For now, I have Trail bear Freedomcross Ft & IRC mythos Rear(left overs). I have 2 set, so it'll be awhile till I mount something else.

Nice bike Nam.

As I was reminded of it again last night on the Fully ride.....Riding a ss takes commitment. Once you stop riding you lose some of that fitness and then when you go back to it, you pay for it dearly.

That being said, a ss takes a lot less prep and for some reason I still haven't figured out after all these years it's just a lot of fun.

FyrFytrRyn · 04-27-2007, 05:57 PM

beautiful bike nam... copy cat, lemme guess, your getting a road bike next right? lol. i kid, i love you. not in a gay way. unless you do, then im supportive but not participating.

jfromlv · 04-27-2007, 07:21 PM

Don't believe Ryan, Nam. Before you know it, you'll be sportin emo jeans, and you'll be all wrapped up in Mylar!

Hey Nam, I can ride everyday of the week if I get plenty of notice. I work grave yard, but I can schedule my sleep around rides. Let me know when you ride Whiting and I'll meet you there.

Burner · 04-27-2007, 07:46 PM

sweet ride!

I think you'd find those bars to be more comfy if you angled them down (toward the rear) about 10-15*

FyrFytrRyn · 04-27-2007, 07:56 PM

dont listen to J nam, i may wear emo jeans but the mylar was his idea!
