Hombre3000 (Jun 24, 2008 at 16:47)

Thanks! I just say "it's just a little Toy" and then people realize that that's what it's called.

dude you have no idea how lucky you are =]. must be a B**** to jump though with the dual crowns up front. i have never thought it was possible cause you would put to much stress on the steer tube and it would crack. so ive been told.

Hombre3000 (Aug 24, 2008 at 23:07)

Thanks! I did have to pay for it, you know.
Yeah, it's sort of a brute to jump, but the short wheelbase helps. It's a DH bike, anyways.
I made sure to get a really strong frame to put a dual crown on, because most bikes can't handle it. It's got a 1.5" head tube and a gigantic downtube (if you can't tell from the photo), and some nice large gussets around the head tube.

wow, i know i commented before, but that is ridiculous. i have to say i hate pinkbikes, and i hate dual crowns on hartails, but this thing is just amazing. it just looks so perect!

Hombre3000 (Aug 28, 2008 at 21:11)

I know exactly what you mean. I know that everyone hates those and I thought I'd build one so nice that I'd break the stereotype. Guess it worked!
Thanks again.

thats sick! how does it manual?

Hombre3000 (Sep 11, 2008 at 20:33)

Thanks! It actually lifts pretty easily because it has adjustable dropouts, and I have them set pretty short right now.
Unfortunately, I haven't ridden it much because the fork is very sticky and needs a real rebuild.

Very nice in deed, are those Enduro fork seals i see?

Hombre3000 (Sep 17, 2008 at 17:08)

Thanks! They are! Unfortunately, however, the fork is extremely sticky, and I might not end up keeping the seals when it gets serviced. I might not even keep the fork. We'll see.

Has your opinion on this bad boy changed at all? Used to it yet?

Hombre3000 (Sep 28, 2008 at 17:55)

The fork is still a trash can full of bad and sadness.
I want to service it. Or burn it. Still deciding.

stprider08 (Jan 18, 2009 at 9:13)

Hombre3000 (Jan 18, 2009 at 9:20)
