All 2st Hey, Can I Join The Club, Too?

Maybe I'll have Eric take a picture of me sitting on it tonight so you can see how tall it is for me. Seriously, Eric estimated that both my feet are about 8" off the ground. It's probably only 6" though

For sure there will be some photos taken this weekend. Probably most of them will consist of Eric re-jetting on the trail, though

That bike is a red sticker. isn't it?

Yes

I don't think it'll affect me too much, though, as the places I like to ride don't have red/green sticker limitations. Besides, in the heat of the summer I'm usually bike camping near a river somewhere on the 610


By the way, I had Eric measure the space between my feet and the ground and it was, indeed, 8" exactly under each foot This oughtta be fun...

...

Well, at least the machine doesn't weigh much. My 450 will topple me like a ton o' bricks.

Yeah, I'm pretty good at riding bikes that are way too tall for me...since most of them are exactly that. I just use the terrain to my advantage and stop where I can get my foot down. I will lower this one, though, so I'll let you know how that works out. I think 3" is pretty excessive. I've never gone more than 1 3/4", and that seems to work out ok. Internal suspension mods are the way to go. More expensive, but the bike works a lot better that way.

I'm sure this one will be lower once we get the suspension broken in, set the sag and all that. I can always let some air out of the tires



WoodsChick

And always stop in a rut or by a rock, berm or tree stump.

Yep! Using the terrain



WoodsChick

Ha-ha! I just called you out in your other thread for forgetting about me


Congrats on the new bike! We can go through the teething pains together



WoodsChick

No kidding, it's getting crowded in here. Shoot, I had to elbow my way past the bouncers just to get in the door







WoodsChick

Your welcome.
