    Should I buy the Soul Cycles Titan?

    Its 200 bucks, and I can get the 18inch frame, which they arent making next year(the 15.5 is going to be a bit small for a 6'3 person i think).

    Bill what size is your frame?


    I can take everything off of my Y-5 and get a new fork, then as I get some money switch it over to singlespeed.

    And the components would come off of this bad boy:

    Cant, you were asking about the sponsorship program a while ago, weren't you? Did you give that a try? It's just a matter of filling out the app. and emailing it to them. They are real fast to respond, and it'll save you some cash.

    I'd say go for it. The reviews I've read are promising, and you can't really go wrong at that price.
    Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

    Thats what I was thinking of doing. Just feel a little weird being sponsored if i suck.

    Edit: bleh, of course they are closing shop for vacation starting tomorrow until the 12th. Looks like the bike purchase will have to wait.

    cant--my hardtail is technically a 16" seat tube, banshee lists it for guys from 6'2" to 6'6". it fits me pretty well--top tube felt a little bunched up at first, but now my dh bike feels streched out.

    get it.

    Psh, I'm no pro by any means. I certainly don't have the skill required for a real sponsorship. There's no shame in getting a deal though. Especially when it's handed to you on a silver platter.

    I agree with what bagtagley said. I was checking into the KHS RACER program, and though they want you to provide a resume of accomplishments. It seems that the main goal of a sponsorship program at this level is to have the product visible and not act like a jackass when representing the product. And be able to talk about and promote the product.

    Sponsorship=access to cheaper and/or free gear, which is a good thing. BTW, that looks like a pretty nice frame for 200.00.

    I'll have to take a picture of mine tonight. It doesnt look that corny.


    Oh, and that Manitou Pro is the worst fork ever. Holy crap that thing sucked so hard. The Z2 atom bomb on there now is a lot better.

    This bike makes my face happy, but mainly because I'm not riding it.

    I already am the coolest.


    But it looks like I'm going to do it. Now I gotta figure out what fork I'm gonna put on it, and I gotta buy a DH crank, chain guide, and BB. The rest I can transfer over from my old bike(assuming the hub spacing is the same and both have symmetric stays)
