Gingy's dhr gets an 8 for me. Looks sick, needs more white accents to get into the 9 zone. Fork is sick but doesnt match well.

You guys are far too generous in this thread. I always expect the Rate My threads to be an all out flamefest. but you guys are like:

I don't like 80% of that bike 9/10

I wouldn't ride that bike if you paid me 10/10

That bike is ugly as shit 9/10

7/10 for that gambler btw, Which is a good score as far as I'm concerned. Would maybe be an 8 without the fenders and colored grips.

edit: My point kinda being That devinci is a solid 2/10 at best. Big seat, backwards qr lever, ugly pedals, mismatched brakes, semislick tires, super high rise bars rocked forward. And the potato pic doesn't help either.

this is a Rate My thread, not some Namby Pamby make everyone happy thread. This is a thread for criticism! criticize!

0/10 you didn't post your bike for flaming

But I did post it a while back, expecting to get flamed. And it only got positive feedback. Even with stock MTX wheels and some other bits that I don't even see as sexy, even as the owner. Part of my point.

anyway, That DHR is pretty sick. 8/10 the way it is. Would be a 9/10 with a black fork, pedals, and bars. for a full murdered out look.

DW DHR hi five Beer

performance wise i give it a 8/10... a 380 on that would be tits
cosmetically i would continue with the black theme.. the white pedals and fork throw it off


but none the less Drool

6/10. Has a lot of potential though. Burlier fork would make a huge dif (32mm boxxers look so noodly) Short cage mech, different rotors. ect.

That is the best color that sundays came in. for sure.

Cool! I've never really been a fan of Iron Horse so i'll give it a 7/10. I haven't rode one before though so I can't really say. I'm not really a fan of the lime green colour either though. It looks fun though! Nice bike! Smile

8/10 for the Iron Horse, always loved the Sundays but the forks do look a little small in the stanchions. Here is my 09 Iron horse, still upgrading and tuning it but I am pretty happy with where it is at.

6/10 for the above Ironhorse.

It's sending my OCD wild, haha.
Stem and bars don't go well with one another, mismatching brakes... and I'm generally not too big a fan of the frame design.

Redeeming features would be, it looks good raw, and the 40s are a huge improvement, visually, over those noodle Boxxers further above.

Below is my ground-up, fully custom build of Nathan Rennie's Canberra 09 World Cup Makulu frame.
Ignore the spaghetti hoses, they'll be cut down next week. Smile

That morewood is amazing. Favorite color for a bike.

Off the bat Visually I'd say it's a 10/10

After looking close at components I'd say 9/10 for me, but that's because I'm picky as hell.
Don't like saint pedals, fox Dhx's, or that chainguide.

but goddamn beautiful nonetheless.
