I got hurt pretty badly while riding at Mammoth last season when I broke my c7 vertebra and have been off the bike for a long while. Now it is about time to get back on the bike so to speak and I thought that getting a dj bike to play around on would help me get back into the swing of things, something I can ride closer to home where I've been digging.
Anyway here it is :monkeydance:
(:busted: and yes I know the seat is high :busted:)

hmm, really what I meant is I have a "backyard setup" of sorts to ride it on rather than going up into the mountains like I did w/ my vp-free
so play around in that sense

That's the only thing about your bike that isn't fancy. I want to see some picks of you "playing around".

pause.
looks super sick, the weight weenie of me has been interested in the 710sl for a while, but the part of me that hates snapping chains has been scared. does it feel strong?
i'm going to guess 26-28 pounds, based mostly on the fork.

710sl is strong enough to be a on a street/park bike that sees plenty of grinding.
i've been using 710sl's for past 5 years. they rule.

Superco's look amazing with those super clean lines...very nice build too. That thing has me thinking about getting a 24.

I'm adding this to my (very short) list of all time favorite bikes.
Also probably one of the nicest (gloss) black bikes I've seen.
I've seen 2 Supercos in person and they are very very nice frames.
Enjoy that slick ride!

Wow, coming from "the man behind that red and white bike", that's one hell of a compliment.
I have yet to see any in person, but I'm mighty curious.

yeah, that's an awesome rig man. that stem = $$$, you can't beat it with a stick.

check ebay periodically, I got it for like 50 bucks and I think it is normally 90?
spent a few months getting all the parts so I was able to ebay warrior a few of them (like the fork)
stoked on that

I got to ride one of the proto Satellites, and it was so dope it made me actually consider buying a 24" bike. I still haven't, but if I do, that's the one. Immaculate build quality goes into the frame.

Killer build. It's too clean though. Go dirty that baby up.

yeah, I've cut the seatpost, dirtied it, and crashed it since then. It was a faceplant and my front teeth were a little loose aahaha.
