Did the Emporers - mud ride, this bike is amazing - in the mud and dry - didnt notice my hand - had a really good fun ride - exept for the walking behind - slowwer riders....

Need a KORE seat post - with KCNC seat post clamp, And decent - newer wheels - then maybe an air shock - Fork???MTB00072010-02-03 10:20:01

Did a 20Km ride and felt my hand - but the ride was amazing... Cant believe Merida dont bring this full sus frame in to S.A. anymore.....

SLOWLY BEGINING UPGRADES, put on KCNC Skewers and Valve caps Added Easton Bars And Seat Post Kore stem.. after last ride Im convinced - my soul pedal buddy....... And its in the colours of - LIVESTRONG -

Thanks - crappy - Where u insured??

I will never move away from this suspension...........

Still in shock - cant believe how well this bike rides.........

Ride was great..' Still cant believe how conected this bike feels... I'll do a couch pic during the week - when my beautiful wife is not around and non the wiser, - or I'll be needing more surgery.......

well After my first ride in 4 months - This was the best ride in 6 years, although my hand was K A K sore after 12km at Rietvlei... I felt more in control than ever, before.. this bike is a real dream to ride... I cant believe more people dont ride a Trans Mission... I think I will retire with this bike.... dont care how yesterday the bike gets....

Specialized and Merida... Excellent XC full sus'ers Ditto above on testing ... And decent saddle and suspension components can make a diff.. See what fits you best

Thanks I still have a "Corky" - "retarded" - no offense - looking hand I cant close it fully and I struggle with basic stuff.. It hurts with simple movements

A set of Yellow Wheels and decent bars stem and seat post And its a Rad .. Ride

Yep its got a 130mm of travel when needed.. I am not to worried about weight - as I will be suppper sloooooow when I ride for the next month or 3 - need my hand to recover prop.... Which is why i got this all mountain xc .. ride.. But .... The big BUG bites and then we want to upgrade, - just the bars then just the seat post, just the stem, wheels, etc... etc.. So my challenge is to keep the upgraded limited......

Hopefully what a ride.. I will know on Sat!!!!!!!!MTB00072010-01-14 05:38:43

Thanks She - the bike - is still a bit heavy at 11.9Kg The stem; bars; seat post and wheels will need to "diet" So I begin a new year with a new project.. Hopefully my limited budget will keep me in line befor i drop $$$$ on her to make her lighter....

I posted in the hopes that a DH type rider would see the bike.. And possibly be interested in a decent ride.. at a steal.... I have posted her in the the for sale section aswell... In reality... Most people like pics, and find links irritating.. Thanks anyhow - for the Video linkMTB00072010-01-06 02:51:07

Nothing wrong with the Bike..' My hand is still fragile after my last op on Mon - I will not be able to do any rough riding for at least 3 months.. I need the Cash to sort Dr .. bills
