New mountain bike

Mack · 08-02-2003, 03:17 AM

Well I took the plunge, made a pact with myself to get in shape and got a new mountain bike.

I got a Mordo modified Dunlop 249 series in Sunfire red. It is 18 Speed witha 29" frame. I bought it on Thursday night with some of the money I had set aside to go to the Yotajam.

As usual though I ended up spending almost as much on accessories as I did on the bike :pat: I got a rack that fits on my 2" reciever ( with a padlock to keep the bike in the rack and a locking hitch pin to keep the rack on the truck) and a matching helmet, gloves and of course a good cable lock.

I went out on one of the trails near my house the first night and did about 2km then got up early Friday morning for another run, then a short trail at lunch time.

Sounds cool Mack.
One of these days I will get a new one.
Mine is from '88, and really outdated.

Congratulations. Try to keep the rubber side pointed down.

That's cool!

Do you have a picture of it?

02Runner · 08-06-2003, 08:42 PM

Hey Mack. if you can't get any pics, could you at least post a drawing of it??

Just kidding, I wish I lived where you do, our riding kinda blows here in SW Fla, oh well.....one day!

Cheers,
Doug

Kinda off topic...

I saw on Ripley's Believe It or Not on TV today that a guy named Eric went 107 miles per hour on a mountain bike. He wiped out due to mechanical failure. I could not believe his injuries were not more severe. He had several broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder and some scrapes and cuts.

i want to see a pic of this 29" frame, it must be made for shaq

Yeah, I saw that too. It was pretty crazy. I'd say he had a little more than a "mechanical failure." His bike broke completely in half. It looked like he actually crushed the front tire with his neck. Ouch!!!

I'm suprised he's still alive.

:chicken:

Congrats on the new bike Mack

! I bought my Trek a few years ago, but just started getting serious about mountain riding this summer and I absolutely love it

!

I was wondering how the guy got his bike to go 107? Was he being pulled by something or what

?

He went downhill.

Rayday81 · 08-07-2003, 03:57 PM

That must have been a pretty steep hill. Holy cow 107 downhill

HaveBlue · 08-07-2003, 08:49 PM

That must have been one LONG downhill. Can anyone say "terminal velocity?"

What kind of componets were spec'd with it?

I am thinking of upgrading my '02 StumpJumper Pro for a Titus Racer X or a Titus SwitchBalde.... both in the mid $3500 range and worth ever cent!

Nate C · 07-19-2006, 02:48 PM

WOW!! What a difference 3 years makes!

The 29er movement has moved from the fringes into the mainstream in the MTB world. I have owned 3 29ers, a Speedgoat Asylum, Titus Exogrid Racer-X 29er, and a Exogrid hardtailed single speed 29er.

Sorry to bump up old threads but I just had to...
