New Bike Day!

Oh, I’m keeping the Anthem! But this is def a big bike.

 

@kingaucho it looks great! Enjoy it! If you’re open to a tip, regularly check the bladder pressure on the shock. It’s known to lose some pressure and it can make your rear suspension inconsistent. It’s a lame issue with the Topaz, but other than that I think it’s a great shock for the bike!

 

Reallllllly Nice Congrats!!!

Good on Ya and FB!

 

Congrats!! That's a rad bike. I LOVED the DVO Topaz rear shock when I ran it on my Tracer. And my Diamond fork was as good as any (save for my beloved Marzocchi). I predict you are going to love that Ripmo - it's sick AF!

 

Hey Shawn!
Yes recently I got the Ripmo and I've noticed overall speed verses downhill speed. Trails like T nA verses say Old Emerald... the Ripmo is faster on the gnarlier vs Pivot 429 trail which is faster climber and faster even on some less gnarlier trails.... however the fun factor on the downhill with the more cush must be considered.... now when I hit gnar, my teeth don't fly off!
last week I went upto the main divide to do motorway via maple and the ripmo was fine climbing but by the time I got to motorway, I was so beat from heat and elevation, that 0n motorway .. I took it way easy... and slow.. to see that it was PR... its nice to keep your teeth!

 

Well, not new bike, but new frame day. I know it’s a gravel frame, but it’s from a mountain bike company so it should qualify to be here. I sold the Niner RLT frame to pick this up. Titanium gravel frame with a little bit of MTB geometry tossed in. I’ll post a better picture when I finish the build.

You're a restless soul... aren't yah?

 

You're pushing the thread criteria here, Paul. Good thing for the titanium clause... SWEET!!!!!!!

 

LOL, yep, I tend to turn bikes every 18-24 months. The DV9 was the exception to that since I just couldn't get it to be a SS without a tensioner. I think the Ripmo is coming up on it's second birthday next month, but I don't see that bike going anywhere anytime soon.........

 

@pperrelle is like the Winchester widow up in San Jose where she just kept spending money on the Winchester house to keep evil spirits away. Paul has nearly unlimited funds so keeps cycling thru bikes and home improvements on a house that 98% of America would kill for in stock form.

 

dont sell anymore b4 i get down there for my demo day... keep adding is ok...lol

 

I might of ordered a thing yesterday....

Let the speculation begin!

 

Trance... And color matching spandex kit.

Or that single speed you’ve been working on for the last couple years.

 

A new goldfish?
Beenie baby off eBay?
Thighmaster?
Oh man the speculation is endless!!

 

That was really good ad copy, I like reading it. Seem like there were really real and forthright about the process and intent behind it.

 

Video was good too!

 

Hmm, doublewide...

 

If it had Maxxis tires on it I would say this for sure.

 

Hello Family !!
Glad to post here once again...
Here I present to all of you .....
My NeW bIkE !!!!
Need to dial the squishy parts a little later on the week

 

WOW, she's a beauty!!!

 

Awesome and congrats @jaime! That YT looks badass!

 

Heck yeah congrats @jaime... Wow what a fantastic looking rig and I love that she gets to come inside the house. Seems to me like things are going in a good direction for you and I’m happy to see that bud...

 

@jaime, you are the absolute best dad, thinking of your daughter and setting her up with a bike she can grow into!

Live uncaged, indeed. I didn't see this one coming, but I'm stoked for ya. Where ya holding up at, still down south? I'll be in SoCal for a spell, let's ride.

 

Wow, that white frame looks GOOD! Congrats!

They don't assemble the bikes for you when it's a pick-up order?

 

YAY!!!!! No motor.

Welcome back to the fray.

 

Thank you all of guys for liking my post @Voodoo Tom @UPSed @SnakeCharmer
@mike I'll love to mike but not quite that fit yet to ride with you man !

@mtnbikej never !

@Sasquatch9billion they charge $69 if you want it assembled, but I only put the handlebars and screw the RD and put in the wheels.. and those $69 I spent them on some "smashburguers" close to the YT mill omg those burgers are the shizzle !! I envy you guys in OC for having those burguers close to you !

 

I’m late to the party!

Welcome back... You were missed. Bike looks great, too.
