Talking My new AMG MODs, Command and a lot more!!!!

My next big mods would certainly be AMG bumpers and the Command unit ammong some other things but I was dreaming with a new toy, believe it or not, a new BIKE, but not one with an engine on it but some with pedals
Here she is, and for some months ahead, no more MODs
(I'm too excited with it and just wanted to share with you guys )

LOLOLLL

I will ask Marzocchi and Fox to see if there is any lowering kit for it, and then possibly I can drop it 200mm front and rear

Till now I think it was a good way to burn 4 grand

That Giant is pretty well equipped for XC! I wanted to get a FOX fork but wasn't ready to drop 900+ on it so instead got a Marzocchi.

Not really, because my Fox its a vanilla, a freeride forx and some more other parts, making the bike too heavy +-14kgs!!!

I always wanted one of those Giant XTC frames or maybe one of those dualies from Trek thats made from carbon. R u running tubeless? Is it really worth it?
My friend does DH hes got a monster of a bike, one of those P1 frames I think? Dont really know too much about DH. And I got myself one of those Cateye wireless comps...works pretty damn well

Not worth the money and the weigth, tubeless tires and wheels are heavier and you dont realise any changes, or just the bigger weigth
My XTC is not in carbon, its a 2003 model, only in 2004 carbon models where available.
Your friend could have a B1 not a P1 I think

Tubeless isn't worth it. My dad's friend is running tubeless on a Santa Cruz Blur and those things are honestly not worth the money. He still experiences problems with them and to get it fixed he has to take them to the shop. Regular tires are great, take out the tube, replace it, pump it, and you're riding. Takes only 10-15min once you get good at the process , also a lot cheaper!

Come on guys, you gotta get the Mercedes-Benz MB to get command. I remember seeing one at a dealership. Pretty cool.

The only one that seems decent is the Porsche one but its not worth the 2 grand and even then if I had to chose Id go with my bike because I custom built it from the best stuff I could buy and these bikes all source parts from $150 Toys-R-Us bikes. The name isnt worth it the only name I caught on there was Trek and thats the lowest end Trek Ive seen in a long time. If I had to buy a bike for 2K itd have a carbon fiber dualie with the latest Fox XC fork full XTR drivetrain and so on and so forth.

"The bike is equipped with Shimano Deore LX technology, one of the highest quality pieces of equipment currently available on the market."

Since when is LX highest quality??? Its not BAD at all but its not highest quality and esp not for that much money, a bike with auto tranny whats the point, what if you want to pedal faster to get a different workout or something?
