ToNasty Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I sold my p2 a awhile ago and want to start riding again. I do want a 29er and preferable a single speed (not a fixie). I have had my eye on the se big ripper for some time. Any suggestions? ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REVOofRustler Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 What kind of riding are you wanting to get into? I've got a Norco Aurum that I use for Downhill and then I just built up a Canfield Balance for more all mountain kind of stuff. Here's the Aurum And the Balance I only have a couple rides on the Balance, but I really love it so far. I went to a local riding spot with a couple buddies who were both on their downhill bikes, and I was able to pedal all the way up to the trail heads without breaking a sweat while they were both lagging behind having to push their bikes up. Even then, it still felt pretty similar to my downhill bike when we started going down the trails. 2002 Dodge Dakota 4.7 club cab - Sold 2004 Audi S4 Avant - Fi and Crescendo - Stock Bose System - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147725-2002-dodge-dakota-end-of-the-road/?hl=%202002%20%20dakota 136.4 Sealed @ 29hz 137.0 Drivers window open @ 26hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToNasty Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I hate full suspension. I'm looking for a 29er in a rigid but I'll do front suspension 29er if I have to. I just cruise and wheelie all day. That's it ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk13 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Be sure to test ride whatever bikes you are looking at. Fitment can be so different from one to the next. Loved the SE bikes back in the BMX days, haven't ridden a big one to see how they fit. I'm short so I ride a 26" Rockhopper Pro with Fox and Roval, hydraulic discs, SLX crank and XT shifters/derailleurs and Easton bars/stem/seatpost. Warranty frame replacement on my 1994, not much fit the new frame so I built it piece by piece. My taller brother just bought a Trek Superfly 7 29er and is in love with it. Both multi speed bikes though. I'm not in good enough shape to SS it... Static drops are my bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Used to ride BMX back when I was younger still got the fucked up knees and shins to prove it. Been looking at getting back into some kind of biking for a while now but I Just can't make myself drop g's on bikes like I used too and I know I'll be unhappy with a cheap bike so I just try not to think about it lol. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

ToNasty Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I like the bmx style. But I'm a bigger guy and I need something comfortable. Which is why right now I'm leaning towards the SE big ripper. ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cruise and wheelie all day. That's it My ass looks good in tight shorts! Plus I spent the extra money to get disc brakes even though I'll never ride this thing in the rain. D did I mention I had to go up a level just to get the paint scheme I wanted! Yup, nothing says yuppie like throwing money at something you'll only use twice. Only 8 miles on it, I know cause I also bought the odometer thingy for it too.... Yup, bad assssss lol Rolex you sicken me.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yeah I wouldn't go back to a 20in I've been looking at 29ers too but like I said just can't justify the purchase to myself.
