My New 2 Wheeled Super Model.....

[Big T]

Well the monster has a new 2 wheeled "friend"...... I know there are few of you who have "friends" for our Monsters.....

She is a sleek, slim, fast super model and they both seem to have hit it off in a big way. Neither is jealous of the other (630km on the Duke yesterday and 2 hours on the trail today and neither has complained). Just finished cleaning them both together and they are tucked up together in the garage....... :angel:

She is an 08 Specialized Stump Jumper Pro Carbon Fiber (comes with a LOT of bling but always room for more). Prefer the Duke for going up hills but this new super model loves to go down (pun intended)... >

Mmmm the things we do on a lazy Sunday afternoon...... 8)

is that a SRAM rear derailluer? and Magura (yes folks the same ones that make the bars on the s4r) Marta brakes?

Congratulations, she's a beauty!

Yep Spider SRAM X0 rear with the X0 shifters. You got to love that 1:1 shifting.... [thumbsup]. Also have them on the Scott RC10 race bike...

And those Magura Marta brakes work a treat and of course, (the most important part) they look smick........

Mmmmm maybe that's why the Duke and Super model get along so well. They have bits in common..... :angel:

Hayes used to advertise in MTB magazines a decade ago that they 'stopped' Harleys...but anyone that knew anything about motorbikes realised that wasn't such a good thing...

Did you know that for a period about 7 years ago there were a few downhill bikes that came with öhlins shocks as well...and Answer pro taper bars became popular (again) in the motorbike world after the MTB version became a success!

There is an intrinsic link between the 2 sports - so they will gladly share a garage!
