2011 stumpy for 1300 is pretty good deal i sold my 2011 stumpy evo expert with a bent rear hoop for 2k no problem

 

ill leave this here too

 

1. I know its a great deal, we have been working our butts off on the pool,deck and yard.... no time for anything!!!!
2. I know it is healthy for me
3. I dont want to be fat and out of shape
4. I am not in the military any longer, but I will ride the bike everywhere I go
5. I am the BEST hubby EVER, my job is my outlet to anxiety!!!!!
6. I am trying to get the whole family into it and the kids witll always ride in the trailer with me. My 4 year old will be into it. I am going to get her a Specialized for her first real bike.
7. Stumpys are badass
8. I was into mtb'n a while ago...... very much into it!!!!! Been wanting to get into again for a while.

I did like your list and I know that it seems like I am playing my own devil's advocate but I do alot of research about every purchase I make...

 

im tempted to get one for my next bike, i should be able to get a decent deal on one. depends on how much i think i will be able to use it...

 

Suggestions anyone?

 

What frame you riding?

How about Fox RP23 with the low volume can. I've heard the Monarch Plus RC3 is good as well. In all honesty...if you really concerned with the performance of it you should consider buying one and sending it in to Push or whatever other company you want to get it valved/tuned. If your balling on a budget, pick up a used one off ebay or pinkbike and send it in to be rebuilt and tuned.

Another option is to use internal spacers if you can to tune to volume of the shock. This will change the way it ramps up. My RP23 has the high volume can and it sucked until I modded it to be more like the low volume ones.

 

Oh Jordan your an e.13 whore!!! Jealous.

 

Im on a Specialized pitch. I was hoping to possibly pickup a used one on PB on Ebay. As far as sending in for a tune is that a custom tune for frame and weight or just a rebuild?

 

You provide them with frame info so they can determine leverage ratio, and body weight/riding style/expectations so they can take care of the proper tune. Push is pretty well regarded in doing this stuff.

 

there from SLO i have to haha although i alrady blew up the wheelset :/

back to Kings laced to 823's for me

 

The Blur LT carbon build is coming along....



I literally have everything with the exception of the wheelset ready to be bolted onto this badboy just been really busy---and haven't had a chance to place my wheel build order. This will probably be one of my favorite builds to date when it's all done.


Before I put it on Pinkbike, anyone interested in buying my Nomad carbon frame only?



It's a 2011 frame, size medium. Bitchin' condition, always kept clean! I will NOT be including the rear shock[the factory upper link will still be bolted in though] HOWEVER what I will leave on it is:

-gold 68/73mm Chris King ceramic bottom bracket(for Shimano cranks only) with the Chris king press install tool
-gold 1.5" inset Chris King headset(reducer cups set for 1 1/8th steertube forks---can be changed to any steertube size with a change of the cups. Bottom bracket and headset have been on the bike for no more than 2 months, pretty much brand new!

$1600 obo!

ALSO, I can package deal my 2010/11 Kashima Fox 40 fork with the frame as I am selling that as well if anyone is interested---$2400 sold with frame or $850 fork only.

Feel free to PM me offers...I CAN ship on buyer's dime.

Not in a rush to sell it(bike is still fully assembled!), but definitely guaging interest. I will be replacing this bike with another direction build, similar to my Blur carbon build.

 

Im still jealous of all you guys that get to ride DH runs

Some day...some day

 

This is our local back yard riding spot.

Back bone trail in Malibu

Check out this video on YouTube:

That was a good video. You made or found?

 

My friend did editing , I took a lot of the footage and the go-pro was on my helmet for some of it

I got so much more video. Just no time to edit it all and get it online.

 

just got done with a good ride! it had a 6 mile road climb to get to the trail head then another 2 miles until the downhill...it was awesome! definitely my favorite trail so far

here is a pic from the top of the road, its the highest point in the area.

 

Well, you did a great job!

 

Looks like a great ride!

 

it was totally worth the climb! the pure downhill section was like anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes though haha
