T.McMillan Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) sorry dont like that bike one bit, the kid who got your adamant will be pleased, i do love dh bikes n freeride but real deal orange ones!! that looks like you got it from toy's r us or makro, Edited June 30, 2007 by speedyjustice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) Is that an Orange Mr O??Looks really really nice. Very jelous. Make sure you give it some serious abuse.As has been said, maybe try a longer shock, or stiffen it up a tad to stop it bottoming out. Maybe try a 5th Element shock. They are very good quality.i do love dh bikes n freeride but real deal orange ones!!How can you say that its not a real deal Orange?? Just because its not a brand new 222 or something, doesnt mean its not a "real deal Orange". It may be from a few years ago, but it can still cut the mustard as well as any other DH rig.

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Love hat orange bike! sex! lolIts my first DH bike guys, i aint arsed if its an amazing spec or anything, as long as im on the hills making air, i aint fussed! Went to AE today, was awesome! i actually managed to do the 20 foot coffin step down on it! was well pleased! the rear sus isnt bottoming out any more, as iv had it nearly on the hardest setting, but it still feels nice! the forks need new seals though, they fooked, so they bottom out all the time cause all the oil has leaked lolAh well!

tank_rider Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Should be a good solid way into DH At least you have something to ride and can upgrade as and when you break stuff or have the money I did a similar thing when i got told i had to give up trials i bought a 2nd hand dh bike the next day. She's been slowely upgraded and is nearly how i want her now. She's got saint cranks and an e.thirteen chain device on since this pic was taken. Just a new front wheel and saddle to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tank_rider Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 well heres my beaut, got her home yesterday.. sorry about the pics, camera phone. gets her first good raggin tomorrow Giant Reign X?Very nice, I'm currently contemplating loosing the long travel frame on mine and going for something a little shorter, either a reign x or a transition bottlerocket. Will see how i feel after a week in the alps though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I think a downhill ride should be organised up north like, scottish border styliee... We have 7 stanes fort william ect.. all awesome DH courses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
