Lets see Those (mountain) Bikes!

Thanks!
I was daydreaming about mounting a quick release mount on the diamond plate work platform on the heli. The plan at the time would be to load my bike up each time we had a power assurance check to do on the helicopter and take it for a quick ride in the foot hills west of our hanger.

 

I test rode a 2010 at a Giant Demo. Damn this bike is the fast.

 

My Niner One9 singlespeed (19lbs) Industry Nine SS wheels laced to Archs, Carbon fork, Formula brakes, Boone Cog, modified XTR crank..................


My Pivot 429 (27lbs) Industry Nine wheels laced to Flows, Formula Puro brakes, 2010 Fox fork with 15mm thru-axel, Sram XO, xt, xtr drivetrain......................


And my Cannondale SuperSix (13.75lbs) Sram Red Drivetrain, custom wheels Tune Hubs laced with Sapim CX ray spokes to Reynolds carbon clincher rims, Zipp bars, Keo pedals.........................


I race the the singlespeed almost always nowadays and use the Pivot for fun and train on the SuperSix in the winter for race season in the spring/summer.

I've got an '08 Specialized fsr XC Comp. Its a pretty nice bike for how I use it (but I dont ride often enough) but due to finances at the moment I may have to sell it in order to keep a few more important things.... like my truck. :/ I'll post a pic if I find one, or I'll snap one next time I can.

Learned my lesson on why you buy bikes from a bike shop, Not a box sports store.
bought that K2 back, and went to a bike store and bought this.

 

When I worked in a bike shop - it was so frustrating.
Someone would come in and talk to you for 3 hours about what to buy blah blah blah. Two weeks later, they would come in with the bike they bought at Sports Authority, wanting you to fix it.

 

Yeah, With my history with bicycles I should have known better, there was a little voice telling me not to.
I have heard of some shops flat out refusing to work on wal mart bikes. ha ha!

 

Ya, and they are not doing it just to be jerks because you bought a bike somewhere else.

It's actually harder to work on those bikes, and they go out of tune so fast that they are running like crap a week after an overhaul. The customer is then bitching about, "I paid $50 bucks for a tuneup and now I hear a noise coming from the rear der." Well, yeah.

Parts are tough to get to get too - the tune up takes about 30 minutes, but you might have to spend a couple hours on the phone / internet trying to get a part, and that's time you just don't get paid for.

 

im ing at all these!
