Ok... how so? (besides the price point) I can't see a bike getting any more perfect. It has all top of the line components and completely adjustable suspension up to 6.5 inches. All of this from a pure carbon fiber frame with the frame set (with shock) weighing under 7 pounds and the whole bike weighing under 30. It ways less than my current hardtail!! :eek:

what makes that worth 4 g lol
My Dream Bike - UE-Maxx - 04-29-2006
The carbon fiber frame, hydraulic disc brakes, . . Dan can tell you more.
They are so much fun to ride.
My Dream Bike - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 04-29-2006
lemme rephrase that why do u need something that expensive as opposed to something thats like a grand
My Dream Bike - FreeRideFrosty - 04-29-2006
It isn't what makes it worth $4000... its what makes it worth $7500. That is the actual price... $4000 is what I can get it for.
It is the only bike of it's kind. The frame is variable from no rear suspension to a full 6.5 inches. The shock has endless tuning possibilities, most of which can be switched while riding. It has one of if not the best fork on the market. ($1000 Fox 36) It has the best hydraulic disks (Avid Juicy Carbon) the best components (SRAM X.0 and XTR) one of the best wheelsets... EVERYTHING. It is lighter with that much suspension than my bike with no rear suspension and it probably pedals better in every situation. The components alone would cost about $7000 so for that bike $4000 is a steal. I need to sell a lot of chit though...

Because I already have $2000 into mine and it isn't that great. LoL Granted I am very happy with my bike but for that price that is the only bike I would ever need. It is amazing.

Now if I could just tell everyone who is possibly going to give me anything for my graduation to just pool their money together and give it to me in a bike fund I would be that much closer. Every time I see it I just think of more stuff to sell....

My Dream Bike - Ponch - 04-30-2006
That is ALOT dan...Jeez...The most I've ever spent on a bike was $352...My haro that I have now.
My Dream Bike - t to the maxx2 - 04-30-2006
My 8th grade graduation gift was a trek 4900. I love that thing to death. It is the best bike I ever owned, and we are a big biking family. In the psat 18 years , between me, my bro, my sister, and parents, we have had around....30 bikes. Most bikes we give to my dads employees when we get new ones, so currently we have 7-8 bikes
My Dream Bike - Michowski - 04-30-2006
im on the road of picking up a 26 inch mongoose bike. Full suspension and hydrolic front brake. They got like a 150 model and a 180 model for $150 to $200 for each. Its hard to see spending 200 dollars on something you pedal but I cant even imagine 4000. But every hobby is like this. Who would of thought of spending 2000 dollars for an all aluminum t-maxx when they first started? I thought it was absolutely the dumbest thing ever in the world and like a year later mine was about 98% there to a full supermaxx lol. If you get the bike enjoy it.

Nice bike.
The only thing we all have in common on this board is the love of RC's. We all have separate hobbies besides RC and no one is going to "get" why someone else likes something so much.
My other hobby is buying CD's, no I don't burn them. I want the actual cases that you get when you buy them. Plus I think if you like a band so much to listen to their CD then you should go out and buy their album.

My Dream Bike - rocco79 - 04-30-2006
is a 4,000 dollar bike gonna make any better at riding a bike???
My Dream Bike - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 04-30-2006
no but i bet u will be as skinny as Joe when u are done
jk LOL

Czech-it-Out Graphics Wrote:no but i bet u will be as skinny as Joe when u are done
Yeah... because I won't have money for food. LoL
And rocco... it would not make me a better rider. It would better allow me to use all of my current skill and then build upon it as I would anyway. It is just lighter, faster, more efficient. (Doesn't hurt that it looks nice). I have almost $2000 into my bike right now and I wouldn't say it is anywhere near half of that bike... that is the disapointing part. LoL
And Michowski.... do you have a link to this bike?? Something is not right if you are looking at a bike with hydraulic disk brakes on it for under $200. Just my hydraulic brakes cost me $200 new off of ebay, and those are the cheap ones. My friend just spent $350 on his... EMPLOYEE PRICE!!
My Dream Bike - Michowski - 04-30-2006
sry its just a disc brake. None the less I still think thats pretty sweet for just a mountain bike. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3610588
My Dream Bike - FreeRideFrosty - 04-30-2006
I would STRONGLY encourage you to get something else. Spend a little more and get a simpler name brand bike that wont be a total POS.
My Dream Bike - Michowski - 04-30-2006
why is that junk?
