My girl friend named my bike: Carl the commy aka Karl the cammunist.

nishnash (May 26, 2009 at 21:46)

LOL

ajax-ripper (May 26, 2009 at 21:49)

wanna trade bikes?

nishnash (May 26, 2009 at 21:50)

hahaha nawrs man I'm good

ajax-ripper (May 26, 2009 at 21:51)

ah, you wanna buy some x9?

joexspocent92 (Jul 14, 2009 at 11:49)

how much did you get it for?

nishnash (Jul 14, 2009 at 17:37)

bike? not for sale...i paid 3g-ish

joexspocent92 (Jul 15, 2009 at 0:10)

oh. thats not too bad i guess. i dont know how much commencals retail for, but theyre really expensive even though the components arent that great

nishnash (Jul 15, 2009 at 12:39)

yeh..oh well the frame really does more than make up for it....like that shock, they can easily get away with it because they're suspension design is so amazing....
And yeh retail is like 4500~ish

ajax-ripper (Jul 15, 2009 at 12:57)

I miss my commencal but, My marin is far superior.

nishnash (Jul 15, 2009 at 19:23)

I love the Marins to...but there is something about the Commencal and the way it rides that is just way different than anything else...

joexspocent92 (Jul 15, 2009 at 21:30)

care to explain? im curious haha

ajax-ripper (Jul 15, 2009 at 21:44)

the commencal is pretty much the perfect single pivot, no brake jack or pedal bob, they are great for single track and tech but suck on on open bumpy stuff. i personaly am in love with my marin, it does everything the commencal did but better

nishnash (Jul 15, 2009 at 21:46)

It tracks fucking amazingly, but its not hard to put in the air, it wants to fly, but when its on the ground it eats it all up, the suspension feels great, even when u bottom it feels endless. So stable in the air and the ground, when you jump you dont need to do much, just go fast and fly.... The downfall is how long it is, makes hipping harder, hard to twist around turns and such, makes DH-dropping harder...but its worth it. The bike is magical...

nishnash (Jul 15, 2009 at 21:49)

Nah dude the commy is sick on the bumpy stuff....u gotta have it set up PERFECTLY though, and there is a little bob...but not much. When you stand up and hammer it doesnt bob much

ajax-ripper (Jul 15, 2009 at 21:50)

mine sucked on the open bumpy (it was a mini dh)

nishnash (Jul 15, 2009 at 21:56)

hmm weird...but i guess different bikes with difs purposes.... Actually one of the best things on my bike is the Drop on B-Line to right hand berm into step up...call me a loser but i love that bit lol

ajax-ripper (Jul 15, 2009 at 21:57)

Wow I thaught that was so flow on my commencal xD

nishnash (Jul 15, 2009 at 22:01)

lol its flow on ltos of bikes, my point was that berm is filled with braking bumps and im accelatating through it.. another highlight of the bike, it fucking pumps every bump naturally. u accellerate as long as ure going forward and not braking.

ajax-ripper (Jul 15, 2009 at 22:03)

I know i owned one for a very long time

nishnash (Jul 15, 2009 at 22:05)

I know u did im just saying for the guy who asked above...

joexspocent92 (Jul 16, 2009 at 15:52)

thanks. haha. i guess they mastered the single pivot. mine bobs disgustingly (iron horse yakuza kumicho)

bikeobsessed (Mar 24, 2009 at 20:29)

haha commy, communist. you bought a russian?

nishnash (Mar 24, 2009 at 20:36)

hahahahahahaha no i bought a french....thing! lol and thanks

joexspocent92 (Jul 14, 2009 at 11:48)

haha i was thinking about that also

odin333 (Aug 10, 2009 at 15:53)

what are you running as a rear shock??

nishnash (Aug 10, 2009 at 15:58)

right now...Rocco R lol

fantaman (Sep 23, 2009 at 12:52)

ditch the rocco man,your'e bike deserves better shock

nishnash (Sep 23, 2009 at 17:37)

Lol I know, Im broke right now though

And im not even riding the commy....frames just sitting in my room.
and The rocco is a really nice shock, i definitely prefer it over the DHX on my Jamis

odin333 (Sep 23, 2009 at 17:46)

why would you buy a Jamis??

amadeusg (Jan 14, 2010 at 18:14)

kevman866 (Feb 27, 2009 at 23:05)
