Got of the bus from school today and went straight to the LBS to pay the last installment for my new bike 
Just got back from riding it and i am just amazed at the difference between it and my "old" bike...it just beggs you to go higher and even on little tiny jumps it seams to just float up into the air!
its basicly the same as the Flow Drift 24" yopu can find on the Flow site...but mine has Hope E4 brake
|
JAW
|
nice! i like Flow's 'simple yet stylish' approach to making bikes.
Where you gonna test it?
|
Heffers
|
I already have done at my local.
Rides soo sweet, just loves to be in the air..i think it might have hidden wings.
going out now again to ride it
|
JAW
|
Nice! I do be getting a hardtail soon, hopefully. that is when i've paid off my stinky....
|
Ben03

JAW
|

Reckon I'll be upgrading the brakes first. Prob keep the gears for the mo...
Your rear wheel 24" Jedi? So slick in all black...
|
jedi
|
24" of course!handles way better than 26" rear
|
Heffers
|
26/24 seams weird to me.
What forks are they?..Manitou Dolarados?
looks mint tho
|
jedi
|
dorados????over priced,no turning circle tat!
shivers!
|
Heffers
|
what are they then?...just curious cos you don't really see many inverted forks these days
|
jedi
|
shivers

Heffers

lol! does it not feel weird having a 26 front 24 rear combo? (penny farthing style?!)
|
Ben03
|
Believe Specialized did a run of 26/24" Big Hits at one stage.
|
jedi
|
the original big hits were 26/24 demo's have 2 settings one for 26" one for 24"
|
Heffers
|
i rode one a few weeks ago and to me it just felt a tad funny...span up quicker tho...only advantage i can see really...perhaps this is for a new topic rather than this one?
|
jedi
|
increased stand over hieght,make it more manourverable on shore.handles sweeter
|
abruce

Thaught i should finally add my gorgeous bike to this post....
What a relief to see a proper bike finally!
aha
|
Heffers
|
proper bike...shouldn't you be posting up the Patrot in that case? 
|
abruce
|
aha shut up!
naa i wish i'd taken that pic with the ptriot next to it... you don't acctually realise how much bigger it is than my stumpjumper... its about 1foot taller and makes the stumpy look like a stick....

There are other xc'ers on the forum but they choose not to make such a noise about it.
The Secialized is a nice bike though
|
abruce
|
ah true... but i'm proud of my XC loser-ness!
and as for my Patriot... i don't know if i can be bothered... gonna cost £70 to fix the forks.
And by the way Adam T... that pic i took of you riding, fucking brilliant... (not that i'm bragging)
