 safe and sound now --- it spent all of 10 minutes sitting in snow ---- never actually rolled it yet, not even on pavement... note, no pedals, steer tube aint cut yet, shifter cable isn't set up... you can maybe drift down a hill with your toes in the pedal holes but, that's about it

 and how rides one of these ? How they are compared to TR450 and TR550 ?
  • 1 0
 they have made some slight cosmetic changes... frame is designed more around 650b's now but they do offer a 26" kit as a complete bike though.

super fun ride -- great design

 Ha ha ha... yeah Airborne is the master at borrowing designs, lowering quality and calling it their own.... China does the same thing relentlessly.

 I have picture of a Tr450 and an Airborne side by side in Pshop's profile somewhere --- pretty crazy how the design is so similar.

cheaper bearing/pivot hardware on the AB is very noticeable ...

welds are sorta fat and GTish (sloppy) but that's purely cosmetic for the most part.

linkage hardware looks very much like the stuff Iron Horse put out... I'm pretty sure Airborne bought Iron Horse's factory during that whole bankruptcy phase. if I can find that photo, I could point out one major change they made with the seatpost and top tube intersection along with a significant difference with the rear linkage.

 bla ha ha... two words (HERE WE GO) yeah, I don't follow the knock-off brands like Airborne, Motobooocane, Schwinn.. good buddy of mine have a Ti tri bike that was made by Airborne, man...it looked cool as shit (from a distance) but up close, what a shotty job they do on the welds.

and wait, why would you want to run rings around me, that's kinda weird don'tja think? what kind of rings are you talking about anyway? like hulla hoop rings? or more like Lord of the rings...

 and yes -- I believe it because I read it on Al Gore's Internet:

 I used to be an Iron Horse dealer --- they were my "cheap bike" go-to source for those who didn't want to pony up for the nicer stuff. Admittedly, that Sunday they made was pretty bad ass but the rest was so-so compared to products in the same price range. They dropped the ball on the entry level stuff, that stuff was real crap. It got to the point, I wouldn't even stock the entry level stuff cause they were too time consuming, constantly have to spend a ton of time trueing wheels, bending, fixing, replacing broken or lost finding lost parts. the products that were a tick more mid-level or higher, that stuff was not bad but end result, (IMO) it was name recognition ... not enough people heard of the brand. I ended up dropping the brand, shortly after that, they went bankrupt.
