how many teeth does that chainring have?!?! I wonder what he was using that bike for does anybody have anyinfo??

DavidMakalaster (Sep 10, 2008 at 9:44)

Looks like a setup for the Mammoth Kamikaze or Reebok Eliminator.

dishboy14 (Sep 10, 2008 at 9:53)

My guess would be the Mammoth Kamikaze as well.

timrippeth (Sep 10, 2008 at 11:51)

That's what I was thinking. Circa 1992. Look at all of the anodized purple on that beast. That is a scary headshock design. Ouch.

Filrox (Sep 10, 2008 at 12:08)

dont forget the red full spandex suit

tetopluz (Sep 10, 2008 at 19:39)

that's so retro! i kinda like it.

[Reply]

JokerMachine (Nov 8, 2008 at 8:31)

This is so weird, it's actually kind of ... well, no, it's just plain weird.

Things I noticed that totally caught me off guard: The ghetto jiggered up chain guide, and what appears to be a lockout on the rear shock. Well, and the obvious dinnerplate chainring, seriously that thing looks like such overkill.

This is the early years of the DH mountain bike, note the borrowed and retrofitted parts from Road bikes - the Ultegra 600 crank and chain ring thats gotta be somewere around 52th or higher and the fact they left the small ring on there to stiffen up the crank spider, even know its a single speed, the first generation shimano XT derailer and the chain tensioner in front of it holding it in place because derailer return springs were shit back then. And last but not least ...the hiked up road saddle and 6 inch drop stem,... just want you want to do - bring the stem and steer tube closer to yer chest LoL ,This bike would of handled better riding down the hill backwards.
This picture is Awsome, and everyone should appreciate it for all the R&D and testing back then that went into what we ride today, This Dude probably broke so much shit its not funny lol
