Just picked this up, it's more in line with my skills and the type of riding I do.

TA, your pic of the guys sitting down in the forest has had the couches photoshopped out. Is Su Ling around?

[RSutton1223]

Here she is....

'07 Orange Ano Flux

[Roy]

Apteryx's pic needs to be removed from the list due to the protective covering he put over the couch.

I call couch dab.

[dHarriet]

No grief this far from the crafty wee wifies it seems.............For steeds on the couch.....

[Clyde S Dale]

With a token hottie...

[su.ling~]

Ahahaaha! Love it! The creativity of the homers is a cut above!

[cactuscorn]

and the simpson sticker makes the shot. nice!

whafe, i thought since they were trail dogs and shop cats......

[SBK]

The Sultan only rides leather.

Don't mind the bike stand, guitar amplifiers and moto crew shirts in the <snicker> "formal dining room."

[xclr]

[jzm]

With the wife's permission...the obligatory couch shot.

[jokermtb]

[Whafe]

Sheesh SBK, that Sultan makes a man go weak at the knees, truly. And not because of BZ's feather mask fetish... Beautiful Steed...

CC, too true...

Clyde - Beautiful mate, pearla

[Apteryx]

Its a clean shot - thats not protection, its a faux fur throw to match the faux bar. I thought Homers knew how to accessorize!

[Whafe]

[cowdog]

My idea of a couch shot from today's (5/2) lunch ride. I made little couch arms, but, dang it, I was post holing and my hands were freezing. So this is it!

[Whafe]

If Whafe can post his Nicolai, I'm posting this:

Sheesh MW, those rims look rad, look cool with all the writing etc taken off...... Any bike is all good, so long as its on a couch.........................

[AK Chris]

Sweet shots - some cool bikes used as couch props too. Tonight I have to remember to take a pic of the RFX on the couch that started it all.

If Whafe can post his Nicolai, I'm posting this:

BIG difference between Whafe posting a $8000.00 Nicolai(anyway) than anyone posting a Iron Horse.

Too true Fred. That Jamis knock off is certainly a step up from an Iron Horse!

[AK Chris]

brag brag brag...i have the magic plush red couch...i'm the bestest...brag brag brag...

I don't know if I'd call it magic .. hypnotic maybe .. but not magic.

Geez Harriet, you sound a *little* jealous.

This is the best I could do with the smiley stuff...

[CRAZY FRED]

Too true Fred. That Jamis knock off is certainly a step up from an Iron Horse!

Chingon,are we still a little swore?Do you think you could go any bigger on that pink Jamis than you do on your Kona?(Turner Kona same difference)

[dHarriet]

I don't know if I'd call it magic .. hypnotic maybe .. but not magic.
Geez Harriet, you sound a *little* jealous.
This is the best I could do with the smiley stuff...

naaahhh...not jealous...just givin' ya a little crap! admittedly though, it is a very impressive couch!

hypnotic???? um...dare i ask???

as for the smileys...not bad for a smiley rookie!

[DRTRIDR]

Finally.... a couch thread! A few more pages (of couch shots).... I say the thread becomes a STICKEY! Good job WHAFE.

[Whafe]

Here here, its all good. SBK's Sultan does look the ducks nuts in his couch shot.... That bike is a very styly looking machine............

C Fred - Best you post up a couch shot, give my steed some company

[cactuscorn]

I say the thread becomes a STICKEY!

sticky couch threads? they make cleaners for that ya know.

[Whafe]

Can a non Homers thread dedicated to Homers become sticky?

The sticky couch cleaner, come out where ever you are....

Thanks Whafe, I'm truly digging that bike so far. A friend helped set it up tubeless/Stans, and it's one fast-rolling, bump/root eatin' machine. A really great bike to ride and enjoy the trails!

I often think of 29er's, as anyone does, apart from some of the bling bling Ti 29er's, your bike is the nicest looking 29er I have seen, really mean that.... The colour of the frame and fork...

aaarrggghhhh, as we say in New Zealand, "its the ducks nuts"....

CF, there will be no melt down, this is not a homers only thread..... Need a few Nicolai's here to even things up......................... You know as well as I do, that you tend to bite real good, when ya Homer buddies lay down a burly trail with a BIG baited hook.....

I never get the, your bike is a Jamis from the Homer peeps....

So post up CF, come out and play....

