Bike Test Tuesday


Every so often a rider shows up to FT3 with a new rig. A long time ago it was typically the rider formerly known as "Rock God," now known as "Retired Guy." Other times it was XTeric, and at times it would be Councilman, but he no longer rides so...We all look in awe and jealousy as said rider unloads the rig and prepares their kit for shredding. Sometimes, it is tough to keep up with the "FT3er's."

One rider who has not brought a new ride to the taco table for some time is the veteran "No Handle." He hasn't mounted a new MTB since the youthful members of Team 1 crushed the Coolest 24 Hour race  nearly a decade ago.

Good news is, the bike he has been riding was one of the top ten products of 2010 (according to 29 inches magazine).





Word on the street is that he is shopping for the latest and greatest and is interested in 'copping a feel' of a few of the finer rigs present in the FT3 quivers. So bring out your best, let him put them to the test, 'cause tonight's riding conditions are sure to be the best!


(Post edited by NoHandle - Cappy your mention of 24 hr race made me nostalgic.  While I could not find proof that I actually did not have my Stumpy back during Team 1, this pic from the 2nd race of Dear RL in the mud pit with Ghost is priceless.
Great write up.

ONE!

    Is that old Stumpy even rideable? Are we going to take turns jogging, so NH can test our bikes?

    Not sure the seat will drop enough for your test ride NoHandle. But you can sure try a lap on it.

  4. Anyone want to test ride a sweet 29" Carbon Hard Tail - super fast with the right pilot.
