Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

I LIKE IT ALREADY.

I already have a new build up in it's middle stages right now too. That's all I have to say about that. BAHAHA

I really would like to do a Dorado build though, I'm intrigued!

 

I wanna pull the trigger on the ENVE DH bar. I need 800mm in my life. [that's what she said ]

 

yeah people that ride with us are honestly gona do the WTF

but i cant say anything till we lock in the sponsors for the team itll be rad trust me, more rad once you see us riding them, all im gona say is its gona give people that wana DH and not spend 8k on a bike hope that they can still shred, hopefully ride it this season to get my pro license incase i dont qualify by end of the season then next year run a diffrent bike racing pro

and id say do the dorado if you are building a full 8 inch bike if you got the cash for it, and Matt i saw your truck for the longest time everytime i went to my GF's house right bye where she lives and always wounderd who had the sick white Taco with the bike in it all the time hahaha

 

Figured I'd repost this here, looking for storage ideas for my bikes. I have a tiny apartment.

I thought the atlas were the widest damn those must be some wide ass bars

 

do the Enve bar 800mm is pretty legit, plus carbon dampens vibration, hence why bars are a good place for it...or go with the new havoc 35mm its basically a moto bar 35mm clamp diameter instead of the 31.8 most DH bars have and those are 800mm wide and super light. i have a set in my closet im supposed to test ride this week and write a review on ill let you know how the new Easton bars are after, Arts has em in stock too!

 

I've been out of the MTB game for like 7 years up until this year, I've missed a lot!!!! .....and a lot of rust has hit these legs , slowly getting back to shredding maybe be HALF as gnarly as you PRO!!! MAYBE.

That build idea is AWESOME---can't wait to see it dude!

HAHAHA so funny! I guess we were BOTH creeping each other's trucks then, because I was always seeing it parked across the street from your lady's. I figured my cousin knew you so I asked him first because I saw your truck around SLO with bikes in the back. Your truck is niiiice---how you liking Jay's Fox set up?

Don't be a stranger next time you see me out in my driveway, I'll show you my garage queen and maybe get more deets on your skunkworks build up.

 

haha for sure Jay hooks me up so much my truck wouldn't be half as sick if it went for him haha probably at-least 50% of my mods were on his truck that he sold or traded me for bike parts haha, looks like you guys ride alot hit me up anytime i ride everyday maybe we could go do a grade shuttle or i can dust off the trail bike and we can go for a MDO loop just have to rebuild the swing arm im in the proccess or warranting it for some brake issues, got a new swing arm today but they sent me one from a large and it dont fit...but lets ride man think im meeting up with Jay tomarow have a brand new set of XO brakes im selling him ill talk to him about us all riding soon

 

Lucky bastard...

 

haha yah gota make time whether 6AM or night ride, luckly i have a good schedule and have Fri-Sun off and i get off at 5-6 the rest of the days and with all this light i have plenty of time to do a quick hike a bike after work

when the time changes tho, looks like cross-fits gona be my alternative since its right next to my work, have alot of buddies that do it they claim it kicks your ass but gets you in the best shape ever :/

 

Unfortunately, I'm not a pro like you....BUT I feel like I'm sponsored, by my COUSIN!!! Hahaha...i know you know what I'm talking about.

But yeah let's connect for a ride sometime. Get ready to laugh! I'll trail your dust with my goggles on so I trainspot your lines.

 

haha nothing wrong with that i have a few legendary lines on morning glory that are super weird that i take people down as a joke and there always like ! where you guys usualy ride??

 

Now only if I could get my gf to graduate from her Walmart Schwinny to a full susp bike lol....

We usually do Horse Camp trail up to the park bench at the top and back down. Hazards is cool but I like how HC trail is like a condensed version that throws everything at you in a shorter amount of time. I'm usually huffin and puffin after the climb lol. 1x10 power!

 

1x10!!! haha im running a 36t too on my trail bike so it can get rough...but your running a 40 and coil spring haha i dont blame you for huffin n puffin haha

 

Yeahhhh haha had to start with a Renthal 32T ring to train my body on climbs. I should be good for a 34/35T pretty soon, I'm finding myself spinning out on the drops @ top gear.

Thank goodness my Nomad hits the scale at 32.8 - 33lbs right now. Got a few weight weenie changes planned so I can be deeper in the 32.x or even high 31 range.

I've contemplated an Enve carbon wheel build, but maybe I'll allocate those funds for another future build altogether lol.

 

Can't see the whole thing but its a Specialized Pitch comp. Full Susp. Rockshox Sektor RL Coil fork =( pretty sure i cracked the coil or something cause it bottoms out like no other and it never used too. Gonna upgrade to a Fox Float or somethin..Rear suspension is a Rockshox Ario? I'm not one to shuttle but me and buddy shuttled up to Mt. Ashland here in southern oregon, pretty much a full hour + of singletrack all the way to downtown.

 

thats pretty sick! i wish we had longer trails to shuttle. the longest shuttleable trail is like 15 minutes haha

edit: fails for your friday anyone? im sure a lot of you are on pinkbike but for those that arent! haha

damn if you build a DH bike you could tone down the nomad and throw like a 36 and a air shock on it and it would pedal like a dream...yah know my demo is for sale

 

I already have a carbon DH rig, that I barely use.

I'm really enjoying this latest Nomad build to be honest. The way I have it set up with weight, susp, drive train makes it my 'Swiss Army bike' lol. As soon as I added the Push Industries upper link on my DHX RC4 it transformed this bike into a "V10 Jr." on descending. I don't feel any need to invest into another DH build because I'm liking the versatility so much. It's basically my new dh rig that will climb lol.

My next(well, current) build in progress will be geared solely towards XC. I haven't used a front derailleur in YEARS, but I'm excited to get this project finished.

I can honestly say everytime I run across your Demo on CL, I always stop an look at the pictures every single time lol. Someone who knows bikes knows your style of build is best of the best!