[AK Chris]

O-k Homers, here's my take on this whole "couch thing."

For those with too much free time in their cubicles - I know there are no grips, shifter cables, chain, and the brake line zip ties need to be cut. I KNOW!!! I did that after I took this shot, I was losing light last night and I wanted to get the photo before it got dark.

I actaully went on a short midnight session around downtown Anchorage trying to get the shifting tuned. In true Homer fashion, it felt GREAT dropping off curbs and going down a couple steps that must have been at least 12 feet (measured in CCU's).

Dang Harriet, where'd the face bouncing on that cool RED couch come from?

[dHarriet]

um...Chris...i hate to be the one to tell you...but you're missing grips, and shifter cables, and a chain...and you may want to cut those brake line zip ties while you're at it!

Dang Harriet, where'd the face bouncing on that cool RED couch come from?

a girl does not reveal her smiley secrets!

[Clyde S Dale]

But right click, properties does.

[Whafe]

dH, you are just jealous that AK Christopher has a real Red couch...

[Ryan G.]

AK

What bash guard is that?

[AK Chris]

AK

What bash guard is that?

It started as a Raceface, but the chain rubbed on it when I was in the middle ring and the 11t in the rear, so I hit the backside with a sander to round it off a bit so the chain wouldn't rub. Since I had it off and since I hated the goofy white RF logo on the black background, I hit the front with the sander too. Then I busted a little steel wool to smooth the finish. Looks trick.

[Whafe]

Mwah ha ha ha ha

[dHarriet]

Mwah ha ha ha ha

oh yeah...and...

[2w4s]

That bike is hot! are you 18feet tall?

[2w4s]

The Sultan only rides leather.

Don't mind the bike stand, guitar amplifiers and moto crew shirts in the <snicker> "formal dining room."

damn, if i were rich i'd have that bike. That's pure sex...

[epicriderat]

I just picked this up today, crazy thing is I'm still waiting for my 2007 med. deep red Spot. But I got this to help me throught the next month or two of waiting, my LBS made me a offer I couldn't refuse. I will be selling this when the other frame arrives, can't afford two Turners at this time. But for now I can at least ride.

[Midle Age Warrior]

, can't afford two Turners at this time. .

I bet you will manage yourself to keep the both of them, I was in the same dilema as you, I am waiting for my medium 5Spot to arrive, in the mean time I got my 6pack just to keep on riding, and let me tell you this thing is like a virus. Mine have coil both font and rear and I am already understand why some choose coil over air althogh the weitgh increment, not to mention the 6" of rear travel said that, I found the way to built the Spot too when it arrives.
Enjoy it I am sure you will

[Dirty Bert]

what a pretty purse you got ther CC.

[Al.]

Here's another Sultan.

She's been built and ridden hard a few times. My first Turner and what an amazing bike. First ride felt like riding a old friend.

[ORVH]

Nice ride - what's up with the rockers?! - Shi-ny!

[hiredgun]

I wanna play too but the wife is power whining at the thought of my bike on the couch.

I wasn't paying her much attention (we've been married 10 years) but I gathered something about the couch being new and my RFX dirty.

I need your support to help sway the wife to let me get the needed couch shot that will allow me to join the elite society that is the Homers.

Its not too dirty is it?
You'd have it on your couch right?

[ImaKlyde]

The Bassturd and the S.O.B.:


Brock...

[epicriderat]

ORVH, What is up with those rockers. My frame is a 2005 and yet all the other pix I see have black rockers. Perhaps someone, who knows Turners better than I , can shed some light on this.

This is my baby. I have waited for years to have a ride this sweet. I am about 255 soaking wet and live in the Denver metro area. Trails are very rocky and technical. Way out of the league for my original steed an S Works FSR (3.75 inches of travel). And now I can almost tackle anything (that I don’t freak out on…and there is a lot of that around here!)
- King hubs 36 hole 14 straight gauge brass nipples and King head set
- Rock Shox Revelation fork
- Thomson stem and post
- Shimano XT derailleur’s, chain cassette and LX cranks with bash guard Sram X7 shifters
- Avid Juicy 7’s 203/185’s
- WTB race saddle
- Kenda Nevegals DTC 2.35 by far nicest tires yet and got a set for 29 bucks on close out @ REI!!! And lite weight tubes.
- Easton 50 alloy high risers lock on Oury grips
- Shimano 520 clip less pedals
