Oh man that looks fun

Looks fast. How do you like it?

Well, so far I've done a whole lot of riding in the street and one really good dh run at Briones on a sick dh singletrack. I'm absolutely amazed at how well the damn thing sticks to the ground. The design of i8t makes wheelies and bunnyhops a little tough but I still gotta get used to it. It also clims pretty good for a 50 pound bike with tons of suspension, not that I really wanna do much of it tho. Dh is amazing, super soft and efficient. Well yea, all smiles.

Nice bike!!
Just curious Ian, how much $$ you got invested in it??

ONETUFF76 · 07-18-2002, 11:22 PM

how much travel do you have on it?

ianbike · 07-20-2002, 11:02 AM

I've probably invested total about $4500. If i hadn't gone through a bike shop for my parts I woulda only been into it about 3 grand. oh well, at least I get pretty much free anything for as long as i'm riding. The front has like 7.25 and the back is 7.6 but the 'claim' is that the back feels like 9. I've never ridden a 9 inch bike, but it feels a lot like my friends 8.5 inch dh bike. Either way I like it.
