So I got my new bike... I toiled long and hard at a lot of exotics, but the economy had it's way and I couldn't get the bike I had in mind... Enter the 2008 Flatline 3.

I work part time in a small shop that deals Rocky. I've had 2 of them previously (RM7, newer Switch) and liked them well. The 2 bikes in question had their issues, so I was gun-shy of ever owning another one. This bike was a pre season order in my size and when it showed up, I was astounded! This machine is the real deal for Rocky. After doing the standard p-lot speed lap, I put my paycheck on it!

It's stock right now with the additions of a Hadley/823 wheelset I had hanging on the wall, (for previous said exotic frame...) and I also bolted on my trusty leg scarring Syncros pedals. XTR cassette with XO/X9 controls too. Future changes will involve some weight savings. Notibly a ti spring, alloy rear axel, new Saint cranks (when they come out...) and a new fork. Not sure if I'll go single crown, or upgrade to the 888 WC...

3 rides in and I'm stoked. You can't bump this thing off line. Shove your outside foot into a turn and the bike digs in! Next stop; Whistler for 3 days of bike park mayhem... :thumbsup:

As a matter of fact, I live in the year 1998. Wife's camera, but for my trip I'm going to invest in an Olympus 1030SW today for action shots. :thumbsup:

The pics are reduced in size so it doesn't take me an hour to upload them on my 1998 era dial-up connection... At least my bike's current. :lol:

I can't decide if i like the look of that frame or not.. but I do like how it squishes, IF i had the money for a DH frame this would definitely be on the short list.

have fun up at whistler, I'm heading up the last weekend of July, so get some pics for some online stokage

That icon is totally unnecessary and childish. A simple "nice bike!" would've suffice. This isn't pink bike.


BTW: nice bike man, despite it looking like it weighs 45-7lbs, I dig the hydroformed tubing.

i dont know if its the color or the the fact that there is no sticker on the down tbe but it looks less demo-ish then other pics which means i think it looks hot.

Wish I could. Stupid PP test next week for work.

Haven't checked, but I'm guessing 45-46... There's some heft in the cranks, axel, and spring that I will deal with, funds allowing...

WCH, I don't really have words for your animation except I'm sore from laughing at it...
