Anyone here into Freestyle Mountain biking/ dirt jumping? I've been thinking on getting either a GT Rukus, Mongoose Fireball or a Cannondale Chase 4 since I never fit on a standard BMX bike. Anyone have any experience with these?

eunos1 · 07-29-2007, 10:36 PM

Sope Creek in Marietta, pfffft. I recognize Blankets Creek in the first pic. Vickery Creek is in Roswell but has been off limits to bikes for some time.

I'm game, I live next to Blankets and ride 3x a week or so.

eunos1 · 08-01-2007, 07:04 PM

I like Blankets creek too, I just figured that Sope Creek was a better ride for a group. Blankets you have to ride single file on the singletrack and its hard to laugh and cut up with others. I go alone when I want to train or with only one other person.But anyway whatever...I dont care where I just thought it would be fun for some Miata guys and/or gals to have a fun little ride. I think we should have a slow group too for the stragglers that dont ride much. I'll be the one at the back of that group!

gigglesnirt · 08-08-2007, 05:33 PM

Nice a bike thread, i dont really ride much but this is my cruiser for big races out at the track to go scoot around on in the paddock area. Its an original schwinn stingray i origianlly bought when i was 15 at a yard sale for $30 but man was it fucked it could have been turned into a rat bike. anyway from there i spent about a year just compiling parts and getting things painted and after about a year it was put together and is how it is now. Since then i never had a use for it until going to big races at the track and cruising around on it and tons of people seem to want to take pictures with it and things its really a lot of fun. Anyway here's the pic ignore the toilet in the background lol

eunos1 · 09-12-2007, 08:01 PM

No I saw it at I think Roswell bikes??? But Outspokin is definitely my favorite shop!!! Top notch staff there. Do they have an Onix there?? Havent been in a while.

PYTHON · 09-13-2007, 03:19 PM

dude you suck! i wanted to get a bianchi so bad but none of the LBS sell bianchi and they are $$
i road a giant OCR1, OCR 3, Trek 1000 and Trek 1500 but the lemond felt more comfortable then the other bikes so i came home with me.

i need to take pics for everyone.

arcana · 09-13-2007, 06:40 PM

Hey jmack, since your girlfriend doesn't ride that Cramerotti anymore, how much would you be willing to sell it for?

slevin · 09-13-2007, 07:55 PM

heres an old centurion i got at savers for $24.

stripped and paint white, new wheels, brakes, pink brake lines, pink painted chainring guard, pink lip on the wheels, and handlebar tape.

freedomgli · 09-13-2007, 08:40 PM

Cramerotti and pink fixie are cool.

LOL, it doesn't look that like that now.. unfortunately. The front aerohead wheel went to the Bianchi after I broke the stock one 140k from my house (damn climbing wheels) and the spinaci's are somewhere in my basement, seat is gone, left shifter fried, deda stem given away, etc etc

All I have left are the pics of it's glory days. Special bike though, I put about 22k over 7 years on it and did my first 300km ride on it, rode it to school and work for a long time.

I kinda wish I had 5 more frames like it though. They are great rides and cheap, I think the frame was $400 or something.

I got a major deal on my Bianchi.. was 2002 stock, bought in 2004. The retail was $7499 :shock: but got it for less than half.

jsigone · 09-17-2007, 12:26 PM

Here's what's in my stable

Somewhere on the southgrade going up Palomar on the SS (48x18 gearing)

At the top of Palomar Mt. on the geared bike

Top of that DH run @ Sycamore Canyon (SD)

I_rike_beer · 09-17-2007, 01:30 PM

I don't know if they have one in stock but they do carry Orbea. Yeah, it's a great shop to deal with. I even stayed at Kevin's (the owner) parent's house in PA when I did the single speed world championships in '05.

Sid · 09-17-2007, 02:10 PM

Anyone have a good tip on a sub 300$ MTB that I can ride around town?

jsigone · 09-17-2007, 03:01 PM

I always enjoyed riding it better than any of my bikes, so smooth and fast.
