If i can find it, i will grind it.
6" does nearly everything.... cept big hucks to flat

yeah... it was bulletproof at like 40 lbs.

6" is pointless , and your still going to complain pedaling it, you complain about going down hill because theres freakin rocks. If you get a big bike get something big enough to ride some real DH on why waste your time on two bikes that are 1-1.5 inches apart just because you have already labeled yourself as a non- Dh-FR- anything else fun type of guy doesnt mean you cant push every once in a while. You already realized having too Xc bikes with flat bars sucks, whats the point of having two FS trail bikes

The Covert looks nice, but it's out of the price range. Thanks for the idea though.

How are the local trails going? It looks like there's a very good chance I'll be moving to AV this time next year.

Ricky, how's that for a further thread derail?

[Rockinthecasbah]

maybe we could talk about are favorite snacks and throw some politics in now

[Reedster]

I like anything sweet and I vote liberal democrat.

[onlyontwo]

I like cheezit's...they are great with some PBR. Reed would know

We still need to have some hop induced ideas on your next bike. Ride this weekend and then following?

Back to the regularly scheduled program...

Trails are going good. I got a new riding buddy, and he kills it!

Mmm, PBR. I might have to have one right now.

Good idea, but we start our road trip tomorrow. I think by the weekend we will either be in Utah or in Wyoming or Montana. We will be back before the weekend of the 9th, so maybe then we can ride and have some hop induced discussions. I actually purchased a couple of large Newcastles for the other night, but we never got to the point. They're still in the fridge and still cold, so we'll have to see how long they last.

Trails look great. I'll have to come up and check them out in another month or so when things start to cool off.

I don't blame you... It's hot up here. We'll have to go winter freeriding or something.

How much were you looking to spend on the frame?

[Rockinthecasbah]

i might ride my new motorcycle up and check your stuf out if everything goes as planned in the next day

I plan on buying a complete bike. I really can't afford to spend more than about 2K. I think both the Pitch and the Heckler can be purchased complete for about that price. Ricky also mentioned the Jamis Parker II, which is interesting too.

Yes to Winter freeriding.

Call or Email the guys at www.dropnzone.com and ask what kind of build they can do for $2000 with a covert. Allen did a great job with Jman's bottlerocket. Also the path can order transition and Tani is a great guy to deal with. Give them both a chance.
