Trek 9000 diving board bike

[FirstFlight]

Not one of our most "collectible" bikes but it was an interesting experiment.

I had one of those Showa DDS forks back in the day. What a hunk of poo. :cry:

Very nice specimen of the complete bike. Makes me want chocolate donuts...

When these were new, we got one in pretty early to try it out. I took it home, rode it once , went back to the shock and put a "sale" tag on it. So wrong in so many ways.

how did it ride?

 

[cchris2lou]

It is in nice condition , but what a crap bike to ride . I have neevr seen a rear end flex so much . there was more travel sideways than up and down .

Most of the early suspension bikes I rode put me off them - I never rode one of these but the guys in the shop had some entertaining stories from the demo model they had.

It didn't like the "halfpipe" test very much and went back to Trek UK in two boxes.

On a side note... Trek have made some real rubbish full suspension systems over the years.

Very nice, I'd ride it!

Been looking for one of those in the UK for a while now. There was a really rough one a while back on eBay.
