WACKAWACKAWACKA
post pics of it!
I'm taking it up to sopo soon, needs a few things, then fosho.
And seriously, first the Lemond and now the Mercier.....who sent you?
lol, diggin em brah. I'll ask around on that cog for ya
WACKAWACKAWACKA
sopo=southern poly?
lol What can I say? I love me some inexpensive bikes.
I appreciate it.
This is My DK Octane 24" above. I have 2 of them, a 20" Octane (also all black), and a Mosh 24"
I want to start riding again. I wish I could find a Diamond Back like I used to have.
You know what, back in the day (I am 36), a well prepped BMX bike was about $800 in 80's money, for a decent setup. Now, most off the floor bikes have 3 piece cranks, all sealed bearings, alum frames, and so on for $300 2010 money. I think we've come a long way.
anyone have a 15t cog that they don't want? lol
I need to upgrade s00n, my bottom bracket is shot
This is my latest build. 99 S&M Challenger.
I'm usually more into flatland bikes, actually kind of trying to find another.
Anyone here doing the dauset 12 hr race?
when and where post it up
I would love to do something like that, but mountain bikes are too expensive. Also, everytime I ride one, I destroy the rear wheel. lol
Thats why i have tubeless tires. No pinch flats
I think he was meaning breaking or warping the wheels. Tubeless are awesome though. I have rode them a few time and love them. Just got to getthe cash together to get some lol
One Big Ass Mistake America
yep. I fuck them up. Maybe one day Ill invest in a nice wheel for my old mtb.
updated pic of my mercier:
The race is sept 20th. Heres a link to all the big MTB races in GA.

Im doing the 8 Hours of labor and the 12hr Dauset race.
I wont be able to make many races this year due to me start college but I did the Snake creek races at the first of the year and will be doing the Black bear rampage some time in September.
Anyone do the 6hr at conyers? My mountain bike is broke so I couldnt make it. Having to stick to the road right now.

Flat Black Bike FTW!
it's actually a really cool chameleon green/purple! can't seem to catch the color in a photo though
I had a 1986 neon green Haro master.....
I am looking to get back into flatlanding..what is a good website for bike parts?
Oh lol well that would work too
taco'd my front wheel
so I upgraded my wheelset and went ahead and got a new saddle as well
picked up a 98 Klein Stage this morning. aluminum frame welded in the good ole US of A.
ok guys since yall seem to know a good amount about bikes im tryin to find some info on a Rand Nabisco Oreo Bike and so far i havent been able to find anything on it other than a 80 model for sale for $10,000 and another not sure of year for $55 but no info on manufactor, what their worth or production numbers. If anyone knows anything about them or were i could find the info it would be apprecated
Here's mine,
It's a Walgoose, I know. But I go it for $200 with a nice list of features:
- Suntour 100mm front shock
-Shimano Shifters
-And some off brand disc brakes. (I weigh about 300lbs and they slow me down)
That was taken at Fort Yargo. I'm hoping that maybe someone can help me out here; where the pedal crank attaches to the crank itself seems to be loose or something and you hear a clicking type noise when you pedal? Any idea of how to fix that or should I just let it ride and get another bike when some cash comes in?
"Yo son, u need 2 put dat chevy on some 4s wid a lil liff maine. An den get sum candy 4 it, den you have dat sh*t lukin rite"
your bottom bracket or crank arms may be loose, tighten them and the noise should go away..
I just started riding again after 15 years and decided to jump right in with a single speed 29er. Mine is the Gary Fisher Marlin SS,with my first upgrade being the Rock Shox Reba dual air. My Suntour fork was way too heavy. Next on the list are stem,seat,and bars. My girlfriends is a Trek 3700d,with a lot planned in the near future to lighten it up a lot and make it fit her better.
My brother just bought that same Trek, larger frame of course. He got it off Craigslist. Its funny how similar my Walgoose and that bike are. I mean, we have the same rear derailer and the same fork travel. I do like how much lighter his is over all, but on the trails mine just feels more nimble.
And how's the single speed deal work? I mean do you just have to keep a constant speed across the course? I'm really wondering how you tackle hills haha.
I tried that on the left one cause it kept coming off. I tightened it down pretty well, I don't want to keep forcing it on there cause I might strip it, it is walmart quality lol.
and heres my bike... 09 DB recoil.
upgraded rear dampening, OS bearings, FSA crank, Avid BB7 203/185 discs, Sram X-7 rear derailer, Tora 302 u-turn, Cane creek headset, Origin8 stem, FSA downhill bar, and comfy Serfas saddle.. maybe moreignore the plastic pedals, the Crankbrothers are in the car LOL
does the job pretty darn good considering i mostly do XC and downhill, even dispite what most will say about DB's
I really wanted a DB Overdrive 29er, but it's a little out of my price. Where do you normally down hill ride at?
"Yo son, u need 2 put dat chevy on some 4s wid a lil liff maine. An den get sum candy 4 it, den you have dat sh*t lukin rite"
the closest place i ride downhill is at sope creek... otherwise i go to blankets creek or the area around tallulah falls. some wouldnt really consider it a "real" downhill, but to me its going down a hill LOL

RBS,How do you like the BB7's? I am considering going to them on my Marlin.
they are honestly the BEST mechanical discs i have EVER used, smooth, consistent, quiet, and STRONG. i like them better than the Juicy series brakes, and those are hydros...
Bigt8ford,the SS is friggin' awesome climbing. Especially with it being a 29er. You would think it would be tough,but no having to shift and just pedaling through it makes it easier. I see you are in Barrow as well as me. If you like,I would be happy to meet you at Yargo and you could give it a shot. Not sure of your height,but it is a 19" frame,so it should be comfortable up to about 6'1"-2"ish,especially for test ride. Hell,if you ever just want someone to ride with at Yargo let me know. I'm always down to meet new people.
When it comes to your "walgoose",I believe the fork is identical to the Trek's. Her's is a Suntour as well.
Lol, I enjoy the down hill parts more but the hard tail part of my bike kinda kills it on some trails.
Well my frame is 17.5 if I remember correctly, but I'm about 6'6 so yeah. A 19 inch frame would be awesome. But I think my brother and I will hit up Yargo on Sunday if you're near lets hit it up. But keep in mind I'm still getting used to riding and building my endurance lol.

PM'd
hardtails arent that bad on downhill, just hop over everything..but yes full suspension does rock my sox lol
no suspension is where it's at!
@RBS, I ride sope and blankets pretty often, Ill have to keep a lookout for your db.
ahhh, well, here are some updates, new bikes, etc etc
fancy rims on the klein!
last pic of the Lemond (RIP)
got bored and put the frankebike together. It's a 69er. (26" wheel in the rear 29" in the front) It's the shit for doing wheelies lol
got a new frame to replace the lemond. Ill get some pics up of it soon
