New Bike ....

[asdf]

I am looking into getting a new bike sometime between now and the end of 2007.
What do you all you bike guru's think about the Iron Horse 7.3 (http://www.performancebike.com/shop/profile.cfm?SKU=22284&cm_mmc=Affiliate-_-Datafeed-_-null-_-null&cm_mmc=CJ-_-1865785-_-2117609-_-2006%20Iron%20Horse%207%20Point%203%20Mountain%20B ike&PID=2117609)?

I like the Yakuza but get a rock ring of some kind for the crankrings...you'll NOT regret it! You dont need more than one crankring if youre gonna use it for downhilling or even for freeriding but get the rockring!

yeah wtf... why the hell does it not come stock?

[greyhair biker]

probably because it could be set up better for their DH rig. It wierd to see different brands set up their socalled DH rigs without at least a nominal rockring nowadays. RaceFace sells one of the most basic ones...Rocky Mountain uses them on their rigs, so do several others....now that I think about it though it really depends on who they contract with to put what components on a bike. There are several really good brands of rings out there now to replace what is 'stock' so look for what you like.

look for this one by Iron Horse and youll find a keeper..

better yet, have Jeremy (odgmfg) build you one!! :2thumbs:

Is that a sunday elite?
My pockets are not the deep .... I am looking to spend around 1500.

[greyhair biker]

I dont remember what it is and the picture isnt the best but the Sunday Team or World Cup would be an awesome rig.
