Post from yesterday. Sorry for the confusion


Can I join without changing my sig? And yes, I have a hardrock (http://jonbuder.com/images/11-20-05/IMG_1256.jpg) :P

No clubs for the Demo 8s?

This better not turn into a huge flame war with each side picking and choosing which bike is better.

You know I'm in like Mr. Flynn.

I figure I have 5 hardrocks - a 99 steel frame, and a 2001 AL frame one that I've paid for at least twice... then there are my 2 sons....

put the picture in your signatures :D

apclassic, raiyn, you guys joining?

I'm more of a Punkrocker myself.

But if I were to get a Hardrock, what would be the benefits of membership in this club/cult/herd of sheep?

You know I've got one but I aint gettin' in no cult. The whole thing seems a little strange to me. Will you guys have a yearly convention?

If they did, it would be overdoing it.

more like a herd of sheep..

uh.... comradarie? :)

is it me or is this club thing getting kinda old...its fun in hte beginning but like clubruiser wasnt really a club, like the original post said "not anything special...just stick in your sig" its more or less saying i have a bruiser rather than just saying 2002 Trek Briuser 2 or whatnot.

what about a Trek 4500 club?

apclassic, raiyn, you guys joining?
Member by default. Not changing the sig though. I like what I have.

what about a Trek 4500 club?
Why in the heck would we want to?

raiyn, added

Add me, add me! Just don't force me to change my sig please. ;)

but its so cool! :(

I have a hardrock Ill join.

just stick the banner in your signature :)

Just for the hell of it I'm in. Yes I do actually have a Hardrock. 05 Sport, yellow, completely stock except it has the old MZ Comp off my Bruiser.

we need someone to bridge the gap haha

I think Drunken Chicken's hardrock is black.

That's right. Soon to come: front & rear Avid Juicy 5, X7 derailleur, X7 shifters, Doubletrack wheelset
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/gabor/IM003694.jpg

How much is that Doubletrack wheelset going to run?

I think you might be better off getting avid mechs rather than juicy 5's, and maybe an XT/rhynolite wheelset rather than the doubletracks, and then using the money to get a new fork?
Upgrading to the MX I have made a huge difference riding anything rough. I can actually ride it fast without feeling out of control because of the front popping up at the slightest thing, and the fork bouncing up and down the whole time.

I'm actually in a bit of a dilemma now.. I don't like the hardrock frame much anymore, and I don't want a geared bike. So I don't want to go singlespeed on the frame I have, and if I do get a singlespeed MTB, I want it to be a light XC bike, and none of the parts I have are very lightweight. So I'll buy a singlespeed bike for nearly all my riding and keep the hardrock to beat up on shorter rides or ones where I might need to follow the same pace as someone on a geared bike :P

Count me in.

nice ride! just take off the reflectors :|

Thanks! I don't like how the reflectors look either, but seeing as how I have a black bike and a black jacket, I'm keeping them on in the interest of safety.

ah yeah i guess that makes sense.

Sorry, but I'm still in the primitive and use dial-up. Is there any other way to view "thevishfiles" other than waiting an hour to download them? Stream maybe?

My computer's crap, still running Windows ME.

Would love to check these out though, any help would be great. thanx.

i'm running windows 2k, but i have cable :D

i think the only way you can see them is to download them, sorry :S

here's a stream of his latest movie, with a cool story at the beginning and some crashes at the end.

this is after he bought his demo and hung up his hardrock.

Does a vintage Hardrock count?

its a hardrock, so damn diggity right it does!

The Doubletrack wheelset ran me 130 euros, shipped. :D
As for Avid Mechs, here they'd cost nearly the same as what I bought my Juicy's for (Avids here are about 90 euros/each, Juicy 5s, back in Hungary, the front one ran me about 120 euros) and anyway, I just don't like the feel of mechs (although some are, of course, powerful).

XT/Rhynolite would run me much more money, so there'd be no way I could get a new fork. :)

i have the gurly hardrock! just got it this past summer.... and i kinda like mountain biking... as long as it's not too hard and not too cold! *gasp* ya... i'm kindof a sissy! i'm really a roadie... but lean to the dirty side once in a while!

http://caligurl.com/bikergurl/pics/1stmtnbike/1.jpg

haha all right!

are you gonna join the club?

i'll be a hardrocker... (or at least a part time hardrocker.. when i'm not roadie-ing!) without the logo in my siggie! lol!
