CURBS fear this bike now :)

Needs new headset and will be building the orginal front wheel onto a new hub :) but that will be a while.

[jayson]

Nice Colour Scheme

[M@M]

interesting...

[Nate]

am i missing something here? - the point

edit: but interesting none the less, good to see something different. {didn't want to seem like a dick - it's not what i intended}

[SIDESHOW]

sweet ride, but drop all the flames and work the green, black thing....

finally someone found a use for those uggin fugly dorados...they found where they were mean to be...

[SIDESHOW]

if you have to ask, why would we tell you??

[corey@nsmb.com]

..and they still won't work worth a pinch either, I love it.

[freakonaleash]

Ohh man, I cant believe you did it, Dorados on a cruiser. You have too much money man, too much damn money. Can I have some ?

Thats so unbelievably cool it aint even funny

[$$Chris*Ko$$]

if u get tired of that bike i'll take those dorado's off your hand. i could build a cruiser too hahahha.

[Rosscofat]

dorados are some of the nicest forks... but yes... the X WORKS Models... thos are the ones that never worked well :)

Im not happy with it. the intergraded stem needs to have shims so I can use tha tinsted of stock stem. it is lighter tho. 3 1/2 lbs lighter.

They are famous dorados... so I think ill hit some big drops.

[TWIGGY]

Holy crap, fuck, I cant even afford dorados on my DH bike, and he puts them on his cruiser, wtf? Ross, you going to take that to the laddy park sometime soon?

[freakonaleash]

My big question is can you hit 5ft drops on it ?

[corey@nsmb.com]

dorados are some of the nicest forks... .

..that must be why they were discontinued and why parts are so hard to get.

The decals worked ok though.

[freakonaleash]

Do I smell a Hint of jelousy ? :) Whats so bad about Dorados ?

[Rosscofat]

umm dorados were made to 2005... the flick was one of the best forks made.. and its not made anymore.... we have 2003 dorados comin in and goin back out for another year of abuse... parts hard to come by? you must be lookin in the wrong bin.. cuz there is LOTS OF PARTS. :)

Corey. u gotta know your stuff before u say that.. Ive never heard anyone of my buddys get told that they dont have parts for the fork... and even if they dont.. we take care of em with other ways.

[freakonaleash]

Mixed reviews on the dorado apparantly.

Ps ross, what does " OGC " stand for

[Rosscofat]

Outdoor gear canada

[freakonaleash]

Ohhhh. Where is it ?

[Rosscofat]

in Vancouver. do some google map finding or Google. :)

[Bridges!!!]

shoulda kept the green front rim on

[Chunk]

shoulda kept the green front rim on The original wheel wouldnt fit on the dorado. He said it was a half assed job anyways. Im sure the green rim will eventualy find it way back on the bike :)

PS-- That is SICK. Would a black leather brooks saddle look good on there i wonder? The exsisting seat is cool, but a little bit busy looking IMHO

[connor]

noice.. see I told you that headtube looked long. can you run a shorter stack headset in there? The only person I've seen with green Dorados was a Berrecloth, is that where they came from? yeah, 03 Dorados are probably the best feeling/looking fork ever made.

[SteveV]

where do you work to get all this money???

[Mr.Peanut]

where do you work to get all this money???


oh my...

[freakonaleash]

where do you work to get all this money???


Its powdery, white, but doesnt taste like sugar. Smells good too

[Nelson]

:lol: Nice

[C.Lee]

so.....why ...dorado?

edit: sorry if thats been answered already.. I just didnt bother reading.....other ppl's reply

[cameron]

send that picture to the maker of the cruiser.

they'll get a good laugh..

so, why??

[Nelson]

Why? Cause he can? It looks cool. It's a $4000 fork? Why do people have carbon fibre hoods on civics? Why do people put spinners on SUV's?

[Rosscofat]

why not is the answer. I work at a job...

i have a stem ontop... today im gunna cut the steer get shims for the intergraded and then do few more things to it.. I need to buy a new headset.

