O.T. FXBike

l see that most here enjoy a wide variety of riding styles and am wondering if anyone here has ordered an FX Bike as well?
I hope to see mine in October.

Erric,

I'm going with the standard 2007 Team bike and am building a close-ration 4speed trans with primary drive manual clutch.
Tough call but that titanium frame comes at a premium price!
Though I doubt there is any other bike that you could reduce
total sprung weight by 20% for four large!

Acid,

www.fxbikes.com

The bike is a hybrid between a motocross/trials/mountain bike and weighs in at 99lbs ready to ride in titanium or 125lbs ready to ride in chrome moly. Powered by honda's horizontal single, which of course is infinitely tunable. As you will likely see in the future it is perfect for where I live, I can keep on the side of the
house ready to go. Throw it over the fence and rip.
