OC Downhill MTBers

Thinking of picking up a 2009 iron horse 7 point. It's a nice build too. CK headset, hope wheelset, RS Totem fork, carbon bars. He's looking to get $1500-1600 for it. It's been sitting in the garage for awhile.

Anyone have experience with this bike?

 

Too much, got my 2014 glory for that price. Wait for deals bro

 

i agree. for an 09 that is def a lot of asking price... unless it has been ridden one time.

 

Still man thats too antiquated and tech wise it aint worth it. If u want ill sell u my glory for that price at the end of the season. I can swap out some parts to lower the price down lol.

 

oh i totally agree. bikes got so aggressive recently. thats what i was trying to bring up last week. pony up for the newer stuff if possible. id even take a slightly more beat up newer bike than a prestine "classic"

btw dax, already over the glory? been loving mine ever since i put the 888's on.

 

Nah man, im going to go on an extended vaycay need to extra cash. Plus i want to keep all my bikes 650b. Easier to swap parts that way. I love the glory, can handle everything including my lack of skill lol.

 

I'm looking more into an all mountain bike. I don't really ride too much of the hard DH trails. So looking for something that has the ability to ride some of the harder DH trails but something I can still climb with. The iron horse seems pretty aggressive and with the DW link it has the ability to climb. But my preference would be to find a nice uzzi.

 

Interested in a fully built mach 6? Hehehe its dwlink, 28lbs and has a climb switch on the dbair climbs like a big goat lol

 

28lbs? thats 10lbs lighter than my current bike. lol. whats front and rear travel on that bike?

 

160 both. Can be a pita climbing on the switchbacks like at santiago oaks but if you take ur time its all good. Rear has endless traction if set up correctly, fox float in front so ya cant lower it for climbing but hey it rips the dh.

 

super nice bike. but way out of my budget. Must be nice to have a designated trail bike and DH. lol

 

in my honest opinion, ANY bike has the ability to climb............ the heavier and less geared setups will always be more of a problem. from the sounds of it, you def wanna get something like what DAX mentioned.... light with a fair amount of travel and a lot of gears to help you get UP.

 

Yep but honestly an am fully built can handle dh trails. The dude that won angelfire yesterday was on a yeti sb6 and fontana is being dominated by trail bikes.

 

Built my am bike this way for dh purposes but then stumbled to the glory. To good of a deal to pass up lol.

 

I have a friend that built his glory as a trail bike. 38lbs or so with 32front and 42 jn the back, he climbs faster than me lol. But then again he was a 101st airborne and beast of a legs.

 

haha thats nuts. anything is possible on any bike. same reason i have seen people hit telonics on hardtails....... is it ideal? no. but its still possible.

 

What do you guys think of a 2011 Specialized big hit 2? 2012 boxxer and fox van r coil. Im sure thats a hike a bike for sure. LOL I have seen people put totems on them for more of a trail bike. $1300 for that one.

 

My friend has a 2015 specialized status bnew for sale for $1600 its a small think

 

got a link for the ad?

 

Yea txted him asked him for the details. Its a one of by spez. It has xfusion fork and rear and avid codes i think.
