Mmmm, I'm trying to figure out why it looks "cushiony"...maybe it's the lack of "nose hump" and that makes it look like there's more padding in the center. Or, maybe it's just my eyes. That's a very real possibility also

A medium frame? Cool. Once I saw it with tires/wheels on it, the coil shock looked HUGE for some reason.

I'd be more than happy to have that as my backup rig! Or even my main rig for that matter.

Hahahaha....Yeah, it does look bigger than it actually is in person. Here is a closer look at it off the bike I took a few weeks back when I thought I was going to sell it....





Hahahaha, the rear shock is pretty big though, it is a Fox DHX 5.0. It is 7.5" travel with the adapter on the front shock pivot. Came with frame. The fork is 6" travel.

Thanks bro!

Thank you bro! Yeah, I was lucky to get this one from one of my riding buddies to replace my IH Aniki FR rig, though still keeping that frame around for future use. I have much upgrading plans for this rig, especially a newer & slightly bigger fork....

I'd build a bike for my daughter. Used some parts I had in stock, some new parts, some from ebay and some parts friends gave me. The frame is new, got it for a nice price

It's a Cube AMS frame. Not sure if they're available in the US

Cube AMS WLS frame

Here's my new ride. It's not a mtn bike, but it'll make me faster on my mtn bike!

Raleigh Clubman. Steel frame and fork, 2x10 Tiagra drivetrain, Brooks saddle, room for 'big' tires, and came with painted to match steel fenders. I'll be using it for commuting, general road riding, and gravel grinder type rides. It'll be great when the trails are too wet to ride, or when I don't have time to drive out to a trail. Only got about 22 miles on it so far, but I've finally got the fit dialed. This weekend I'm do a 30-40 mile mostly dirt road ride as a proper shake down.

My new Specialized Stumpy FSR Comp 29er. She is a BEAST!

Awesome looking bikes, dgaddis and jtorlando25!


Careful on that Stumpjumper, jtorlando25. I picked up the exact same model and broke my collarbone on my second ride. Get used to the wider bars before tearing it up on your local singletrack!

Not a bad start, bro.
It's awesome you spent your savings on that Fuel instead of wasting it on a car.
I wish I had stuck with bikes when I turned 16 instead of blowing my cash on a car that just ended up making me more broke.... It helped with the ladies, but I rapidly found out that girls who will only date a guy because he's got a car ain't worth spit. And I never lived far enough away from my jobs that I needed a car.
Now all you need to do is find a girl that loves to ride, and everything will be right with the world.
My wife and I use those same fenders, they'll keep your frame nice & pretty too. I dig that color blue that Trek & Fisher uses.[/u]

I hear you! I learned my lesson too as I just got my car repossessed by the bank, I guess I bit more than I could chew this time.

Did the bike boost your confidence a little too much? or did you nick a tree and go flying otb?

Luckily the handlebar on my hardtail is even wider than the Stumpy's bar so I'm used to "sucking it in" around the tight twisty stuff. I do however feel like when I purchased the bike, it came with a bigger pair of cohones because I find myself going a lot bigger than I ever did before
