crashtestdummy Posted August 16, 2011 Share Stunning bike, just out of interest what's that XL frame going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 16, 2011 Share Damn fine looking bike there, RAB. Impressive to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jarryd Haley Posted August 16, 2011 Share thanks guys!! Took her out for another 3 hours before work this morning... The element 29er is really cool too!! The aluminium element 29ers are coming in towards the end of the year, and the carbon ones should be here around the middle of next year!! Have you seen the Vertex 990 RSL?? Its their Carbon 29er hardtail- !! Will hopefully be getting my hands on one of those soon too!! @crashtestdummy: asking R22500 for the frame. will post more details in the for sale section as soon as I take a pic or two of the frame... Just need to find the right couch to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashtestdummy Posted August 16, 2011 Share It'll never sell if you don't get the couch right ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted August 16, 2011 Share don't think the white fork works with the rest of the bike...surely it should be black and red too. i take it you're involved with RM..nice bikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jarryd Haley Posted August 16, 2011 Share Never mind the bike, its about the couch!! @ stevect:I agree that black forks with red decals would have looked the dogs bollocks!! The white one came with the XX kit, so im not complaining....Ya, I ride for Rocky Mountain and Syncros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OriginalSpartacus Posted August 16, 2011 Share I like the red graphics on the frame, looks sick!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jarryd Haley Posted August 16, 2011 Share @CAAD4: Hmmmmm, could be, although there arent any here yet, as far as i know. I will have to follow up on that... There are Altitude 29ers here (for quite some time already)- sure it wasnt one of them?? Just checking, although im sure you know the difference. @The OriginalSpartacus: Thanks!! As we all know, red is fastest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted August 16, 2011 Share I have had my eyes on this to replace my ZULA... But the zula is getting a make over, so let me see how that looks first. this will be nice and light though, as you prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jarryd Haley Posted August 16, 2011 Share @Bos: You will definately enjoy it!! Not only is it light, but its stiffer than a teen at a porno convention!! thats also thanks to the Syncros wheels and bar and stem!! It climbs like a dream-loads of traction, and descends like a mini dh bike!! Just so much fun to ride!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udxcob Posted August 16, 2011 Share I am not quite sure how that rear shock works, it seems it pulls more than pushes (if you know what i mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jarryd Haley Posted August 16, 2011 Share The only thing it pulls is good reactions ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
