Those are surprisingly good bikes, IMHO. And when you put a better rear shock on them, they're very good.

 

[saviorself]

my friend used to have the same exact bike minus the dice and front rim.

yeah, one of my friends has one with a drop off tripple and a 5th element cvt/5, it feels so good

Sweet bike, agree change the rear shock.

Sweet bike, agree change the rear shock.

i really dont see that it is nessecary to change it, its a fox vanilla r so i think it will hold up for a while, plus i am only 15 and i pay for all of my stuff, and i dont have a job so it is hard to throw down the 300 plus for a new rear shock

If your not loosing the chain it wouldnt hurt to upgrade the shock over adding a guide. The bike looks awsome dont get me wrong, i understand money dont grow on trees. If i was 15 & had that bike i would be stoked & the heck what people say.

i see what your saying, yeah i would get a shock over the chainguide but im buying the e13 srs off from a friend for 40 bucks, u cant beat that, but if i wasnt getting the chain guide for 40 bucks i definetly would get a shock.

Oh, I thought...

it was one of those Fusion shocks that come on some of those models. I'd agree...the Fox R is a quite decent shock. That bike does improve with a stable platform model. I really like mine. And please...no unkind comments about the uncut steerer. It's the only pic I have before deciding on how much to cut.

yeah, my friend had one of those on his x1 and he snapped it in half, then he upgraded to a cvt/5, id say that is a big upgrade

Nice build. I've got an '04 x3 frame for 150 bucks new, threw a 2001 z1 , deore cranks and avid bb brakes on it, and have been enjoying it. Christmas time is here though, so now it's got a sram x7 drivetrain, with an ebay'd foxRC with propedal and a pike on the way.

why dont you like the z1? is it too old or do u just want more of a street/dj fork?

 

[nobody242424]

sweetness man i loved my haro, served me well and i learned alot on it. i just bought a foes fly, which im stoked on, to replace mine. and knowing how hard it is to pay for this sport at 15(im 15) i thought i would just add that i am now parting out my haro and will be sellin stuff for a pretty good price, so if wer interseted, a list of all the stuff is in my profile. so ya sorry for the spam, and nice ride. haros are kickass....

is that frame big enough

What's a good shock to replace the stock Vanilla R? Just wondering.
