Sled? Hmmmm. I agree my bike does not have wheels, cranks or chain stuff. But it does have: handlebars, stem, headset, head tube, forks, shocks, top tube, down tube, saddle, seat post, and most imporant...a rider.
Since I am riding downhill in the snow, I can do it more efficiently without wheels. And without wheels, im not sure that I need the cranks and all that other stuff.
So in the whole parts-of-a-bike pie chart, I would say it looks like a bike. I have swapped out only a few parts for other accessories which, by the way, HELP me ride better given what I wanna do. Which is: ripping downhill riding a DH bike, takin huge hits, then sittin on the chair lift relaxing on my way up the hill thinkin of my next run. Take a look at the pic. This doesnt look like a bike to you???
BTW, love you guys, but can someone who rides DH please let me know what you do in the snow? I'm gettin a little punch drunk by dooods who just wanna slam my fun riding style.
