I'm not convinced that bike is right for anything. :/ I mean, its not really the point of a bike really I suppose, but, ... The most fun bike i've road all year had a 67" long front fork and needed a steel cable to keep it from folding in half. Certainly deserved its 6 star difficulty. Chunk 666 drinks... allot... you expect that sort of bikes out of Chunk 666. They made a bike from nothing but springs once.. the only 10star bike in their fleet. It really is unridable. > That Dunelt looks like a damn good bike, and one that I'd be proud to > own. It will probably outlive you; hopefully.

I'll stick with my Garymond. ... half Gary Fisher, Half lemond road bike. Its done the STP classic twice now. I just want an intresting bike to look at.
