So heres my new bike. Thanks to all the guys at Adrenaline for all the help and making me feel like a good friend rather than a customer. Bike came in at 33.5 ibs.

sorry for the sketchy pix, these were taken in a rush.

Tiny low quality vid of me attempting a drop. about 2.5-3ft?

RacinJason · 08-24-2007, 09:11 PM

That is one swell bike.

So are you going to make the O'Neill ride now that you have your bike?

Rob · 08-24-2007, 09:46 PM

Aren't you glad I talked you into the XCL?

I actually have no ride, so I am trying to figure a way to fit it in my current car. Sorry if I don't go Gene. I really wanna go back to Oaks since it kicked my a$$ last time.

Hey I was already half way there, you just persuaded me a little further as well as Jason and Alan although unsurprising from those two.

genusmtbkr5 · 08-24-2007, 09:53 PM

This has climbs but, nothing like the 3 B's. Lots of rolling single track and stream crossings. Try and make it if you can.

Just in case you can make it:

Take 91 east to the 55 fwy, get off Chapman Ave, head south/east towards mountains and continue on Chapman(past Chronic tacos and The lot where we met for the Oaks ride), Chapman will turn into Santiago Canyon Road. Stay on Santiago Canyon Road for about 12 miles, make a left on Live Oak Canyon Road (Cooks Corner), we are on the right hand side 3 miles up the road.

Haha! Next time I won't add my own commentary. Anyways, bitching bike Gary. Make sure you lock it up tonight. Worse thing that could happen is to have someone steal it. Also, I wouldn't sleep with it, we ran over some reclaimed water.

RacinJason · 08-24-2007, 10:35 PM

Take off the wheels and your ready to go . If it will fit in a rx7 it will fir in your car.

That bike rocks. It can handle anything you can dish out.

haha yes I can talk up pages of nothing. Lets hope she holds up!

foofighter · 08-24-2007, 11:49 PM

i sometimes find myself caressing my bike and my wife gives me that funny look...and i say "what?" "it's healthy"

I know you've been looking and touching that bike.

genusmtbkr5 · 08-24-2007, 11:50 PM

Nice bike. Pm sent. Remember, you can always ride the Oaks. it's not often you can ride with 40 other members unless you're racing. I hope you and Andrew can come out. It'll be fun, just like I told you about going up the B's. You would've regretted it if you turned back.

The brews are on ice and it's time for bed. Hope to see you tomorrow and if not have fun at the Oaks.

Looks good man

dhmike · 08-25-2007, 06:28 AM

super nice !

integradriv3r · 08-25-2007, 01:52 PM

Hey Mudman was it your bike that i test rode today while waiting for the group to catch up? I had the Specialized Hardtail. If sooo.... YOUR BIKE WAS SWEET! Thats basically the bike that I want only it needs to be a large frame. Soon enough! Congrats on a killer bike man

Pain Freak · 08-25-2007, 02:24 PM

Looks even better now that it's got some dirt on it. Congrats on a sweet lookin ride!

Rob · 08-25-2007, 02:51 PM

Those Chumba wheels look like they can take some abuse.

J_Sims · 08-25-2007, 03:44 PM

Congrats... Looks like all the questions have been answered and journey of the build is complete... Good looking bike.. Now let's go get it dirty

Waldo · 08-25-2007, 04:45 PM

[FONT=Arial][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Congrats - that is a sweet ride! If you get a chance, how about posting up the spec list. Some components are obvious, but kind of hard to ID some others in the pics.

I'm a little curious about the weight. I know people build their XCL's for a variety of purposes and at a lot of different weight ranges. Is that weight measured by your bathroom scale or a high tech digital? What sort of choices did you make in terms of strength vs weight? I'm asking because I"m really hoping to be buying that same bike in the next few months. My riding is definitely XC-oriented and I don't seem myself doing any drops like your vid (at least not intentionally), so I might like to try a lighter build.[/SIZE][/FONT]
