    Yeah, I don't know what else to say other than I'm ridiculously jealous. The mach 6 has really grown on me.

    Dayummm.... That bike has every current top trend covered. 650b, carbon frame, carbon wheels, carbon cranks, 1 x 10 (11?), Pike, KS Lev, Hans Dampf (f), short stem, wide bars, XTR brakes, I9 hubs, Float xCTD... Even the rider - Poc helmet, Sidi shoes, Fox kit that matches bike. No pads... I dare say Salespunk has it dialed, and it appears he uses his bike on the ground and in the air. I believe we have a winner.

    :clap: :bang:

    Yeah, it's even better with a decent climbing gear on it.

    Randy, is that a 5010 or B? Guessing 5010...

    Alum Bronson looks great; I don't see a lot of them around. tt you are psyched...I've had a chance to warm up to my Bc, and it's really working out. It's a great tool for fun; comes alive in the rough and is a great pedaler.

    I'd say anyone out giving hell to a new bike is the winner...bikes are bikes. Cheers...

    Bike Warriors: Lenz Vs. Kona

    Bike Warriors:
    2011 Lenz PBJ vs. 2009 Kona Stinky Air Frame
    29" wheels vs. 27.5"
    Most Troublesome Build:
    Lenz PBJ--little things like some parts didn't fit as perfectly thus some filing down, spacers needed
    for crank, rear brake rotor didn't fit right had to do some mods, no cable routings for brakes and rear derailleur.
    Easiest Build:
    Kona Stinky Air--This bike has been around for years, thus all parts fit perfectly and didn't have any
    problems whatsoever. The only challenge was finding 27.5 rear tires that fit under the rear yoke with room to spare.
    WTF Dept:
    Forks arrived the same day. White Bros. WTF? They didn't come with any fork bumpers. So I had to measure the
    tubes and ordered Rockshox Boxxer bumpers.
    Lenz Time:
    3 weeks--mostly waiting for parts
    Kona Time:
    1 week--had it built in 1 day, although waited a couple days for 2 parts
    Most Dreaded Task:
    Building 4 wheels

    Jimmy Shine didn't choose the winner

    Rode the Bronson C for the firs time over the weekend at Whiting and it simply AMAZING! Smoothest and most playful bike ive rode by far. The faster you ride, the more fun the bike gets.
