 By Dirt Jumper T on 8/16/2007 Hey, im looking for a new, (but most importantly) cheap downhill bike. I do a lot of jumps and smaller drop offs and like to go fast. Ive been using my specialized enduro bike got it for christmas, thats more on the xc side. Lately mt headset is coming loose and the shocks get all mest up when I land a jump. I think its time to step it up to a freeride/downhill, but the prices can kill!!!!!!!! |

In my last tale from the trail, I wrote about our girls Porcupine Rim ride. What I neglected to mention is that the bike I rode was a hard-tail with a front shock offered less than an 1/8†of travel. Fortunately I didn’t know any better at the time. Walker is always helping to make my mountain biking experience better, so this weekend he announced that he picked up a new bike for me to demo: an Ironhorse MKIII, full suspension bike with 5†of travel in the front and back. Not only is this a lot of bike for a little girl, but it’s a dramatic, 180 degree change from what I have been riding. And it’s bright green. Not a soft misty sage green, nor a dark forest green, but a bright, extremely vivid Kermit the Frog green. Maybe this was because he knew I’d be riding solo and wanted to be able to easily ask people what happened to me…. |
