    GT still hasn't replaced the rear for my DHi. Is that laughing and snickering I hear? I really do
    hate feather weight XC bike so I've adapted the Litespeed to simulated the old ride (no, I didn't
    put the Shiver on it LOL!). Still trying to dial it in on the drops and where's all that screaming
    coming from?

    LOL! Sick, Shaun, sick. =) Great pic, though... wish we could hear from you more often!

    A quick ebay search only turned up a complete frame... and he's asking $1250 for it... I had no idea
    those things were so expensive! I guess the Romic he's got on there is like $400 though, but that's
    new! This guy needs to half his prices.

    heheh, maybe if he gets discouraged enough, he'll sell you just the swingarm. =)

    I had one of those for a while. It's funny listening to the oof sounds you get from the back over
    bumps. One time I took them up a long steep fireroad climb, I was really panting hard and weaving,
    then over my breathing I hear them chanting something: "I think I can, I think I can....." - LOL, I
    almost lost it.

    Been there done that, removed the helmets.

    My kid's helmets always slid forward and back in our trailer so we eventually dumped the helemts
    (after doing a rollover test, our trailer had five poiint harnesses and a full cage over them).

    I loved the "faster daddy!" squeels from the trailer but brake fade was nasty (should have
    had discs).

    My boy still just says "Ehhhhh!", but I think I know that he means "Faster, Daddy!". We also have a
    nice 5 point system. It seems pretty good but I haven't tried a rollover test yet. He's a little
    young to understand yet.

    I'm definitely skipping the rollover test. My son will keep wanting to do it over and over. Again,
    again dad!

    say aren't those kids big enough for a tag-along? There were a couple of those on the easy trails at
    Brundage doing the easy DH with mom and/or dad.
