I guess my bike belongs in this forum now

A copy+paste repost from the DH forum, but more suited to here...
It's built to race DH on, 'tis a shame I'm not a hucker at all.

only you actually run it like that... :eek:

Eh, singlecrown... pfft... that's not overkill though :D I'm happy with the feel of it right now, if I wanted a practical bike I'd build one (and am in the process of doing so), so I can leave this as the all-out race tank. Not worried about the headtube for a while, there's plenty of metal up front, and I feel I'll end up denting it in to submission before the headtube tears off. The fork and a few other bits will end up on a race dually I'm working on right now, but in the meantime the hardtail is teaching me how much fun out-of-control riding can be.
Hmm, maybe I should go find some stairgaps or something instead!

Oh, and Toshi, that Imperial is megacool, I'd ride it :thumb:

DC's on a Hardtale are a crime against nature!!!

i ran an 02 supter T on a kona stuff for whistler a few weeks ago, it worked, because it was what i had. its not practical for everyday riding, but it rides ok. my favorite bike that i've ever owned was a 2004 kona cowan with a 2001 6" super T

[habitatxskate]

i would cry if your bike fell in the water

[***MTB***]

awosome bike

[DanD15]

I like it

[Changleen]

I agree. Dual crown on hardtails nearly always look ghey. And sorry, you're just not that hardcore.

[formermtboarder]

6" single crown is the way to go on a freeride ht ie 04 bighit comp

[formermtboarder]
