Absolutely wild handlebar ends and frame there, Admin.

Would probably be a challenge trying to find a rear rack to fit it, eh?

Inverted tread tires on it?

I don't believe there would be any way of installing a rack. From what I can gather it's a downhill bike and basically about one of a kind. They only made a few of that particular bike in 1995

I think a seatpost rack would work fine. Here's one I used one on my mtn bike before I sold it.



Nice bike admin, how much does it weigh?

Heck, that ain't bad for a DH bike!!! In fact, I think it's pretty good for a double suspension, cross country bike too.

Usually, you want a DH bike to be heavy.

How is the pogo on that?

Yea, I guess I should have said that's light for a DH bike but it's a decent weight for a double suspension CC bike.
