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.

They're all unbuildable if you want a frame only or modifiable to your prefered build if we have the parts requested available.Last edited by Beaver; 09-25-2006 at 06:02 PM.

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."if the city is visibly one of humankind's greatest achievements, its uncontrolled evolution also can lead to desecration of both nature and the human spirit."

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.You are what you eat.

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...)

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!
