Re: Downhill bikes

watch the slow motion scene that starts at 95sec in. Look at how much and fast the fork is moving

---- you ever look at the price of one of those jeep bikes? their like $2500 for a base model and like $3200 for a 2wd model
i have heard that the taour dr french their bikes range from $4500-12k and they are much more simple bikes that just have to be light
these have to have good brakes to stop,good suspension to handle everything,and has to be strong enought to not break before you do and on top of that it still has to be light

but i agree with random strike that with some power those would be sick
i saw a video on youtube with a franken bike that was a mix of a heavily modafied 50 and one of these and it was awsome the guy was riding on a bmx track tearing it up faster than a bmx or an mx bike ever could because it was so light and manuverable
