[cat-i]

So: a bike is a bike is a bike and all bikes are fun!

 

but some bikes are more fun

[Guest agteros]

but some bikes are more fun

 

fun is fun.. but fun in the sun is better though!

hmmm... a leetle bitta fun vs a whole lotta fun sounds like "klein sondetjies vs groot sondes", "wit leuentjies vs bedrog" in the end it all (group in quotes) stay the same

tumbles WHAT is that - it's SO PRETTY!!!!!!

 

It's the Bowery. It's a nod to the bikes used at the '84 Olympics, I think.

So what do you ride that inspires you then?

 

This inspires me

 

 

 

Bianchi Inspires me!!

[Brighter-Lights]

I realaly dont like Giant. Their bikes are just so bland and uninspiring to me

 

Bland enough....?

(Madelein's Anthem X - built and customized by me)

 

Hope this is inspiring to you...

[Tumbleweed]

Brighter-Lights, that's a sweet-looking ride.

[EarlyBird]

Must admit love my bike!

Just ordered a Anthem X sure hope she is worth it. Never been a Giant fan but by the sounds of things I might just be a anohter convert.

 

 

Will let you know.

Bought a 2008 Anthem 1 frame (over the Hub) in June. Seemed like best value for money, although I did not really like Giant. I love it every freaking ride i do with it! the geometry is great, I find it really comfortable. Climbing, downhill, technical single track... although the new low riser bars are pretty wide, might still get grabbed by a tree that jumps out at me at some point.

I am finaly considering going for the full and maybe even ultra marathons, not just the 30-40-50km races.

 

Then again, I did upgrade from a hardtail, so any dual suspension would have made me feel this way.

I put Giant and Trek/ Bontrager in the same category- bland,uninspiring and ideal for old ladies on Sunday's to ride to church

 

RIDE SCOTT!!!!

I will rather take the Fiat Uno thank you!!! B)

[Jaco-fiets]

My fist mtb was a scott hardtail - i liked it

My 2nd mtb was a scott scale 40 - i liked it

my 3rd mtb was a giant anthem 0 - i liked it

my 4th mtb was a giant xtc 0 - i loved it

my 5th mtb is a scott scale rc - i really love it

 

My point is - if you like the sport the bike wont make you like it less

I prefer the giant's long geometry for longer rides - its more comfortable

I prefer the scott's compact racy geometry fot singletracks and climbing

Contador has won the tour on a trek and a specialized. If you give him a silverback he will win it again. Its all relative

[jcmeyerSS]

Wait till you ride Specialized B)

hear hear.

Scott breaks to much :-)

Rather give me a Mongoose

 

the thought alone makes me shiver
