If you're cheap, buy one of these:

That ugly green bastard has bad ass parts. You could literally part it out and make money if you decided you didn't like it.

The Sette is very good too, but the fork is better on the Goblin and it's a little cheaper.

If you want something you can buy locally, it'll cost you an extra few hundred bucks.

Specialized Carve Expert Notice how many of these parts are cheaper than the Sette above.

Cannondale Flash3

This bike is absolutely ridiculous for the money. This is a bad motherfucker, and it's on blowout clearance for $1700

There are 5 performance bike shops around town.
If you buy any of those bikes above and don't enjoy riding, you'll be able to sell them or part it out and get the lion's share of your money back.

I laughed. Solid post.

[Osiris]

Yep not sure how long it's been since you've been out at river legacy but it's a good fast ~8 miles. It's still flat and easy but good for base miles and hauling ass.

December. I've done about ~120 miles overall there.

srsly.....$1k+ and a ni66a cant even get pedals?????

god bless.

I like the green one, nice setup too. Some new wheels and you will be ready to rock.

You don't want the pedals that would come on that bike anyways. You will at least get some free reflectors that you can throw away.

thoughts??

thinking about the one above or the airborne goblin.

thanks gents!!!

god bless.

[Beej]

That is a pretty well setup bike. You would be good to go for along time. That should take the abuse and laugh at it. Only thing that you might have to replace eventually is the wheels, but that is long down the road if you get real serious.

Get the goblin.
The BAMF site is ass backwards on sizing.

That bike you posted:
Handlebar: BAMF Flying Armbar Aluminum

Looking to do an upgrade in lighting. Current setup is a walmart bell brand halogen ziptied to my helmet and a KNOG usb rechargable LED.

I want something mountable to the bike and I dont mind running a remote battery pack as long as I can get the right amount of light. I like the pod concept, but I really think a "light bar" across the center of the bars would look pretty righteous.
The question is 5" or 9" wide light bar.

http://www.visionxusa.com/LED-Xmitter_Low_Profile_Xtreme_Light_Bar/c1_214/index.html

In addition to a handlebar mounted light I would also like something up high too, it would be nice to run both light sources from the same battery pack

[TeeShock]

Also my dream highball

^Custom colors are NOT offered on the carbon frame. Which would bring this bike down to 23lbs

Running both from the same pack means that you'd be attached to your bike. Not so streamlined.

Dude, just get a GeminiTitan XML and go ride.

I forgot that I already have a 900 Lumen 10watt 10degree spot Solstice 2" pod in my garage. (Just need to build a battery rig for it and buy a bar mount) Ill order a gemini for my helmet.

Winning!
