I got a few bucks back from Trek, so I bought a new one. However, this past Summer, my front hydraulic brakes failed, so I had to ghost ride the bike down a steep ass hill. Serious pwnage, for me and the bike.:help

JaredM3,

What size is it? My son outgrew his Trek 4300 and probably needs a new one. Although, he is afraid to ride off of curbs.:confused

Amazingly, I did not get hurt at all. I don't know how. The worst part was carrying the bike down the mountain. This happened at the top.

I had my helmet and Fox arm guards. I flew so far and fast, I didn't have any time to react.

Haha! When the cleats get worn, there's a lot of slop, but otherwise, I like em. I have the same exact ones!

lol, CF wasn't meant to be snapped. It sounded like a Redwood tree splitting. I wish it was my CF handlebar that snapped.

Fred,

At the speed I was going, I probably would have snapped a solid cast iron frame.:D

Damn, too small. He is on a 16" right now and he sits comfortably on my 18". He is pretty tall.

it is a short frame @ 15.5

^ you and everyone else in the world doesnt want the 15.5, I am 6'2 and I love the short frame, its a good tight woods trail bike, very fast response and easy to throw around, its like a little go kart compared to my 21" stumpie jumpie.

I'd never trust a carbon frame in the dirt. On the road is one thing, but there's no way I'm going to feel confident chucking a plastic frame around the mountain.

Jared have you tried CL and ebay? The FSR's seem to go fast there. I have a ton of bike boxes if you need one for free to ship.

^ I have had it on and off of CL, the size puts off every single person that has ever been interested...

^ I hear ya. Those frames are great for all around riding though. I'm 6'2 and I run a 18 inch frame on the dirt.

What about http://www.mtbr.com/ ?

You would be surprised. I bought that Pro Issue brand new and had it for ten years. I broke 1 aluminum bike (my friend's bike) and bent a titanium one (my old Merlin).

I really miss that bike. It was the best single-track bike I have ever used. I probably over-used it going downhilling with it, but I was very comfortable riding it.

Yeah, I was the original buyer in 1995, but the bike was over ten years old when I crashed it. There was some depreciation involved, I got a $350 voucher from them, better than nothing I guess. The catch was, I had to buy another Trek. My local shop owner was retiring so he gave me a great deal on a Liquid 25. The bike retailed for $2000 and he gave it to me for $1200, so with the voucher, I paid $850 for it. I ended up throwing my XTR components on the L25.
