I just got my dream bike. It's a 2001 Airborne Lucky Strike Full XTR-Airborne bar ends, skewers, seat post, cables, XTR Brakes-Selle Italia Ti Saddle-Bontrager RaceLite Wheelset-Ritchey WCS SpeedMax, Kevlar, Blue Sidewall Tires-Rock Shox SID SL-Chris King Headset-Race Face Stem & Handlebar-Time ATAC Ti Pedals-Cuissi Stainless Steel Water Cages. I love this bike!
The Lucky Strike should be called "Superbike" "It's faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to climb tall buildings in a single bound --- 'Look, up the trail,' 'It's a F-22 Raptor,' 'It's a Top Fuel Funny Car,' 'It's' an Off road Ferrari,' It's a Superbike....' "
This bike does it all. The Airborne Company is First Class, The Customer Service is First Class, & The Bike is First Class! "If you want to fly with the Eagles you can’t run with the turkeys, you've got to get Airborne sooner or later!"

Thank you Rich!
I am in love with this bike. I had a Fisher, and it was a great bike too. I just like they way the Ti soaks up all the trail trash.

I ride a Kona AA with Manitou SX-R front suspension and a combination of LX and XTR components. I know there's a lot of new stuff out there but this ride is really sweet and I don't see changing it for nothing.

Hell yeah dude!!! I really like the paint scheme. The whole bike has a great appearance to it, I can't explain. It just looks like a Mountain Bike. I dig it

Hey Seer, welcome to the Forums, and BTW nice bike. I'm a big fan of Specialized products! I had a FSR and currently have a P.3.

This thread is still going?!!? Thought I would reply. I ride an old Peugeot (popular here in Europe). It is a Columbus SLX/Reynolds 531 mix with an RST Mozo fork and a mix of old Deore DX and new LX/XT. USE seatpost (these are the best), 3ttt handlebars (Italian) and Wolber rims. I have had the same wheels for 5 years/6,000 miles and they have never needed truing!
I am surprised by the responses on this thread - I just asumed that all Americans rode the ultimate bikes - refreshing to see otherwise.

I'm new here, so I guess this is as good a place as any to show my ride...
Actually, it just one of my bikes, I also have a Ellsworth Joker, a Specialized P3, and for the odd XC race a Specialized Rockhopper FSR.

ummm.... I guess I should mention that the Norco is my first trials specific bike, and I usually ride my Joker.
The only advice I'm qualified to give is that after riding for years with suspension and several months freeriding with Boxxers, getting used to a fully rigid bike is painful, very very painful...

Hey Barhtrer,
Cool bike and very cool dog!
Male or Female? Couldn't tell from the pic!
Name?
Mine's a female and she's a great riding partner. She's a little mad at me right now because I haven't been taking her out riding at all! O.k., I'm a little mad at myself!

I rode a Trek 930 for a long time and stepped WAY UP to an Ellsworth Truth. Funny thing is, I actually like the Trek better!!!
