| That looks nice! That angle on the saddle loks horrific to me  I don't have a commuter atm, but are going to build one up when starting school again  Think a 15 min bike trip is a good start on the day.   My over 5year old bike trial, just lasted me ages.. Going to retire it now ang get a custom TI frame with all the best parts!  My street trials rig.  My All mountain bikee | |

| LOL, I can see how you would find my seat horrific!!! You've got NO seat! Wow. I guess that's good for what the bike is for. I've got my saddle so high because the bike it a little bit too small for me, and so my legs are completely extended at the bottom of each stroke for maximum power. - SHEHROZE ARAIN wrote:

lol, I do have an idea to get the most for my money!  And thanks, the last two pics (and a few others I have) were solely intended to experiment with the depth of feild thing! I was inspired by Scott's pics | |

| Really? I think its a ok sized group in Toronto atleast. A friend took his vacation there, riding with alot of people!
Offcourse, its just a promille with bikers compared to XC, DH, Road, dirt.. but big compared to many other places! | |

| Ah, so you do racing, or are you planning to start training once you get a bike?
I have problems keeping energy, I just don't feel like doing anything for a while now. I don't know how I managed 27 miles a day every work day last year. | |

| I used to be a cycle messenger here in Auckland and I could keep up with professional cyclists then. The NZ paraolympic team heard about me and I've been asked to trail. | |

| Haven't posted a pic yet! :O I have a dirt rig, and I had a street/park right, but I snapped the frame like weeks after I got it. It was a 2011 NS Holy1, never got a good picture of it  Here's pics of my 2007 Norco Ryde that has served me faithfully since I was 12. I single speeded it and some other upgrades, still rides me every where   | |

| I took it off a 10+ foot drop, accidentally, I almost made a mess in my pants as I was approaching cause I saw it last second. No time to hit the brakes, so I went for it, and my back tire hit the landing ramp, which messed up the rim and snapped the metal on the left side, both upper and lower bar.
And haha, it is for the type of riding I do I guess. Like road bikes and mountain bikes need varying speeds, or else it would be kind of hard for them to do a lot of things. But dirt jump and park are basically always hitting jumps and crashing, it's less weight, and the extra speeds aren't really required for what you are doing. But it sucks when I am biking around with my friends, and they all have multi speeds, and there's hills and stuff. | |
