VERY nice ride Mud!!!! Thge anticipation is over, as well as the summer almost:P

But I guess you can ride almost all year down there now eh:(

Onec again, beauty ride!!

[mudpuppy]

Yeah we ride all year, fall is one of my favourite times to ride. A bit nervous....and REALLY excited.....looking to go for a little ride this friday, either on the trails with my son or a little urban...well see.

[LOBOTIDULATOR]

i'm liking it. however i'm not a fan of the red coil. but other than that :cool:

[Team2K]

Sweet ride man... have fun in those trails. If you search the gear section, there was a guy who was giving away a front derailleur for a DH tube... good deal for ya if its still avail.

Chawsome Doood, Good lookin bike. I like their "Turner 4-bar" more so then Banshee. Looks lighter and less bulky, along the lines of Giant and Kona. But it is stillsexier than all of them!!!

Good job Mudpuppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mudpuppy]

Thanks guys, can't wait to get a real ride in.

It is a four bar, but not quite like Turner (mabye their old ones w/out the horst link)...and I agree...WAY better looking, but the chap is no slouch either.

[Battlecat]

looks like a nice and clean bike:)

[mudpuppy]

Won't be clean for long.....not if I have my way...dirty bike...dirty.....:D :D :D

As an owner of a fork with the inegrated stem i would have to agree. But Damn is it sure stiff.

i do love the dirtbag...kevin and kyle did a bangup job for sure!

[mudpuppy]

Yeah....not as pretty as the Thompson.....but it is stiff and I need that more than anything.

Yeah, it's amazing just after my little spin around I allready feel a bit better.:D :D

OMG, I'm starting to really like these transition bikes...

[Trini-dad72]

Sorry I forgot about the Chap, that goes on to the good Turner 4 Bar list as well:P

[Loopie]

:beer::beer: and cheers!

[Loopie]

Rivers...I was just reading in that other Transistion thread....you need armour? I have a full set of medium 661's in useable condition. Don't know if you can make that size work for ya...let me know.

[mudpuppy]

Hmmm....mabye the arms would work, I have some crappy roach indy knock off for the legs, but really want arms.....lemme know how much ya want.

[Loopie]

hmmm...you've sent me an OS disc....on call tech support is available at your home #.....yup, I think they'll be free:)
On one side, the net is cut along the seam (by the nurse when I broke my wrist)...I've noticed on more than one occassion:( that if the net isn't around your arm and it's only the straps holding it on...it'll protect you from the first/main impact, a good thing...but it'll slip outta the way enough to give ya some road/trail rash during the slide:lol:
The other side is 100% intact.
