Hey, I just got a new bike. It's a 2005 Iron Horse Warrior Sport with disks. So far I like it alot, this bike is only 19.5" which is a little smaller my 22" Diamondback Response. The Response was a good bike, but it was too big to throw around and it didn't take my punishment (4'+ jumps to flat) to well. I put almost 900 miles on that bike in only 6 months of riding. The geometry and position of the Warrior allows me to do tricks alot easier. It is very similar in perfomance to my friends STP III only it handles better on offroad terrains.

I like all the compnents but I think I might upgrade to a stiffer fork so I can go off of even bigger jumps.

I got this bike off of ebay and if anyone's intrested the seller has another one.

Here's a pic of the bike. I lost the charger to my digital camera so unfortunetly I can't take any pictures.

Its a pretty nice bike. But in the Ebay picture, what is that green thing in the front tire?

MattP.

where the heck is your rear derailleur?

onelessunicycle

i believe its a ghetto single speed

SHARKBITEATTACK

I think the green thing you're referring to is a cardboard packaging.

Like I said, that's just a pic I found on the internet. I left the charger for my digital camera at a hotel last week so I can't take any pictures. My bike is completely stock with all 24 gears functioning.

Oh, I see.

That's a nice looking bike. Have fun with it!

Be careful before buying this bike, I purchased a 2005 Warrior Race from Randal Scott Company www.rscycle.com The bike you bought might be a 2004 and not a 2005 model.
I cannot find specs for a Warrior sport on the ironhorse website which still has specs on it's 2005 models there.Their hardtail warrior models are "comp", "expert" and "race".

I might be wrong ,but this might not be as good a deal as you think.

Yeah i dont think thats an 05. I looked very carefully at the 05's and dont remember seeing a sport. The comp (lowest one) was blue.

Chaulk another reason up against buying online.

SHARKBITEATTACK

No, I'm positive it's a 2005 model. Iron Horse only includes they're premium top of the line models on the internet.

Anyhow I'd like to replace the fork, do the Marzocchi Marathon forks work well?

Flak

Wait, you're telling me that the Sport is only available online because its a "premium top of the line model"? Wow, my local IH dealer must be pissed that they only get to sell the junk.

Mate, i checked. You got duped. Ironhorse did not build or offer a "Warrior Sport" in 2005. That aside, its still a decent bike anyway.

SHARKBITEATTACK

Dude, do you ever think before posting? My Warrior is the bottom of the line in the Warrior series. It goes in this order, Sport, Comp, Expert and finally Race. If money wasn't such a big issue for me I'd probably own the Expert.

Not for tricks or any sort of jumping. They are relatively lightweight XC forks.

never

You could also ask yourself that question. Like why did you post a picture of a crappy singlespeeded bike that wasn't even yours?

And by the way....how are you positive that your bike is a 2005? Just curious.

Jason222

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Ironhorse doesn't show their crappy bikes online. There are a lot of bikes, like the ones at Sport Check, that arn't on their website. That's definately an 05 because the 04 had a Manitou fork, and the 03 had a Judy.

never

How can you say that it is an '05? We haven't seen a picture of the actual bike and the OP never indicated which fork the bike has.

Jason222

Use your brain. He bought it from the guy on ebay, and the guy on ebay is selling another bike EXACTLY like his. It has a Rockshox J1 fork.

never

If it was the same as the one on eBay, why would he not post the picture of that bike, or why would he not use the picture from his eBay auction...and how come the seller doesn't have any feedback regarding the other bike? Too many inconsistencies. And where does he say the bike in the auction is EXACTLY like his...he just said the seller has another. When you grow up, you'll learn not to assume so much.

mtnbiker66

Oh, name calling. That will get you lots of bonus points.

Jason222

That has NOTHING to do with this thread.

Ok, maybe he didn't feel like leaving any, or forgot, regardless it means nothing.

He has another, how hard is that to understand? Dictionary.com defines another as "One more; an additional: had another cup of coffee."

Let me make this more understandable for you, he has one more bike like that. Understand yet?

Flak

Not that it matters...because be it an 04 or 05 is irrelevent. Its still a pretty good bike for just over $300.

Although i emailed Tom at Iron Horse and he's usually pretty quick with the response. So we'll know soon enough one way or the other? If im wrong im wrong. I just dont recall ever seeing an 05 warrior sport.

Jason222

Thanks.

I checked at the bike is not listed on the ironhorse website but is a 2005 model, Ironhorse's official MSRP for the bike is $379.99 available at ironhorse retailers such as Sports Authority.
