yeah but if you ad to get drop offs for it at least get singles not duals on a bottlerocket it is supposed to be a slopestyle bike not downhill
lol drop off triples are garbage and if anything how does a drop off triple improve the bike into becoming more slopestyle its a f*ckin dual crown u tool

i was replying to some one else u f*ckig idiot ha was saying to put drop off triples and i was saying not to and to put 36s on it becuz it is a slopestlye bike and drop offs would f*ck it up read the whole convo befor u made a judgement

im gonna say get the lyric, but, i also think that the bottle rocket isnt your best choice, maybe a reignX frame, cheaper, and more versitile

http://www.bos-engineering.com/MTB2/en.html - they're not out yet though, I think they'll be out in 2009 somewhen as a 2010 model - they are coil sprung and available in 160 or 170mm.

I dunno, they are coil though and I prefer the versatility of air springs so I won't be getting one anyway, despite how pimp they look!

i was looking into one, they are cheaper but only by like 200 bucks and it comes with a dhx 3 coil and i want togo air so than it ould be more than the bottlerocket with the air.. but is is a better bike? its more travel and the geo is way different i cant decide i agree with the lyric

its a much, much more versitile bike, talk to the user MitchT, he has great experience with it, its a dh capable, AM, SS, DJ, and FR rig. it all depends on the build, the lyric will make it a very, very versitile bike
