Some know, some don't, but I was bitten by a bug about (aboot, for Bret) a month ago. I saw a great deal on a Giant Reign over at wheelworld and got to investigating. Then, thephat posts up that they are clearing out their 6points over at the path. So, of course I had to pick one up. Anyway, here she is.

before (Tani sold me the stock cranks too):

After:

Picked up the wheels from the path as well, DT's laced to Hope Pro2's. Got the fork over at wheelworld, and most other stuff I happened to have.

All in all I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. I had a chance to test the ride out over at Oaks.

That bike is hawt! Congrats, eh. Make sure you still run crank bros pedals so I can ride that thing sometime

Chaos · 10-02-2007, 11:02 PM

Very nice Patrick! I got a chance to pedal a 6Point around once. Very impressive that DW-Link. Took it to the Oaks... where are the photos?

TrailJesus · 10-02-2007, 11:10 PM

If you dont mind me asking how much did that 6 point frame set you back? Nice looking bike.

mcgrath · 10-02-2007, 11:26 PM

thanks guys. It was just rob (tunerob) and I over at Oaks, no camera. Besides, I crashed going off the drop, how lame, I know. The descent down chutes was bitchin' though. Much more plush than the motolite, and it can only get better once I get it dialed in more. I couldn't tell if it climbed as well as the motolite though. the 3 b's were in great condition, better than myself as it turned out.

George, still running crank bros on it, don't worry. I won't get to ride it again for an entire week. Wedding to go to this weekend.

Oh, I picked it up at the path for $899.

Good looking build. Enjoy.

Bike pron rules! Nice rig!

Sprockethead · 10-03-2007, 05:36 AM

Nice bike Patrick, it's beautiful. I'd love to hear a comparison between the Motolite and 6Point some time. I know they're 2 totally different bikes, but it's always fun. Maybe a build quality comparison between Titus and IH? Congrats and I'm sure Mr. IH will chime in here and welcome you to the IH clan.

CalEpic · 10-03-2007, 05:51 AM

Very nice Patrick!

Did you guys put it on a scale?

dstepper · 10-03-2007, 05:54 AM

Nice bike, I also rode one over at The Path. I liked the feeling and geo of the bike...good choice.

Edog · 10-03-2007, 07:09 AM

I was looking for a 6 before I just built up my current ride, but couldn't find one. Better timing next time. Great Deal & a Great Ride. Enjoy

allison · 10-03-2007, 07:21 AM

I believe The Path still has a few 6Point's in stock! Call 'em up.

ghixon · 10-03-2007, 07:23 AM

Nice build! What did you end up using for brakes?

Greg

Dino Brown · 10-03-2007, 07:25 AM

That's the most beautiful bike I have ever seen!!!

Now if (ONLY) I can convince Steppie to get one.....

mcgrath · 10-03-2007, 07:49 AM

Thanks guys. Craig, I haven't gotten it on a scale, but I estimate around 34lbs. Not too bad. The brakes are Avid Juicy 7's. I have a 8" up front and 6" in the back. The 6" is just not cutting it. I guess I should wait until they break in, but I'm already thinking of putting a 7" on there. Maybe even the 8" I have.

Von-Diggity · 10-03-2007, 07:59 AM

You do know now that we are going to make you use that bike on some more challenging trails don't you?

scruffylooking · 10-03-2007, 08:13 AM

Hey Patrick, did you sell the motolite? Sorry, if you already mentioned that somewhere.
