Mykill Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Anxious to hear about the Airborne too. That will be my next bike I think, I almost bought one then the LBS made me a great deal on my GT. Gonna hit Alum in tomorrow if it dries out (and it should). I need to build some offroad endurance, I've been a lazy ass this winter.P2 is good. P1 might be iffy. What time you going? I was going to ride in the AM.

swingset Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 P2 is good. P1 might be iffy. What time you going? I was going to ride in the AM.Around noon is the earliest I can get there. I figured P1 was still greasy in too many spots, never dries out in the spring I was gonna ride P2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motozachl Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Did they break it?Nope I just really don't like missing packages because I have to sign for them when I am never home during the day. Ended up working from home this morning so I could catch the fedex dude.It took all of about 10 minutes to unpack and put together so mad props there airborne! The seat is so effing hard though so that's going right into the garbage/ebay. Seems a bit on the heavy side but like the massive tubed frame like a giant talon. I still had old canti-lever brakes on my giant 26" so these new hydraulic disc brakes are pimp. The seat post on its lowest setting is where I feel most comfortable thus I still feel like a should've gotten the small however this one still feels good. The standover is a bit scarey since I only have about an inch or so. Hoping I can ride this weekend so I can give more of a review but for now I now give it an 7/10 because of the hard seat, weight, and sizing advice.

CBBaron Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 well, i guess you'll find out. I think regardless of the seat you get, your arse will hurt after 30 minutes of sitting on it.+1Actually big fat comfy seats are OK for 30+ minutes of casual cycling. But if you are exerting yourself and pedaling some revolutions they suck.Personally Im a fan of BrooksMy fatbike and commuter both have B17's but they are expensive and heavy.However gel and "anatomical" seats are worthless in my opinion. Good for that 20 min ride around the neighborhood but not much else.Much better to get a cycling short. Just get a pair of the spandex shorts with chamois and wear them under your regular shorts.Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
