Default 7 point 7 deal

They have an 06 Iron Horse 7 point 7 at Aliso Performance for $2300 size large 19" Seems like a killer deal. Down from $4200. Bike is loaded in Black, they also have a Carbon GT I drive for about the same!!!

Oh noooo!!!! The Iron Horse Mafia is big enough already. I'm curious though on how good this bike is. I too saw this bike at Performance and Dino Brown's voice magically snuck into my head and said "Get it...." hehe

Also if you happen to have a Performance member card you can recieve 10% back which would be good towards some bike accessories but they don't really stock very good stuff.

The bike is EXCELLENT.

I have three friends smiling big on 06 7Point7's.

They pedal very well, are tough and don't require frequent chainstay redesigns.

Yes he is...I think he almost had one of these

Too bad it's not a small or medium

1) The parts package on that bike is WICKED!

2) The frame is bombproof

3) To say the bike pedals well is the understatement of the century!

4) Winston has TWO friends who are enjoying their 7 Points? The bike is excellent? You are too funny Winston!

A bit of history about Winston. He is a freeriding legend! His band of freeride misfits are So. Cal. legends! He may own the most famous 7 point in the entire world! He launches his bike off terrain most people wouldn't climb down! He tried and tried and tried to break his original frame- couldn't do it! Decided to buy new one- still can't break it!


My point? If one is considering a freeride bike, the 7 Point should be (somewhere) on your list of possible choices!

Have a nice day!

Thanks Dino. I leave most of the lauching to my friends, but yes the bikes are stout. The 2005 7Point7's are still going strong.

Is the 6 point 8 your first Iron Horse? If so, welcome to the tribe!

Hucking sick curbs?? Winston considers "10 foot ledge drops" to be sick curbs! Careful with your words Son!

Yup. First one. I'm trying to keep it under the wife's radar. She thinks two mountain and two road bikes are enough.

I forgot the two cruisers. One is a 1957. One is my wife's So she has one and I have 6. That's fair... Right?

PS: I have a customer that makes bike racks, you know the kind that you see in bike stores. So for all you bike whores I might be able to get you some kind of deal. Just send me a PM and I'll see what I can do.

Don't worry about your wife. Throw a shorty stem on the 6 point, drop the seat and push the seat rails as far forward as they will go. Tell her it is her bike! Worst case scenario, it will buy you enough time to come up with a better explaination. Gald to be of help!

As for Winston denying he "launches" his bikes- Whatever Man! Don't make me bust out the proof!

LOL! She knows better. As far as Winston. I think it will take him a bit to come back. It would me!

Nice.. I thought about doing smoething like this, but I am blessed with a very tall ceiling in the garage so I got some of those plastic coated wheel hooks and went to town. ONE9, RIP9 ,ASX, Specie Allez RD,Blue beach cruiser all hanging from the roof and the best part is that with the Garage door open you can not see a thingToo Bad I have to move soon
