My second love (behind my PC)

Giant Talon 3 (2014), upgrades include Rock Shox Reba RL, Charge Spoon Sadle, DMR V8 Pedals and urm a shorter inverted Stem (forgot make)
Got some future upgrades in store too but not too much more. (tires, wider bars)

Anyone else got a bike, feel free to post it, would love to see it.

That is god damn gorgeous.

Yup I think its beautiful. I really like the full white, makes it stand out from most other bikes. The suspension is really nice too :)

I was into it when i was younger^^ 

I had one of these. (Don't judge. This was before disc brakes were even an option for normal people on bikes)

I've never understood having fixed rear bikes. It just seems like it would hurt a lot more if you slipped off the pedals.
I had this one for about three years and in the end the rear got bent after a jump.

Never got 100% into it though.. Since i had a dirtbike 

 

Another thing that i find interesting about mountainbiking is that this.

Is 200$ more expensive than this

i cant remember now. it was around 50 quid. (what you get for walking home from uni when you cycled and using it on a public bike lock and deciding to get it in the morning)

 

Well that sucks. God damn thugs who made a failure of their life and have to go around stealing other peoples pride and joy  :angry:

Haha, yes some of the prices for top tier bikes are crazy, but you're paying for the research and development that goes into making it not just the materials, when you look at redbull rampage footage it's amazing to see how a bicycle can withstand that amount of force being exerted onto it. 

 

(I suppose the same can be said for cars too)

I don't have an mtb at the moment because its in parts waiting on me to get the money to fix the bloody thing. In the meantime i have this thing and i suppose it kind accounts because i will be running some mtb parts on it in the future. The lightest full size race bike i have ever seen was 14lb and that is my goal for this thing. First up on the list of changes will be a new crank(no idea what one, i might even go with a road crank because light weight), carbon bombshell bars and a box stem. Things that will be changed out latter will be the wheels for profiles laced to box rims along with the fork for a 20mm box thru axle fork. Also i need to get a hold of one of those nut busting tioga saddles and a really short seat post.
