so you spent all that time and money building it, hurt yourself albeit bad, once, then hastily sold it?

poor choice.

Imentioned it before, this isnt the first time...im not risking my future health as i have a bad track record with my arm and i know the game is up...why try and fight a losing battle to come out worse in the end?

ffs, EVERYBODY, ITS HIS CHOICE IF HE WANTS TO SELL IT! Evan if he didnt hurt himself, and wanted to sell it, its his bike, his money, his choice!
Sorry, but had to say something as people just keep going on and on saying you shouldnt have sold it. Hope your arm gets well soon, and when it does, start a new project like building the lightest DH bike (lighter than the sub 30lb session) tup

yeah, but im saying that once your shoulder is 'healed' even if you only get to ride for a month after that (before it breaks again) it will still be worth it

I disagree, Everytime it happens the muscles weaken and the bone deteriorates, Why on earth would i risk my health just for the sake of one month riding???

Have you ever been out with injury? If you have you know how painful that is in its self so no its not worth it at all.

And it's his choice if he wants to sell it, give him a break guys

It's called criticism, he should have just built a real bike in the first place, not some stupid BS of zomg teh worlds lightest bike, imma get in teh book of world records with this one, it's his money though he can chose how to waste it.

Not poor choice for selling it due to injury, but you spent alot of time building that bike. why not keep it and use it later down the line? or even build up something new out of most of the parts? i hate to think of things ive got rid of and wish i still had.