It is Ryans old fork.

[sokoloka]

I'd be very interested in the responses to this bicycle being posted on Pinkbike.

Looks sick though!

[the Master Plan Dan]

Rosscofat... Don't know how you do it... but that looks sick!

Jealous as I want one too... I very seriously doubt that mine will have such a big fork though!

Cheers!

[Madman]

He doesnt have a car to customize so he rices out bikes.

Are you planning on green doublewides? :lol: :lol: This is so lame.

[DaveM]

I can't wait to see the pimped out tricycle Rossco builds when he's older and has kids.

[Ninja]

he's older and has kids.Good lord... noooo

[Rosscofat]

lol

Nope but was thinkin the double wides... I am lacing the rim soon. and putting CK headset on due to some problems

need a license.

[Rosscofat]

buy a house? umm lets see.. logic = staying home 4 free or buy a house... and have to spend money on food heating internet cable lawmower light bulbs... beds... tv's ect.. ect... hmmm I think living for free sounds wayyyy better :)


licence meh yeah who said I cant have a pimp car and a L again.. i did it once before with my wrx.

:)

will be going with a carbon flatbar today also.

[the Master Plan Dan]

When I didn't live Downtown for university I lived at home rent free... of course all the money that I made went to the "Ryerson University needs a new building fund!"

At 22, that is cool... at 30... I don't know!?!?!??!?!?!?

[freakonaleash]

licence meh yeah who said I cant have a pimp car and a L again.. i did it once before with my wrx

Your kidding ? You dont have your liscense ? You should go out and try to get it, pickup a shitty old truck, and go to whistler like every other day.

[BrendanHowey]

rossco. that ride is sick!! wow

[Nate]

i dunno if i'd feel cool driving around in a pimp car with my dad/supervisor in the other seat and big fat L on the back of my car at 22

[Rosscofat]

meh. some people think you always have to be cool. I rather never have a car and ride my bike.

[cove_boy]

wow

[Midas]

http://www.toastedpixel.com/comic/goodtogo.jpg

[drummer_dil]

but that is wicked

[Rosscofat]

geez. some people.

[~mike*bodnaruk~]

[Troup]

Haha, Ross, You are too funny, there is a certain freedom to living out on your own you know. I like how you tossed in light bulbs in the list of things you need for a house.

[$$Chris*Ko$$]

hes being reasonable, or unreasonable as some might think. I just likes excuses to stay young hahahaha... Ross, you totally need some sort of spinners for that bike.. try machining a hub with a spinner in the middle. it'd be easy.

[Rosscofat]

thinkin of getting thos spinners for 24" wheels. already ontop of it.

Light bulbs cost money.. so do other small things that add up. everything takes thos important pennies outta your pocket. so longer I stay @ home longer I save thos important pennies.. I dont blow every paycheck fully on bikes 150/200$ goes into annother account for that day when I move out.. Im wayyy above what i need but why not keep goin.

[dudski]

he got a dorado on a choppa cause he watched the stripped teaser and jealousy ensued.

[Rosscofat]

l oo ll

[Couch_Surfer]

So I saw Ross's beast in person today. I can't believe how frigging bright that pink frame is... Unreal. It's bloody blinding.

Cheers man - that bike is just awesome.

[Rosscofat]

thanks man :) hope thos wheels are as bling as my bike

[cove_boy]

sweet

[Couch_Surfer]

thanks man :) hope thos wheels are as bling as my bike

Rolled on em this morning - they are fast. Only downside i see is all of the sudden I felt that the rest of my groupo wasn't up to snuff. This may end up costing me.

Thanks again.

[Rosscofat]

[freakonaleash]

[Troup]

ha, you do that lots eh ? your the resident gear whore.he goes all out on something when there's no competition, he obviously does things for himself and doesn't care what others think.

[Craz]

Slick.

All the haters, why not? It's a pimp ride. There's g uy at my shop that has one in green with a Shiver on the front and a Hayes mag for the brake. Looks kill.

[Rosscofat]
