Go for the S8 over the brodie. I love mine - I ride shore and whistler with it.

Like any other bike, Super 8's are not indestructable. They are killer bikes, but they too crack.

I don't know a single person who rides one who has not cracked or broken it.

Just some info if you are thinking this bike is the only answer to your current cracked frames.

Took me 2 years to crack my swingarm (2001). My friend bought the same bike and cracked it in the same time as well, and still has the original swingarm. Very tough bike.

I agree, very tough bikes. My point was that like everything else, it is not indestructable.

Cucumber Jones · 07-10-2003, 08:06 PM

I broke my 1999 s8 but the new 2002.5 one is much stronger.

My Super 8 weighs in around 44 (with a monster T). Love the bike, rides really well and handles awesome. There is a guy up in nanaimo who has a new med super 8 frame and parts for $1350 that's a pretty good deal considering it was a $2800 retail frame.

Some guys are selling theirs with Avys in good condition with a floating caliper,rear wheel,bb and small parts etc etc for $1500
and one with no caliper with avy for $1400

mike · 07-11-2003, 01:42 AM

Scoobydoo · 07-11-2003, 01:53 AM
