Hey Guys, Just thought it would be cool to show off our 29er rigid bikes. Thanks JB
Nice pic. Trail looks great for a rigid classic like the KM. Love the black - timeless frame if you ask me.mdb1974 said:

What are the specs on your MC? How much does that thing weigh? Looks great!tuki32 said:It's my Redline:
Nothing is cooler than brown grips and saddle... nice bike. Is that a Charge Spoon saddle?mdb1974 said:

Actually it's an Origin 8. It was cheap, bout 25 dollars. Also picked up some "Mary" type origin 8 bars for my redline recently, happy with those too.chumbox said:Nothing is cooler than brown grips and saddle... nice bike. Is that a Charge Spoon saddle?
Be careful with those bars, not built for off-road use.mdb1974 said:Actually it's an Origin 8. It was cheap, bout 25 dollars. Also picked up some "Mary" type origin 8 bars for my redline recently, happy with those too.
Nice build - black KMs are hawt!ianick said:Here's my Monkey. New to me and loving it.
Thanks for the heads-up. Did some searching and found some threads, do you think they are more prone to snapping than the Marys?GreenLightGo said:Be careful with those bars, not built for off-road use.
Don't know, I discontinued use of the set we had on my wife's bike. Never used Mary's myself......mdb1974 said:Thanks for the heads-up. Did some searching and found some threads, do you think they are more prone to snapping than the Marys?
to alleviate all doubts, you might want to check out on one's website and see if they have some chromo marys left (i have one and it is heavy and sturdy) or hit up rody at groovy cycles and see about one of his luv bars.mdb1974 said:Thanks for the heads-up.

Those fork legs look humongous! What is that thing, a JB Welded Reba?basslu said:08 Kona Unit 2-9
It's a Trigon carbon fork w/ custom white paint.slocaus said:Those fork legs look humongous! What is that thing, a JB Welded Reba?
I think the white makes it look bigger too. I am not one to criticize a bike on looks, it just looked big, not bad. If it works and you are confident in it, ride it. Maybe you need a fat front tire to balance it?basslu said:It's a Trigon carbon fork w/ custom white paint.
465mm a2c, design for 26in wheel.
I know, I know... it's too FAT for a steel frame.
But mentally, it makes me feel more secure.
btw... Although it shows 48mm rake spec on their website, mine is 38mm.
It works good for 72 degree head angle, but I really like to try longer rake version.
That fork is great. I'm surprised more people don't paint their carbon parts.basslu said:It's a Trigon carbon fork w/ custom white paint.
