It's because Trek had some left over parts to the diesel.

I like the NC crew, try to not take everything so literally, and you will see the humor come through.

Also, final warning, I don't want to close this topic, but if hostilities continue, I have no choice.

This should be two threads
1....I broke my bruiser
2....The NC crew sucks!
Don't close it Kona,they need a place to hate us(mostly me) and this is a good place to do that.

Also, if something doesnt work for you doesnt mean it doesnt work for other people.
I thought I was very arrogant........anyhow,I don't 'dis freeriders at all. If it weren't for freeriding I don't think you would see many long travel trail bikes.The last spring forum ride we were on bikes like the SX Trail, Banshee Chap.,Bullit,Coiler ect. Freeriding has really pushed the sport and improved equipment. Wade Simmons is my hero! I don't remember throwing down on freeriding,if I did it was my bad. As far as my sig, That came from a group ride where we were called a bunch of freeriders and someone in our party in his best Kip Dynomite voice said"your moms a freerider". That group ride incuded Gastro,Hambone and others. If you don't like me it's ok,but I totally respect freeriders.

Well first i felt my pedals skid along the ground. Im like what the. Then it pretty much skids to a stop and I get off. I guess since it was i n the middle, it was harder for me to fly over the bars.

I though metal should be a little thiker than that. Very unusual fracture you've got there.

Welds create weak spots, HUGE unneccasary gussets take lots of welds.

someone wrote something about 1500 pound spring? thats crazy.
