          Value - about the same as a set of BBS racing wheels perhaps?
          Your S2 must be jealous right now...

              Bike

              Anders,

              Nice bike!!

              I'm off to Morzine in the Alps this August for some downhilling. Need to hire a bike
              over there so let me know how you get on with the Big Hit. It's certainly on my list
              for bikes to try out whilst over there.

              Time to go and get some practice in - now where did I leave that pneumatic road drill?

              RS2+ (now sold...)

                Definatly an offroad bike. Makes me laugh when I see people riding suspension bikes only on the roads.

                I bet that thing is like a feather! how much it weight? same as a bag of sugar?

                    Thanks guys! Its way over my league infact, but i must start easy with this beast before i try to tame it.
                    The spec is really good! the front fork is the "Marzocchi 888 VF" and has 200mm travel!!
                    ..and the rear has insane 208mm of travel.
                    It isnt so light because for this its speed that counts so therefore it weights about 20kg.

                    I might think mods are coming along with the riding.. (compared to my s2 experience), but it should do for now

                    And yes, maybe som bbs wheels and brakes did have to wait cause of this thing.
                    @ Igrees: I can poste some experineces after this weekend if all goes well. I also want to ride in the Alps! Heard so much nice about the trails there.

                    Read more spec here if you like.


                    oh, and i also got ceramic brakes on it, (the bike yes)

                            Nice bike that fly down those slopes...!

                            I know my ransom fly's and that's only got 150mm front 165mm rear travel.

                            I am off to do my 1st 24hr mountain bike race this weekend... Looking foward too it ''might not be saying that at 3am in the morning'' but the beer sure well taste nice on Sunday..
