    Pronghorn Racing Carbon PR6 Bike Pics

    I posted this earlier on the wrong forum earlier yesterday. I was in a hurry, oh well here it is again.21.4lb carbon Pronghorn Racing PR6. I know it is different, but it out handles and out climbs my Specialized Epic which is my main concern, and not to mention almost 4lbs lighter. And I leveled the seat after the pics were taken.

    Don't forget to mention the part where you were just supplied with this bike from your sponsor, and now want to help generate visibility for this new product by posting it up here.

    Sorry - seems I just have it in today for posters trying to promote products or services they are affiliated with. I will email the site admins to see if they can change the forum title to "XC Racing, Training, and Shills for Products and Services" to better reflect the actual content of many posts.

    Exceptions are those who give as much to the forums as they take out of it.

    Yeah.....just read the review in mtb action (Mar) on the Alum version.
    Good review and said absolutely no interference with the high mounted shock.

    We all know if the aluminum performs good imagine how much better that carbon rig is.

    Just so you know and not that you really care but I actually paid money for my bike and am proud of what I built. It was my very first build from scratch and I only posted it in the XC forum because I do race 2-3 weeks a month here in SoCAl. To bad people don't actually think there are genuine people still in existence.

    Whatever you say. Those are your words in bold italic below, not mine.

I know people like to knock new things now and days, even some of my friends thought this bike looked odd......but then they seen and tried it and all were very impressed. As for the comments on suspension and such, this is a XC race bike and when the shock is set up properly functions as such extremely well.

    A "sponsorship" can mean free or discount.

    Nice bike (VERY nice!), cool concept and let us know how it goes.
    I like bicycles. Bicycles make me happy. Riding them makes me even happier.

    I still had to pay for the frame, I got a discount on it but the rest I did not. I posted pics of my epic when I did upgrades to it and no one complained then. Have you not posted pics of any thing you ride? If they would have had a section in the bike area I would have posted there, but they do not so I posted to the forum I read the most. As of right now I am tuning the suspension to get ready for the US Cup race this weekend in Bonelli/ San Dimas, CA. This is my first season as a sport/cat2 racer and have been putting in a lot of training hours so I hope to perform well. Sorry if that sounded like a plug to invite others to the race, but the more the better.

    the embodiment of bitterness...

    do you pay full retail for your stuff? do you race, and travel to races? in your opinion a guy can't be proud of his race rig because he got a discount on it?

    nice pronghorn man! hope you tear up the course at Bonelli!

    regardless of how much you paid for it or even if a sponsor bought it for you, that is a damn fine bike!!!

    Good job and good luck this season.
