40+ lb range on that bad boy?!

Looks sweet. Its not like they haven't had some experience with bike building.I have a mongoose and love, albeit not a popular brand lately.

[Abstrakt77]

[bighit8]

I will take you up on that offer soon. I like to rides bikes!!!!!

[strobelite]

let me know when biggie!

i can take it to the shop and you can do some san gabes with it while im at work.

[bighit8]

Possibly this Tuesday, I come right past the area on my way to work( a few of us were talking about it in sycamore). Plus I want to ride the San Gabs some more. Thanks for the offer, very generous. Who knows, a Diamondback in the future??? If you want to try my Mongoose we can do a swap, its a Teocali Super.

[mfoga]

Am I reading that right though? It says there will only be 20?

[strobelite]

well..... i cant ride on tues, but a swap in good faith would make me feel better-since weve never met.

yep, only 20, but you can build your own.....

How the frame is different the the Mission? Where will you get the frame?

[bighit8]

either way, but an on the ride swap is better, since that would mean we met, and rode together."With other people": don't get any ideas buddy

[L8 APEKS]

It says the down tube on this special edition is straight gauge...and the head tube is 1.5"...don't remember what else. Basically, it's stronger.

[strobelite]
