[Jesus]

[bizutch]

Isn't that the bike that convinced Brian Lopes to quit racing downhill...? (Latest Decline mag.)

 

[johnbrittain]

how old is that?

 

[scofflaw23]

ummmm...7 speed + Grip Shift 9.0 = NO!

Umm...maybe it has a 9speed cassette and a 9 speed shifter with a 7speed era derailleur? If the chains fits in the cage and the cable pull ratios are the same, this will work just fine. The shifter and cassette dictate the speeds, not the derailleur.

Wait, is that a Super VVPP?

 

[SebringMGB]

oh man.... i wanted that bike BAD. not as bad as the fulcrum, but damn, what a nice picture it would make, as sgd said

Thats a 1999 frame, I remember when that frame came out in late 98.

is that like some special DH lefty or something. or were they just alot beefier back then. the ones nowadays look puny compared to that thing. atleast it looks like that from the pictures i have seen.

It's proberly like it says, a 7 speed cassette and mech and a sram 9.0 shifter.
If you use the 8speed version of the shifter you just have an extra unused click on the shifter.
