I'm not really digging that Sunday coloring at all. I really liked the black/pink of the Expert or ? (one step below Elite), and even could've gotten into the 70s coloring of the Elite, but not really into the new one. I guess it's slightly "pimp" looking

Course, I have a rasta bike, so what do I know?

Sweeet Jesus..... Those bikes are sexy. I want them all!



Not sure about some of the color schemes. My favorite of all-- The white SUNDAY!
As for the '07 colors- the black/pink Sunday Expert was sweet!

It's just like a guy, looks aren't everything, but as long as they have all the right things on the inside. Besides, I think I could make those bikes look good..... (between my legs)

More 2008 Iron Horse Info courtesy of Pinkbike.

The 7Point & 6Point get slacker head angles.

Thanks Winston! Not diggin' the 6 point color schemes! I like the White Sunday Team as well as the Sunday WC!!

Big fan of the slackened head angles on the 6 and 7 Points! The HA (IS) the biggest complaint I have of my bike! The Slackened head angle was MUCH needed on the 7 point! Glad they finally made the change! What do you think?

Sincerely,
Your Biggest Fan!

The HA change could be nice but my friends and I haven't been complaining about it on the trails.

Another interesting thing about the 08 7Point is that the BB measurement is the same as the 6Point. Misprint?

They've also improved the cable routing a bit on the 6points (rear der. & brake both on the same side of the headtube, like the Sundays). It looks like they lengthened the head tube too. I wonder if the 1/2 degree slacker HA is due to slightly taller forks this year?

08:


07 (size large):


I like the new Sundays too. The WC looks sweet. I heard a rumor they might be anodizing the Sundays for 08, similar to the team bikes this year, but from the pics on PinkBike, it looks like they're all painted.

'07 team bikes (more porn for Dino):

Guero- In my opinion, the 6 point is the most complete frame in the Iron Horse line-up. Both in terms of sexy lines as well as for its "do-it-all" qualities. I am SERIOUSLY considering upgrading my frame to a 6 point!

As for Marshall's Bikes- I must admit The Man knows how to build himself some sweet bikes. Let's take a trip down memory lane.....

Turner 5 Pack-

DOH! I did forget the RFX and the Spot! I was soooo focused on the UZZI (I love that bike) I must have forgotten about the other two.

Great builds for sure!

Nice, looks like the 6points now have a real 1.5 headtube this year. Shorter chainstays too.

They kinda cheaped out on the wheel builds for the 6points, even on the 6point6, with no name hubs and lower end DT Swiss rims.
