Do you use the insert image thing and link it to your hard drive?

my daily driver was a Giant XTC3 before I got my licence
speaking of cycling, anybody doing the great brisbane bike ride tomorrow?
Used to race down hill had a Girvin Flex stem with Xtr then an Orange clocwork,also a Kona Sex-1 that was a cool bike
now that's older than old school.
I remember when the sex one's came out.
mates were riding Diamondback Dual-E's at the time.

that looks like a sweet trails ride, you'll have stacks of fun with that for sure.
🙂
geeez bikes get addictive and cost ya heaps!!
yes, easy to get addicted.
and can be expensive if you want it to be.
My DH rig would cost over $10k to replace.
I have just as much, if not, more fun riding my FR dually which is worth only 1/3 of that.
I ride with guys on sub $1000 bikes that are having just as much fun.
You don't need to spend big $$$ to have a great time.

wicked thread!.......
I used to ride a 2000 Giant Yukon til I sold it coz I went OS. I'm going to be getting a Raceline Max real soon (like, as soon as my bloody bug stops consuming all the contents of my wallet and bank account!). I'll be upgrading the flimsy Hayes Sole (single pot) with Hayes HFX-9XCs with 6" rotors. I could go for the DH type (and 8" rotors), but that would add an extra 200 grams to the bike - and I wanna start getting into trials.(gram counter!:P) It'll only be running Deore - I may switch to SRAM 5's or 9's in the future. Wouldn't mind getting a nice phat/fat 39mm Sun Rim Intense Mag 30 rim for the rear too... one thing at a time... one thing at a time.. get the bloody bike first!
vwtyp2 - wish I could have the cash for two dedicated bikes - you lucky sod!:kiss btw, great fotos of you airborne!
Chewy - like wise!

...and Robert's ya father's brother...
so, what's everyone's fav riding hole?
PS: more pics of action!
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
oh yeh, whats everyone's opinion about forks with lockout adjustment? Durable enough for bombing (I've got the Matinou Skareb's with lockout in mind)
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
AAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhh u youngsters. I used to race downhill, but back then it was all about just flatout speed, Mamoth Mountain style rather then jumping buses. I was Central Coast Downhill champion 4 years in a row back in the late 90's (what are u laughing at, isn't that a title that everyone wants? ) & beat regularly the likes of Mick "airtime" Edwards who was a fully backed GT rider at the time, I also won on a fully rigged bike, couldn't do that today I'm afraid.
I also raced the State & National Cross Country Series, but now I'm concentrating on the 12 hour enduro races.
God I love mountain biking, I can go anywhere & I can piss off road riders when I tuck in behind them for a few k on the road, even with 2.35 inch tyres, before turning off to hit the next mountain. I generally train 2 hours a day min.
Great stuff!
regards
Jak

Man, can't believe I missed a bike thread!!
I'm a roadie at heart (I'll take you on Jak :thumb ) but have been getting into MTB orienteering for the last few years as well. Besides all my road/commuter bikes I have a Mongoose NX dual susp. and a Kona Stinky Dee. Need to add a good hard tail to the range though for the riding I do.
