IbiS tandem running on "redundant brakes(two disc hydro plus V-brakes, on a 20MM FUNN fork
she is ready for pretty much anything
Nicolai M-pire,,pretty much as evolve of a bike as you can get,,well not really take a look at some of
THIS ONES
the day I finsih building it
Giant DH compare to the Nicolai is Flemssy, slow boring and it ride like a truck but still cool and strong to trash around.
My Little balfa FR, pretty much the funnest bike I ever have, super fast and reactive to any of your wishesis base on a VPP design and this day is being "Copy" used by Giant, santa cruz (blur) and Iron horse among others, anyway awesome platform, strong Honest,,yes HeAvY but so so tight is not even funny.
Old klein attitude with a hand made single speed hub, so silent so nice
"Pennytech" BMW R1100S made into as close as "dirtbike" as possible but still a 500 pound Pig nomatter what
OH YEaH I run all the bikes (exept for the Klein ofcourse) on king headsets,,some of them steelsets because what is the point of ussing anything else,,well the Nicolai usses a 1 1/2" so i have a cane creek at the bottom cup and a E-13 at the top to reduce the headtube stack but still keep it strong and working just fine
I also run all my bikes on 8 speed, because i think NINE speed only brings more trouble than benefitis at least on a Mountain bike use were derreileur hangers get bend and mud is all over the place, also collect "Old school" XT & XTR parts(oh and Suntour XC-pro) because even if they are heavier they work and work no matter what the only problem is that they are becoming very dificult to find this days..
