Show us your rides and rate the one posted above you!

[kyle888]

Just thought I'd start a new thread for a bit of fun, i saw this on another site and it works well so here are the rules.

*Bikes that are ridden only no garage queens thanks *

1. Rate the bike posted above yours out of 10.

2. Add a comment as to why you gave that score ie. 8/10 i dont like bikes with the wrong stickers on

3. Add some photo's of your bike (clear photos please).

4. Add a bit of spec info.

5. No come backs on a review as it'll put people off giving an honest review it's prob just a differing opinion or a bit of constructive criticism. Keep everything lighthearted. You can give one response but only in emogies eg. :shock: :cry: :evil: :? (more than one is fine)

no random pictures let's keep it clean and on the subject.

Re:

[The History Man]

Oh all right 6/10

Discs and toe straps? Silver bottle cages clash with everything. And it's got different red bar ends. And a shock post? Other than that.............

89 Pioneer

All xt but a bit of a later crank. Built a couple of years ago out of Marin parts then slowly upgraded to this. I'm not precious, go for it!

 

[Kona-Ian]

Kyle, only just noticed

THM, I like toe clips and had them since forever.
What's wrong with clips and discs..
Shock post does also help a lot, you should try one.
Also do know the cages look shit, was thinking of some Bontrager ones.

Re:

At least this thread is taking off now!

To be fair with decent grippy flats these days toe clips aren't really needed.

 

[Kona-Ian]

Well it's taking off yepo.. I'm stuck in my ways and will keep clips.
