This is a very cool bike. Oddly enough, the first thing that came to mind was, "This bike reminds me of Reptile from Mortal Kombat." :thumb:

Oh crap, man! That's a refreshing site. I love the Biggun's rides! Dead sexxy fo sho!

You're on the right track now C³! That's one of my fav's! Here's a few more exclamation points for ya!!!!!!!{!!}

the bike is a blast to ride but it's almost too much for the local trail stuff unfortunately. Lugging this thing through rock cemetery like trails is pretty lame but when you do get to point it downhill and huck it off a couple drops you almost forget about the weight you had to push to get there. Also wish it was a smaller size but oh well! RIDE IT TIL IT DIES!!!! <-- exclamation points for ya.

Scored this seat from a thrift store got it for 50cents and its in better shape than the same one i had before that i paid 120bucks. Im pretty sure it hasnt even been used before, i love finding stuff like this

Great find! I thought my eBay saddle for around $30US (IIRC) was a good deal. I gotta start checking flea markets & such.

Mmmm, new bars. Woodchippers.

thanks for the kind words.
i haven't done anything to it in a couple of weeks....so i guess i'm finally done with it?!

i am always finding stuff like that the frame in that picture i bought for 8 bucks from a bike co-op and the bars and stem i bought from a bum on the side of the road for 10, both brand new eastons i mean sure they're ea30s but 10bucks is 10 bucks.

Until today, I only rode road bikes and commuted to work. But I needed to keep up with my friends who had transitioned to MTB. So I bought this bike on ebay and baptized it today on my first ever MTB ride. This is a crazy sport, so many challenges and skills to learn, so much fun to bomb down the single track!

i just built up this 93 zaskar le, i still need somethings but it should be a fun bike.

Thanks! i really want to see how it will handle the trails. I know it won't make me park my on one but should be a fun change of pace.

Here is the finished product............

wow that hurts the eyes.

Wow the coloring on that thing is awesome, I would be scared to use it!!! Looks great

I think this bike got lost on the way to the road forum.

lol yeah. they're dirtdrops and xc saddle though. just took off the knobbies.

This is why a road bike and Mt bike should never breed. Really is a cool bike.
