My first MTB ... 2015 Jamis Trail X Sport, RST Gila front suspension with lockout, Altus derailleur and 27.5 wheels.
I couldn’t help myself, fell in love with the bike when I was just browsing the bike store. Mostly a roadie guy, but after riding on local trails I'm loving it. http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...d=524807&stc=1 http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=524805http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=524806http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=524807 |
Think I'm finally done with this...other than the bikepacking gear I need to buy for it. This bike is so fun to ride, I'm seriously considering selling my full suspension.

The Griffin is just flat-out crazy fun, and eats the sandy trails up here in the desert like it was purposely built for it. Since there is so much contact patch with the bigger 3" tires, I am actually much, much faster downhill on this bike, but only a slight bit slower than the Goblin on the climbs. I can hit 36mph on the Seven Sisters downhill section, whereas on the Goblin I am lucky to hit 30mph. Since that pic, I have shortened the stem, and cut the steer tube, so it just gets faster and funner!! |
Here is a recent pic of my daily ride. Just added the Pike, XT brakes, Renthal Bars and Stem.

Picked up an older Klein Pulse. In great condition, all original - I put new brake pads, brake cables, and new SPDs on, and gave it a good clean, and it's as good as new.

Got this in the other day. I was holding out for Airborne to restock the Goblin but found out it would be another 2-3 months and I couldn't wait that long. I ended up getting a really good deal through DB Corporate that came out cheaper in the long run.

First real mountain bike I believe it's a 07/08 KHS Lucky 7. Paid 600 which seemed to be a fair deal in my area for a FS bike. Plan to ride my local trails with it. |

Thanks for pointing it out, I thought something looked off but I wasn't sure what it was supposed to look like. |
The closed end rotates forward not the open end. Less chance of the clipped getting knocked off!
True on motorcycles and bicycles. Bike looks good otherwise. :thumb: |

Is that a Top Fuel 8? If it is, I have that exact same bike. :thumb:
I believe this is a 2016 model, I really enjoyed riding it. Only thing I missed was the remote lockout from my hard tail. |
