My current ride--a SC Blur with some authentic Moabian mud from last weekend that I've been too lazy to wash off. I'm switching to disk brakes soon! WOO!

In the pic, the Dean is in the stand, waiting for me to finish cleaning the bb. The Lemond is up on the wall, waiting for me to pull it down and ride it up to Ward for some good coffee. The '95 GT Backwoods is my old ride...if I'm lucky enough to be within distance in Boston, it'll be my commuter.

Thanks CS! Much to my wife's chagrin, I'm currently lobbying to add this one to the stable:
Barring divorce or me winning the lottery, it will be the last addition, so I plan to spec it out with the really good stuff. American Classic 420 wheelset, full Dura-Ace 10 speed, carbon bars.Of all the muthafuckas on earth, you the muthafuckest.

Hey, snow_slider, aren't the Truth and the AC pretty much the same exact bike?

CS - the Truth and AC are about as much alike as a Porsche and a VW. They're both bikes, they both have two wheels and suspension, but they are COMPLETELY different animals. The Truth is much more effecient (approaches stable-platform technology while still retaining all the small bump forgiveness of a four-bar suspension.
Don't get me wrong, the AC is a great bike, but it's significantly heavier (about 6 pounds) and MUCH cushier. I basically bought it as a back up bike or the go to bike when I'm riding more technical trails (I wouldn't even think of taking my Truth off a three foot or higher drop).
hev/IG - Problem?!? Well, yeah I guess so.

I stand corrected. I just figured they have the same linkage (though I did notice different position points, or whatever that is), and were both in the 4" range. But whatever, sweet rigs either way.
I will have to disagree with your "I'm gonna tear this shit up" bike. To do that properly, you need this:
Milkman, very nice ride. So cool to see so many people getting aggro on the hardtails.Last edited by CS; 03-19-2004 at 04:20 PM.

CS - Holy shite! That's not a bike, that's a tank. Too many pivots to maintenance for me and tha rear hydro line routing worrys me. I could see ripping that sucker off on the first log pile I crossed.
Here's my dream "tear this shit up" bike:
I'm just a sucker for a 4-bar suspension. Plus it's always nice to support the up and coming builder
As for the difference between the Truth and the AC Air - the rear pivot location on the Truth is on the chainstay, slightly below the rear axel (true Horst link). On the Giant, it's on the seatstay. Theseatstay location puts it above the rear axel and allows braking to stiffen the rear suspension action, while the Truth's suspension action is unaffected by braking. Yes, I'm a suspension nerd...
Basom - sweet bike man!
I agree that milkmans bike rocks - I have a friend who does a lot of urban assault riding. He has broken like three hardtails in the last year. He bought a Cove and it's been bombproof.Of all the muthafuckas on earth, you the muthafuckest.

Gadget - Now I just need to convince my wife that owning another pair of skis makes sense - given where I live (Virginia).

Here's the Bullit (only one I could find). I'll have plenty of new pics once the 888 is installed...Oh Yeah!
Here's the Chameleon after a very rare cleaning:
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

Far too many clean bikes here. Y'all need to get out and ride more. Rode 50 kms of soggy wet road yesterday, the head wind was nasty.
