ThomasMitchell (Aug 3, 2009 at 15:49)

nice, i think it would of looked better if you didnt put the black strips on and left the frame white... still looks sick though!

LewisBuchanan (Jul 5, 2009 at 12:22)

ThomasMitchell (Jul 5, 2009 at 12:24)

biker12344 (Jul 5, 2009 at 12:29)

hahaha lewis just got told

edd-stevens (Jul 8, 2009 at 23:10)

he rides an empire....so that owns this

ThomasMitchell (Jul 9, 2009 at 16:32)

nah

edd-stevens (Jul 10, 2009 at 2:34)

dont get me wrong , this is sick , but id rather an empire anyday

ThomasMitchell (Jul 14, 2009 at 15:53)

my mate has ridden the empire and said it was shit compared to his sunday...

edd-stevens (Jul 14, 2009 at 22:54)

no , just no

ThomasMitchell (Jul 15, 2009 at 2:35)

have you ridden both a sunday and an empire?

will-ingram (Jul 15, 2009 at 10:25)

no he has'nt ridden either og them :L

i hav'nt ridden either my self but i just love the look of the empire but the sunday is still a beaut of a bike

edd-stevens (Jul 15, 2009 at 14:46)

ive ridden a sunday , and it was a sick ride , but the empire is so out of this world , pushing the boundries of what man can create that i prefer it :L

ThomasMitchell (Jul 15, 2009 at 16:38)

no but have you RIDDEN an empire!

edd-stevens (Jul 15, 2009 at 23:38)

no , seriosly man , im just saying i prefer the empire , you wont make me change that!

ThomasMitchell (Jul 16, 2009 at 5:10)

i'm not trying to change that. you like what you like, its your choice and i respect that but try ridding bikes before you make comments about them in future

will-ingram (Jul 16, 2009 at 5:11)

yeh,that is a very good point,i havnt ridden either like i said i just love the empire look but the sunday is pure sex

edd-stevens (Jul 16, 2009 at 11:16)

agreed

cardronapumpandjumptrack (Apr 1, 2010 at 16:17)

well sam hill did dominate on a sunday and empire have never even got a world cup podium. i don't think?

edd-stevens (Apr 2, 2010 at 1:33)

That is the shittest reasoning ever. Sam hill would of probably taken those podiums on any of these top end bikes. and i bet you didnt know the sunday Sam was riding had closer geometry to a medium 224 than a stock sunday... There is not a lot of difference in what these top end frames will do. The bike is down to budgit/preferance and the speed is down to the rider.

cardronapumpandjumptrack (Apr 2, 2010 at 2:44)

well if it is down to budget then the sunday surely wins because the empire costs almost £3000 for just a frame! and its heavy. what the point in having one?

edd-stevens (Apr 2, 2010 at 5:44)

The empire has its advantages over the sunday. In lewis's case the point in having one is sponsorship. Your really showing yourself up here...

cardronapumpandjumptrack (Apr 2, 2010 at 13:24)

lewis doesn't even have one

lifeis2ride (Jul 5, 2009 at 13:02)

lewis r u blide?? thats really nice m8 well do dude

ThomasMitchell (Jul 5, 2009 at 13:18)

thanks

renio (Jul 5, 2009 at 14:15)

nice design,but it's a pity those letters which stand for "iron horse" are barely visible, anyway nice job

ThomasMitchell (Jul 6, 2009 at 0:22)

yeah but they do look more visable in real life but thanks for the comment

KyronH (Jul 10, 2009 at 6:07)

u really shouldv kept the green fox decals

ThomasMitchell (Jul 10, 2009 at 10:16)

the 09 decals look better i think

KyronH (Jul 21, 2009 at 13:55)

i think they would on any other bike, but yours would look good wi the extra touch of green

ThomasMitchell (Jul 22, 2009 at 3:35)

i know but i didnt know where to get them

KyronH (Jul 28, 2009 at 9:16)

cant you just go to apex??

ThomasMitchell (Jul 29, 2009 at 14:19)

no... i dont want them to get green because the forks wont alway be on that bike

dwlinkage (Sep 27, 2009 at 11:55)
