I'll be the guy on the rigid Ti singlespeed 29er.
Ah. One of those guys that I pour hate upon as you clean almost every trail feature faster that my old ass does?

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

That's nice! Here's the only picture I could find of mine: It was cleaner back then. The bear bell is gone, and the ugly red spacer replaced by a more sensible Ti one.

Nice Black Sheep fork also- is that their bar too? Yeah, brakes are XTR. Kind of an old pic- the only thing that's changed are the WTB Weirwolves that ride like banana peels in the mud, and an identical SLR carbon saddle since this one cracked in half on me over the winter. I just picked up the new S-Track look pedals also- the ones in the pic are Quartz's.

That's a Jones H-bar. I got it when it was going for a "reasonable" $220, instead of $500 last time I checked. Oh, and that Black Sheep fork (made circa 2004) does look nice but is flexy as hell and is to be avoided if you weigh over 135 lbs and ride anything technical. FOUR of my friends have snapped theirs. Mine is still good but everyone I ride with worries about it, so I'll eventually get it replaced. The DeSalvo frame is great and has outlasted every Ti frame within the group that I usually ride with!

I miss Fountainhead (and Gambrill) - it's kind of funny just how many of the turns & rooty climbs I remember from nearly a decade ago...
One thing I couldn't spot was the Shockabilly drop, the straight "advanced" version that went down the waterbars - though that might be it starting around 9:10. Did they take out the erosion-prone waterbar section & make the funky, fun off-camber "intermediate" option (which I always found harder than the straight drop) the primary line?

wow some of those are pretty crazy. you get to see a bunch of crazy "bikes" out here in brooklyn, especially at the bike kill event (a google image search can show ya how strange it gets there ha). One of my local shops has one of these in there.... I havent ridden it but apparently hes always letting people take it out for a test ride and they say its hella fun. He also used to have a really awesome chicago schwinn paramount tandem track bike in there
