going downhill... even on the Tallboy.

 

I'd love to see this shootout. Well, at least the outcome.

 

Sadly, I'm not fast anymore.

But we would've had that answer if @herzalot had been racing in the Expert class instead of Sport....

 

You were already a Super-Cool Kid as you are.

 

There was one race when all classes ran the same lame course - the time all three Athertons were there, along with Danny MacAskill. Gee beat me by 33 seconds and you probably beat me by about 15 or 20, I would guess.

MacAskill broke his collar bone on a two-foot drop. Rachie was already injured and didn't race.

 

That's the smart money...

 

Hopefully the freewheel kits come back in stock soon, so we can avoid the coaster brake

 

It's a beauty!

Looking forwards to the return of demo days so I can try one out!

 

Almost there...

 

New to me.
Been wanting a hardtail
for a while. Finally pulled
the trigger.
First ride today, tons of fun!

 

Awesome.

oh yeah.....

Nice one, Big Clyde!

I can honestly say that I'd never sell mine... It might see some changes here and there, but it's just too good of an all-arounder. Three and a half years, and it still does everything...

 

Sah-weet!
I never thought I would ever ride a hardtail again. Haven’t for nearly 25 years, but having a blast on the DV9!
Enjoy!

 

Don't let Mike fool ya, he's put some E miles in as well.
Welcome to the Tallboy club. I love mine, so fast and capable.

 

Great photo^^^

 

She’s not quite done yet, but should be ready to rock n roll by the weekend

 

Oh damn Charles! Can’t wait to see that beaut in person!

 

I’m all giddy like school girl :-D

We need to ride again soon!

 

Yazzzzzzzz! Sweet bike.

 

Someone discovered broad city...I concur with both.

 

I'm like Dayuuum Daniel!!!!! Congrats!

I had not seen the updated 5010. Yikes, kind of ugly and bulky looking.

 

The first comment is so perfect: "The bike of the year for 2020 is...... backordered till late 2021."
