Re: [RBW] Staff Bikes - Mark's Bontrager

My 12 year old son rides a Bontrager MTB. He has no clue how 'cool' it 
really is. 

Just make sure he understands how UNcool it really is if it gets stolen or 
trashed... (My son frequently rode to his buddy's house on my Salsa Ala 
Carte... I had to have 'the talk' with him first...)

My brother's 1992 Bontrager (pre-Trek) is still an awesome bike. Rides equal to 
my Bstone MB, which is still my #1 pure dirt choice. I told him he should not 
listen to our other friends who are constantly urging: "upgrade, new bike, get 
it."

Yep. A Bontrager CX bike would be great. I don't know if Rock Lobster still 
makes Nontragers, but you could always ask...

I have a 95 Bontrager Race straight from the Santa Cruz shop. Don't ride it 
enough, but every time I do it puts a silly grin on my face. It sports a not 
very impressive Rock Shox Mag fork and I've thought more than once about 
ordering a custom rigid fork; I've raced short track with it, and there's 
another local racer who has a Race Lite with the sweet Bontrager rigid fork - 
covet! Hadn't occurred to me to consider a 650b conversion. Hmmm. Of all my

[RBW] Staff Bikes - Mark's Bontrager

2013-02-13 Thread Philip Williamson
I love Mark's bikes, but hadn't seen the Bontrager before. Nice Santa Cruz 
style two-piece stays, and presumably non-original 650B front end. I've thought 
about doing the same, but don't have the stones. I think a Kona P2 would work, 
but Mark's fork looks like a custom segmented Igleheart, or similar. Has anyone 
chatted with him about how he likes the setup?
