Im not going to drag this topic but while I agree that in such case Id go for it I still wouldnt get many dh bikes like you have. Id like to ride some just for fun but would end up using one that is dialled. The rest of the cash would go into something usefull/fun. Sell one bike go to whistler/yurp/nz.
For 2 of those I would buy a used RC51 I think......

well demo, you almost earned your name.

Also, this thread should be renamed demo explaining why he has 4 identical frames.

sell one and buy a road bike.

Except demo 9 works full time in NYC making good money-to buy bikes of course :D
Arent you ~19-20? What jobs pay well enough at that age that when you would stop living with your parents the bazzilion bikes / season deal would still be possible. Are you a mafia debt vindicator?

Just because he is young doesnt mean he cant make good money, trust me. When I was 20-21 I was making up to 78.xx an hour. Age does not mean a thing bud. And stop whining that he has 2 new frames!

Naah Im not really against it and it is not my business how he spends his cash. Im just a bit suprised and curious how it is possible for him to support that kind of spending.

As for cash you mean 78$/hour? Seriously what job and If that is true than Im suprised anyone on this forum complains on bike prices if that is doable in the US.

2008 frame for 2011, 2012, 2013, ... and will be hung on my wall later :D

That looks awesome! Any closeups of the cutout detail on the uprights? Looks like you got some custom decals made to match.

As i allegedly be a typical dick, i dont have an issue with 2 demos and 2 for sale, it seems the RM population-maybe including you, does. Everybody is entitled to their opinion,which i respect. I happen to enjoy riding my bikes, and they all see use, id argue as much as most of the people on here, some of which may only have 1 or 2 bikes. I work hard, but i always find time to ride, usually after work and on weekends. (im 8-5:30) It may be your opinion to put your money in the bank (where you are earning almost 0 interest in an inflationary period)-im in silver and gold, i am doing very well.

My new (used) Giant AM/Mini DH Sled. It's and older model year, but the bike is in brand new condition. This is gonna be my do-it-all rig for 2012. Aw yeah.

Can somebody PLEASE explain to me how to add pictures. Second post now with pictures, and both times I can't get that sh*t to work. Gah.

^^here you go. just put the image address in img tags and you'll get your pic as above.



i have the giant ac air lite for xc/AM duties... 4.5, 5.15, and 6" choice rear suspension.

if you plan on using that for "mini dh", atleast get an angleset, because at 69* HA, it's far too steep.

imo, get a 160-180mm fork in place of that DC. you can make it a better 'good AM/FR' bike, than you would a 'good DH' bike...if that makes sense.

dear demo 9, I am better at spending your money then you are, wah wah wah.

But seriously, who gives a fyck, there will always be people who have more money then you, and people who have less. Run what you brung, and don't stress if somebody else has a cooler *set* of bikes. demo 9 is silly, but the amount of e-hate for him is sillier.
