Mountain Bikes....

a coworker wanted a bike after i got mine so i told her to go to the bikeshop i went to cause they were very good to me, well to make a long story short she walked out of there with a $1200 giant for $400 cause it was an older model and had been sitting there for over a year..

 

can't go wrong with a Specialized!! I am on my second one and love it!

 

sexy. those GTs are usually super light no?

 

Testing the suspension on my new giant. One of the smaller drops i did. Can't wait for mammoth!!

 

lol, doing the same thing

IF my bike ever gets here , i will have a white Santa Cruz superlight to match the truck.

they are waiting on frames...should be the end of June.....damnit!!!

 

As an "All Mountain" bike its light for a downhill bike, but heavy for a trail bike. Whatever...I like it!

Thats going to be a sick bike, must be hard to wait. Post it up when you get it!

 

my first MTB was a '05 Specialized Hardrock Sport. I paid 275 for it on craigslist. It was worth every penny. I sold it 6 months later for 250, upgraded to a Stumpjumper Comp HT.

 

Here is my Specialized Hardrock Disc. I picked it up in March, and so far love it!

From the day I got it:



This was a couple weeks ago, after giving it good wipe down:



And of course the obligatory "bike in the truck" pic

 

Anyone ride Brooks seats?

 

lol, looks like you and i are prob about the same height. (5'8")

my bike will fit with tailgate closed, too
but my 6"4" buddy and his very large bike does not...

pretty old pic

 

I am a little taller, 5' 10". My bike is a 19". I almost went with a 17", but after riding both the 19 felt better.

 

On a side note...
I'm sure you guys know that the type of bike mount you purchase for your truck bed will determine how much room you have when the tailgate is closed. Case in point...in my truck with my bike
Factory Cleat - Rear tire would hit tailgate.
Performance Bike Mount - gained about 3 inches only because I mounted it above the back wall versus inside the bed.
Food for thought.

 

absolutely. I mounted my Delta fork mount in the bedrail, and although my MT bike fits, my beach cruiser is a couple inches too long....

 

Could you guys post up some pics of bike mounts? This is something that I am going to have to do soon and I would love to be able to close the tailgate.

 

Dude, I'm surprised we haven't gone out to mtn bike yet. You need to see my set-up. I'll take a pic for you bro.

 

Dude, use a Yakima Blockhead, it's a super-easy add-on to the factory rail system!

 

just bought mine today woohoo! 09 GT Marathon Sport... I LOVE IT got it for 950...

 

That's a really nice bike, but correct me if I'm wrong....did you run over some dog shit with your front tire in the second pic?

 

Those look like Kendal Nevegals. Haha. You running tubeless?

 

lmfao! looks like CHIT to me! good eye! lol!
