Sorry, I don't have a Turner. Would love to have one though. I recently did a complete tear down and rebuild on one. I don't think the guy "EVER" took the thing off-road. Talk about a waste. Definately NOT the bike for just riding on the road. I mean, to spend that much money for a bike with so much travel, that'll really be SLOW on the road????

I just don't understand some people! Either way, I got to spend some time "test riding" yeah that's it, "test riding" it, and to top it off, he gave me a 6-pack for a tip!

Very cool! I've seen the 2003, and I like everything they did, except the 1.5" headtube. It's just such a killer ride... a2psyklnut, you should have liberated that bike... a life without dirt is unfair.. it's like not taking your dog for a walk!

I don't have a downhill bike but I would rather be going down than up or on the flats. I ride XC and some of the people I ride with cringe at the site of me bombing down some of these technical hills. Don't get me wrong... I do enjoy the climb too... you won't see me walking up the hill with a "pushy". LOL
