I'm really not ready to buy but...

What size is the frame on the RFX? And how much does it weigh?

Size medium and I don't know what it weighs, prolly in the mid 30's is my guess.

what's the price on the uzzi?

Intense UZZI, DHX-5 coilover shock, red, small stickered at $2600cad.

- Intense UZZI DHX-5 coilover, grey, medium, $2600 (frame only) currently built with Boxxer team, sun s-type rims, Sram x-9, avid juicy 7, hussfelt howitzer cranks, stickered at $4950cad.

Those are the stickered sale prices. I can do better but I don't know how much right now because I'm at my job that pays me money instead of costing me money (bike shop).

It's like sex on wheels.

Never mind, it is on wheels.

Well, the tuition bill I just paid says no to a new bike at the moment (as does the fiance, bank balance and common sense).

I think we can do $2300cad ($2040usd). As I said above, I'll have to double check that.

Nice idear boys, ...sounds like a great bike, but The Home Depot took my bike money (courtesy of the money pit). Maybe if The Beav knocks off another 3K I could afford it. :redface:

Too big for me either way.

The one about snowtigress badly needing 7.75 in the rear but not being prepared to pay full price for it?

Yeah that was better. Sorry.

Kidwoo-aren't you supposed to be at Mammoth?
and
Natedogg- Aren't you supposed to be *playing soccer*?

And stop talking about people behind their backs!:cussing:

Riding Arty's 5spot yesterday makes me even sadder that I cannot purchase the rfx. I am ruined for my existing bike.
09-24-2006, 01:32 PM
Natedogg

LOL, yeah that one.

Sorry Tigress, next time we will just PM back and forth so you don't know we are talking about you behind your back. ;)

BTW, to get this thread somewhat back on track, get a credit card and buy this doods VPX. I guarantee that you won't regret it. If you do end up regretting it, I'll buy it from you. I'm sure it'll come in handy when I finally find my ski/bike/sail hottie... :rolleyes:

I came back last night. You know how sometimes you have an injury, decide to ignore it and then get a painful reminder that you're still not 100%.

Yeah that.

So I've got one of those uzzi vpx bikes. Unless you've been talking about getting a dh bike or a heavy freeride bike, I wouldn't let myself get talked into that frame. It's fun to ride downhill but climbing it might make you despise mountain biking.

Sucks dude. I hear ya. Just re-injured my knee with the fake ACL playing soccer 2 weeks ago and I keep pushing it too hard and not letting it rest and un-swell cause it's too hard to sit around and not join in on the fun...
Hope you heal up quick...snow season is coming soon! :the_finge

Do me a favor and remind me of that. The thought of getting pitched foreward over my skis and having nothing but a damaged hamstring to resist it had never occured to me. Really.

Thank you. No I mean that.

Quit playing soccer. go ride your bike

Snowtigress - a big bike WOULD be rad for you. And the way you're riding, you'll handle it like a rockstar. The girl's a natural, I tell ya.

I'm so stoked to finally have a ripping maggette to ride with who can tear it up on the trails. And who doesn't mind bruises and bleeding on the trail!!

Kidwoo - that sucks - really sorry to hear that. Take it easy and heal up.

No shit, we've got 4 bikes at $4500+. I really need to sell these bikes. If anyone is serious drop me a PM and we'll talk. No prices listed in this thread are fixed. I'll sell them at cost if I can convince my partner to agree to it, I'm pretty sure he would.

To recap:

Turner RFX meduim - built
Intense UZZI VPX medium - built
Intense 6.6 medium - built
Intense UZZI VPX - small - frame only but all parts available for a real nice build.

They're all unbuildable if you want a frame only or modifiable to your prefered build if we have the parts requested available.

The UZZI VPX just sold for $3950CAD.

Anyone want to make me an offer on one or all of these bikes?

Turner RFX meduim - see my first post for build specs.
Intense 6.6 medium - Nixon platinum fork, avid Juicy 7 brakes & other good stuff.
Intense UZZI VPX - small - frame only - could be built to your specs

Bump for new and improved pricing.

Ok, I'm now in a position to realistically consider buying. And I'm sorely tempted. I'm on the fence between a M and L frame (shortis legs, moderate body)

Some of the parts aren't exactly what I'm wishing for.
What weight spring is on the DHX? I'm somewhere in the 220lb range
The Fork is also not what I'm looking for. I'm thinking more of the 66RCX2, or possibly Magura Wotan(air), Lyric (coil)

I guess what it comes down to is what are the possiblities of changing out a couple parts or is the whole thing being sold in a firm "as is". I guess I could buy and then sell off the parts I don't want to fund new ones.

It's an as is deal. My partner and I have had a difference of opinion so I bailed. He owes me heaping quantities of money so I'd walk in take the bike, ship it to you and knock $4100 off what he owes me.

I'm 6'1 with longish legs and if I were buying it would be a medium. My Rocky Mt is a medium and i like it that size.

nater, call or email Turner and ask about sizing. The new RFX has a little shorter TT, and you might fit better on last year's medium than the 07 medium.

You can also buy a sick custom spec RFX from larry (mountain high cyclery) or chad (redbarn) for around $4K, with modest priorities in choices and very little compromise.

Ps. Re: your sig: Mel Marcus was one of my academic mentors. He died during a snow and ice processes field class in Silverton, CO. Sigh. Great guy!

Yeah, currently exchanging emails with the Turner folks. Given my more heavy XC trailriding needs and how I fit pretty cleanly in the Medium of either year, they kind of thing I might be happier with the lighter more AM RFX of this year (but then the also get one more new frame sold...)

Mel Marcus was a damn fine thinker.

We need to ski or ride together sometime Nate! I have lots of mel stories and would like to hear more about how you know of mel.

Good luck with the bike choice. I hope to have my new bike within weeks. And then its down to Fruita/Moab to wear off the new bike smell. Going from a flux to an rfx is going to be quite a transition for me and my xc ways. I may even drop some curbs now and then. I'm gonna be rad! :rolleyes2
