ANY day o' the week!

lol @ fiend So what, I like it being lighter. I am a weight weenie!

Why are we talking about this, we both know it's personal preference. The durability of my parts has not gone down, in fact it has gone up. The weight has gone down a lot...

Revolver 6's? I broke two of those in less than a month! Norco built my wheel for me twice... Both times I busted the freehub body! I prefer a lighter bike, she manages mush better on the trails after an 8 pound weight loss.

Sweet bike man and totally respectable weight.

twowheels4ever (Oct 22, 2008 at 4:51)

721's?! those going to be strong enough? DANG

dandriller (Oct 22, 2008 at 8:21)

721's are one of the original DH/FR rims. It's rated as one of the most favorite rims of all time... It's strength is unreal when compared to it's weight.

twowheels4ever (Oct 22, 2008 at 9:13)

dh yes but not street different world when riding street

dandriller (Oct 22, 2008 at 13:08)

Mmmm, I prefer strength over weight in my parts. The bike is light enough as it is, any less and I would be going too far.

I get it, you are jealous! You are tied down with a wife and kids but you see me being young and free, a person you may recognize in your past self...

I would be jealous of me too if I were you, so no hard feelings here!

dandriller (Feb 27, 2009 at 10:54)

Oh yes, the blue bike rack on the right side of the picture happens to be the place where the damn bike was stolen!

slypandington (Feb 27, 2009 at 11:03)

creamsoda (Feb 27, 2009 at 11:08)

creamsoda (Feb 27, 2009 at 11:09)
