Hucking Rig for the Season

[Pip3r]

Finally got this thing together. Got to ride it at a Canada Cup this past weekend at Bromont and get a feel for it and I am stoked on it.
Some changes still are going to happen, I just got a Manitou 6 Way to put on the rear which should be great. Also going to toss on an I-Fly seat and possibly some different Mavic wheels.
Huge thanks to our sponsors, E.13, Manitou, IronHorse, Mavic, Shimano, Hayes, SDG, FUNN, Michelin, Adidas, and 661. And Ricky @e13 for putting it together since it most likely would be in shambles by now if i tried to.
Anywho, its alittle dirty now from the mud...

Here it is a bit cleaned off, still have to really clean it up for the Open.

You didn't get a feel for it. You rode it like a friggin plastic saucer thing on an icy hill. Ugh - mud sucks! :D

Also, sick lawn.

[dG video]

Damn, nice lawn.
Pip3r wearing body armor? ohh noes

[mandown]

a dang fine lawn, i tell you what...

not a bad looking bike either.

[Motoking16]

dang, that is a nice lawn...well done...well done!

[Bicyclist]

That bike looks killer. I haven't really seen a Yakuza that nice before.

[Salami]

Also, sick lawn.


Agreed, that is a damn nice lawn. I could lay down and take a nice long nap in the sun after a nice morning ride. :thumb:

Nice bike BTW.

[Monkeybidnezz]

why no sundaY?

My sentiments as well, why not go for broke if you are going to do it...Nice looking regardless.

[Radarr]

Your chain looks a little long. Nice bike, though. It makes me want one even more.

I ran out of socks at this race :(

Piper, give me back the socks you borrowed!:mumble: make sure they're clean too. Ya sonuffa.

I left it long b/c we may have been making chainring adjustments. The bike has a fair amount of chain growth as well for that little mid-cage derailleur.

and you didnt even ride!

In any case, I still think that those are probably one of the best bang-for-your-buck bikes out there. They kick ass.

[Red Bull]

the whole e.13 team went for em...

[narlus]

the last two images are :redX:

so i can't comment on the lawn.

[manhattanprjkt83]

get the pics back up!

[Pip3r]

pics have been rehosted.
thanks for the comments.
the grass is always greener from the other side, but ive still gotta mow it haha.
I went with the Kumicho since IH hooked us up and we are confident that the bike is more than capable of being a contender. I am running a shorter shock on it and the geometry is extremely similar to a sunday which is the most important thing for me.

[Fury]

How'd your race run go?

Edit: Nice bike and lawn too!

[Pip3r]

did crappy at the race, I had just gotten the bike built the day before and It was my first time back since breaking my leg. I felt clean though I didnt crash but I just held back way too much the first half. oh well, live and learn. im just glad to be back rockin after my injury

[dexter]

looks nasty. 8 inch travis or 7?

[dump]

i'd race that :)

[RaID]

always like the look of them,

but you missed out on the best thing that comes with that bike.
The clear red E13 bashguard :D

[Cant Climb]

the whole e.13 team went for em...

...i bet it was voluntary too......:rolleyes:

[Pip3r]

im rocking an 8" travis, Heikki is running a 7".
And actually, it was voluntary to run the kumicho as I was the one that brought up the idea.

[Cant Climb]

it was voluntary to run the kumicho as I was the one that brought up the idea.

why...?..

[Radarr]

why...?..

Because they are awesome bikes.

[Smelly]

why...?..


Probably because they're cheaper than a Sunday and plenty capable of going fast.

"This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff."
