do I buy blue panaracers fire xc, or tan walls?

?

Or even...

^^ rad2themax... Might clash with my blue paint. do they work with tubes?

halos can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I've no idea if you can still get them.

I think they tend to go for silly money on ebay.

Ah thought they were yours ha... In that case, no, I am not spending daft cash on tyres for a bike that will probably never get ridden...

Look at the geometry on that FFS!!?

Looks like it belongs to this guy? Josh Bender.. Basically just set up to drop off steep cliffs..

He allways had really weird geo/parts overkill bikes..

You could own this lovable beast.

Argh! What's with all the stoopid mag wheels, no one ever wanted them.

^ Hmmm.. I can't help but like that one.

it's the first successful (from a functional perspective) full squishy. Amp A1 i believe it was called. first company to really put thought into the pivot points. It's a proper McPherson strut with a control arm.

bender is notorious for huge drops.

Very "ten years ago". Historically very important for MTB freeride, but luckily fell out of vogue.

There are a number of misplaced bikes in this thread, but this is most egregious error. this doesn't fit in this thread at all. This is a gorgeous bike made by Evil, one of the better companies on the planet. Been in MTB for ever and has pioneered some of the earliest and best chain-guides, a part nearly as important and ubiquitous as suspension nowadays.

i believe that particular bike has an adjustable headtube angle.

Dave Weagle heads up the design and he is quite well regarded. He is the pioneer for virtual pivot points. Appropriately named the "DW-link."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DW-link

"The DW-link suspension design was used to win six Elite level UCI downhill World Championships from 2005 to 2007, the highest contested level of the sport. This winning streak made the dw-link the most successful linkage suspension platform in the history of the sport of downhill"

Anyway that there is a sick sick sick bike. It is a different design and you'd be hard pressed to buy a better DH bike.

really nice classic bike. I don't know why you chose it, but you selected one of the first XC full suspension bikes. I guess everyone has heard of Tom Ritchey, but just to reiterate, he's one of the FIRST and most important people in MTB.

Point taken.

Just popped on my facebook feed, Jason McRoy's dual slalom bike, being sold now on ebay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261213717203?clk_rvr_id=478977656266http://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=2&pub=5574889051&toolid=10001&campid=5336525415&item=261213717203&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]

In 1995 Dirt was filmed in and around the grounds of Pete Tomkins’ house in Yorkshire.
It was a film about mates messing around on their Mountain Bikes.
An iconic classic, often copied but never bettered.
Jason McRoy would never see the final version; in August 1995 he was struck by a lorry on the A628 while riding home on his Harley Davidson from Steve Peat’s house.
The lorry driver was never traced.
Jason died at the roadside
In the film Jason could be seen riding his Specialized ‘fun’ bike, a specially-equipped bike that he used for dual slalom events.
This is the actual bike used and ridden in the video as well as being used in dual [SIZE=5]slalom events on the mountain bike circuit.
The bike is in pristine condition and has been ridden for about 10 miles since his death by his Mum, but has been regularly serviced and is in cracking condition

Gone but not forgotten

^ I have never seen that one before.
