Hello everyone. After reading about my stupidity about buying all those parts for my Fuji, I finally sat down with my dad and discussed the smart way to move after destroying the forks on my old Fuji.

EDIT: Well, I trashed the idea of a single speed after my team manager offered to take me trail riding.. he mentioned needing a geary.


So, now, I am looking into a NEW Specialized Hardrock Comp Disc... 100mm front fork anyone?


Hayes Disc Brakes.

:sick:Deore/Alivio Drivetrain... 24 speed.

I want the pro disc a hell of a lot more but bleh... I want Avid damnit.
 
I hope I get it.... all up to my mother....

I WILL NOT ride the bus to school.

And I don't feel like leaving before 7 and walking 45 mins. :cheers: 👍:lol:

I'll have to lock it up though because it is kinda just OUT THERE.
 
i had a hardrock there rad id get one againif i was starting out or if my bike got nicked and my innsurance wouldnt pay out. there Amazing get 1 you wont regret it. but wait until the 06 bikes come out because the you get Sram x7 gears not shimano, as SRAM are far far more relieable they jkust take a litle bit of time to get used to it all the pros use it.

Ok, I think you get the wrong idea.

I am not "just starting out"... I have a champagne taste and a beer budget as my mum put it. I have had thew Pro for 2.5 weeks. I bent the drive spider on the cranks. I ordered a DJ3 fork for warranty tradeup with Zochhi for $100USD. I have RaceFace Evolve DH ISIS cranks with the Evolve FR BB.... and a new Specialized BG2 seat.

Rides great.


Ahyways, I have raced BMX for almost 8 years... I am a damn good jumper too.


Not boasting, but yes, I wish I would've waited for the SRAM yet I don't.

If I want it that bad, I'll learn to tune derailleurs and do it myself. *hint* I have SRAM Triggers and x.7 deraillurs on my Fuji..... and Avid Speed Dial 7 levers...

I also might get a smaller tire depending on what kind of riding I am gonna do. So heavy...

Off to bed, I will see if my mum can develop the pics tomorrow.
