riding the bullit

[Dawgee]

i took my bullit out for a second shake down ride just around the neighborhood. If anyone is building or planning on buying a Bullit GO FOR IT. I love this bike it. I cant get over how awesome of a ride it is. It wheelies like we the people im kinda suprised it pulls up so easy with the triple clamp fork on it i figured it be a pig. I have to say all the great reveiws on this bike are right on.

Dawgee. I am happy for ya..

Has anyone on this forum bought anything other than a bullit in the last 4 months?

I take it that its a good bike,but there has to be people buying different bikes.

Don't taKe it the wrong way ,but this has turned into a santa cruz forum.

[AA]

I bought a Jamis............. but I do have a SC as well ;D

[AGENTGRAPE]

if someone builds a better mousetrap...............until then i will ride my bullitt too. i cant think of any other frame that is as versatile as a bullitt.go ride one you will build one

[p_coutermarsh]

NEMBA now stands for the New England Mountain Bullit Association ;).

[Dawgee]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm i think Yogis onto something there dont you think Agent? :)

[AGENTGRAPE]

why yes he is a brilliant man. maybe he could get a royalty, he would be able to build a bullitt of his own very quickly. dawgee do you want to go for a nite ride thurs in ryan park?

[johnnyt]

I am not sure I like the new modification to the NEMBA acronym. I am more partial to HMBRC or He-Man-Bullit-Rider-Club. Or BADASS, Bullit And Downhiller Association. Or BONER - Bullits Of New England Region.

I don't even have my frame yet and am fanatical! Maybe I need BA - Bullit's Anonamous.

[EVIL BOTA]

Well, Until the moneys gods shine down on me .I will be riding the bike below.

For the amount I have in mine.I can only buy a S.C. frame..

Good luck and have fun bullit riders..

Has anyone ever seen the SNL with Jim Carey as "Johnny Tango" and his weight loss slogan "Ride the Snake". I don't know why this post made me think of that.

Grungy,
For the Boston NEMBA folks Kona rhymns with Boner. Sork of sounds like Bona. Sounds like Konas give you bonas!

[AGENTGRAPE]

well this explains alot it takes 248 konas to beat one bullitt

[gungywump]

J.T.

I don't know if I like your Tona!

Yes, I am a Kona Ona but, they don't give me a Bona.


Did you know that if the C were an L you could spell SATAN RULZ out of Santa Cruz?

[gungywump]

How many UCI/NORBA downhills did Santa Cruz suspension designs win last year?

How many Freeride videos did they help sponsor/make?

Is most of the new ground being broken in the freeride world taking place in California or on the North Shore and British Columbia?

I really don't think I need to defend Konas place in the Mountain Bike World.

Santa Cruz make a full line of fine bicycles. I considered one before making my decision to get another Kona. I work in a shop on Saturdays and I can get any bike I want. With the exception of the VPP design the high-forward-single-pivot design is like 15years old now.

[gungywump]

I'm sorry I'm not trying to pick a fight.
I like Santa Cruz I really do. They like Kona have managed to produce a superior product and have a strong following. I don't like the Trek/Fisher/Klein/Bontrager/. . . . Mega conglomerates that mass produce and buy out their competition.

So, I retract my previous statements and apologize for any harm they may have caused.

To review:
Santa Cruz good.
Kona good.
Trek bad.

Gung,
Did you know that you could change the letters in Kona to KOAN which in Zen is a nonsensical question? (really, look it up!)

If you changed the A in Kona to a B you could spell KNOB which is a protrusion. Guess you could use this method to get your bona!

BTW - You are very good at maintaining a conversation with yourself!

I know. I just noticed that I left the glue open on my desk.

Gungyhuffer,
I find that metalic spraypaint in a ziplock works well also...

[EVIL BOTA]

Well,

At least you didn't say .......

Specialized =BAD..

But I am no fool they do fall into the same catagory as Trek..

Some day When my money tree grows some leaves back.I will get a big boy bike..

Sorry dawgee I messed up your post.

Nice ride anywho!

[p_coutermarsh]

The irony here is if Santa Cruz was Trek they would purchase Kona to eliminate the competition, then give their new bikes horrific names like Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruz. Damn it....., now I'm getting sucked into this craziness. >:(

[SloMoJo]

You guys are nuts.

Dawg, that's very cool about you lovin your new ride. Those first few rides on the new rig you built are as good as sex!
......almost.

And ifyou break something each ride like me, then you get the joy of continually improving your rig.
Good for you man!

[Dawgee]

Its ok Gungy everyone is intitled to thier own opinon. There will ne no slappings unless youre into that kinda thing. My girl acutally would like me to build her a Kona they sound like awesome bikes. Agent where is Ryan park? I wont be able to make it thursday night but maybe some other time id love to try a night ride.

[Dawgee]

Evil you didnt mess up my post its a free country. its actually fun to read these posts. As long as were having fun and no one is getting mad at anyone else who cares.
Im easy ............. and cheap so my girl says.
