Mountain Biking - Oh crap!

darn it, has been searching for a bike (for fun) that would categorize it self as a All-Mountain, I only end up with Epiphany, well went to competitive cyclist and I end up making the bike around RM15k.

So I went searching again, and sadly I ended up at Trek's Fuel EX line and im stucked there. I got addicted to the FUEL EX line. Oh my gawsh, Im totally addicted to the Fuel EX 8, check this out http://www.treknology3.com/2007/trek/mountain/pages/f8.htm

I believe they are clearing the past XTR models and decided to package it with the Fuel EX8, what you need to do is just change the shifters to the new XTR and you get ur self, one hella of a bike :D, and its weight is around 12kg. Not bad for a Marathon XC bike. (Actually after thinking and decided my self, I decided that I want to ride longer and further instead of faster, which means I am supposed to look for a comfortable XC all terrain bike instead of a XC race bike and its weight should be around 11-12kg) The irony.....

Oh well, when I work, maybe I get that instead of Epiphany :) damn 07 Trek rocks

Here we go again. Please make this process shorter this time.

... why must you follow my posts

Moving to mountain bike forum.

So you're falling down too much on the current bike that you spent months dithering about.

Now you want to by a burlier bike to do more "all mountain" stuff.

This will be entertaining/comical to watch.

Yeah, be sure to upgrade those shifters, 'cause, you know, all previous incarnations of XTR blow @ss. :rolleyes:

I will say it again...Jamis Dakar XLT! Very tough frame, nice'n'plush.

Just build one, dude.

Sure, you could buy a SC Nomad, but for less than the price of a Nomad frame, I built:

Dakar XLT-Fox Van R coil shock (shock on the way)
Fox Vanilla R 130 fork
XT derailleurs
XT cassette
LX shifters
Hone crankset
Hope Pro 2 / DT EX5.1d / DT Comp wheelset (OTW)
Avid Juicy 5 brakes
Thomson Elite Layback seatpost
WTB Rocket V Team Ti saddle
Easton EA 50 stem
Easton EA 70 HiRise handlebars
Lizard Skins Logo Lock On grips
FSA Orbit Z headset (OTW)
Shimano m505 pedals
Kenda Nevegal 2.35" DTC tires (OTW)

(all said and done...I'll only have $1409 in it)

Once I get the new stuff installed, it should weigh around 31lbs. (maybe less) Still tough as nails for all around riding. I won't do full-on freeride or full-on XC with it, but that's my style. A stairgap here, some singletrack there...a little bit of everything. Just as long as I can get some air;)

... why must you follow my posts

Not following per say, I just don't want to go through that episode where you were being pickey with every single aspect of the bike.

:lol:So where was this originally posted?:lol:

Foo.

Send this thread back to foo..

That bike sucks btw.

:roflmao::cry:
It sounds like wheelhot is trying to avoid us...:mad:

oh you want to know why am I avoiding you guys, its because some of you comments is ....this bike sucks. End of story. So I ask you, what makes this bike suck, is it cause you have a bad experience with it or what, and the reason why I didnt post this in Mountain Bike forum because Im not planning to buy it yet.....

the reason why I didnt post this in Mountain Bike forum because Im not planning to buy it yet.....


Sorry but that makes no difference. Mountain bike related topics belong in the mountain bike forum. Off topic posts belong in foo. Rules are rules.

Go grab that thread where Siu and Phred went mountain bike riding together and drag it over here then...we can probably stay amused with that for a little while.

Not sure, but I think it has something to do with pandora's box. ;)

I was thinking something like that when I saw his post in Foo, and decided not to enter the fray.... besides, Mr. Smashy summed it up perfectly!

I understood it as how to preheat your wok...

:lol: :roflmao: :lol: OMG you guys are sooooooooo bad!!! Gastro you weren't supposed to say anything....(shame on you). :p

Wait, wheelhot is obsessing over another bike he is in no position to buy yet?

Whats wrong with the giant? Have you tried perhaps, oh i dunno, riding the damn thing more than once or twice?!

im just looking for fun.....

I dont get it, how come there is no action against R. Danneskjöld?

They've tried, but nobody can find his lair...besides, it'd be boring here w/o him.

Now one of the best members is gone because of wheelhack.

I dont get it, how come there is no action against R. Danneskjöld?

Becuse he's a secret agent working for an uber secret.......uh, I better not say anyththing more about it.

Wheelhot, if all you're looking for is fun, go out & ride your bike. And if it's dark outside, get some lights instead of another bike.

... nevermind, I realise that I wrote the wrong title

Did I miss something else? Anyone have a summary?

I just noticed that Pete's last user ID has been completely deleted.

Wheelhot's thinking about getting a second ride, I'd say the more the merrier.

...Mr. Smashy, check out the foo's title, I supposed to wrote that instead of this current title. Sorry everyone, my mistake

Great...be on the lookout for "Orren Boyle".

... nevermind, I realise that I wrote the wrong title
no you got it right:p

Now one of the best members is gone because of wheelhack.
are you sure about that?

Not anymore :D.

wow, my post got deleted too. probably because i said foo was weird.. i was holding back though..

[QUOTE=mcoine]wow, my post got deleted too. probably because i said foo was weird.. QUOTE]

You speak the truth.

At least this thread is still on topic.. the topic being "oh crap!"

I take it mods are going on a power trip again?

Uh, no. They're just doing their job.

Expat, come back to the BMX forums so we can make fun of your name again.
