haven't had it yet, if you mean slip forward in the dropouts.
i have had it slip in the mud... but i'm finding fg i can control it better than on my mtb.

i'm not racing though... built it last winter for a snow ice bike and really like it.
put some pasela's on it but went back to the cross tires.
nothing really to steep or too wet, yet.

Great looking ride. Love the metallic grey with metallic blue.

a sneak-peek at what i'm concocting at my bike co-op, so far everything has been "bought" with volunteer hours

(that's orange cable housing wrapped around the stem)

So good.

I need one of those for this coming winter

woo! Girvin!

That was my freinds first(maybe second) mountain bike. The memory of that purple tail dissapearing up the trail on climbs is still fresh. It got hit by a car and totalled then was replaced with a stumpjumper.

Putting random brightly colored stuff on there just looks like ****.

DO NOT DO THIS. I am guessiong you are just ignorant but skidding on the trails is not acceptable behavior. If you know better you are a peice of **** and i hope something prevents you from ever riding off road again.

Do not skid off road. If you cannot control your fg bike wihtout skidding get two brakes. If you still can't get a freewheel. Now that you know better there is no excuse.

You didnt give him a single reason not to other than calling him names.

This morning, I skidded through a patch of endangered-species flowers, the petals of which contain the cure for cancer. In the process, I destroyed a fragile ecosystem and displaced a family of cuddly groundhogs.

Most mtb trails have signs posted about skidding. It chews up the trail and ****s with other cyclists.

Cyclists skidding on the trails is the #1 environmental problem in America today.
Didnt you hosers see the Al Gore movie?..jeez.

Maybe not the #1 environmental problem but it is still a problem and the primary reason we loose trails to ride on. I agree with Twe and Dutret. If you aren't going to leave it as it was before you got there, don't go there.

groundhogs ARE cuddly... but are horrible drivers and have no respect for commuting cyclists

Skidding on MTB trails shows the lack of control you have over the bike and the lack of skill you have as a rider.

Thats a nice Rush Hour! I just got mine so its still stock, I really like the look the frame and fork on these. As soon as I actually see the bike and want to take its picture rather than ride it I will post some pictures of it.

I love the stem on the rush hour. What is it? Props on the bike it looks great! My bike is the same color with white deep V's looks real similar. How does she ride?

The stem is a 3T Mutant. Out of production.. I have one and I think it's one of the coolest stems ever made.

Kinda looks like the cinelli groove.

MIN is right. its a 3T. I found at "used" still in the box, for 20 bucks at my LBS. It was a good score. The bike rides great. I sometimes wish the frame was just the tiniest bit taller, but that's mostly an aesthetic thing.

it also shows a lack of respect for what you are doing and the other people doing it

Plus it makes the person who built the trail want to hunt you down, and well, you can figure on what follows. Hint: Pain.

"new" xcheck. Wheelset is temporary off a Lemond project until UPS refunds me some bills for the aero pro they destroyed. Going to see about putting a pair of salsa drops on it, but don't really know how much use they would get. Probably going to buy them anyway (16bux) and mock them up to see how they feel. Worst case scenario, I use them on another bike.

Oh, and I need to cut the # of times it says "surly" to at least 1/3 of what it is at now.

My fixers...

Just temporarily fixed gear for now: my '86 Gazelle Champion Mondial. As I was telling the C&V crowd, I'm slowly collecting a Suntour Superbe Pro group, but I couldn't wait to get it on the road so I threw on my fixed wheel set. It's awesome. Now I'm thinking I'm going to have to troll eBay for a Gazelle pista...
