still havent got a chance to ride the bb7 yet but it will be set up with a camo sherman slider+. 24/26" doublewides, profiles, hayes purples and all that other good stuff
my evil was setup with all the same components but with a monster t. i recently sold the fork and am in the process of either buying a new one or selling it and buying a trials motorcycle. i love my evil more than anything in the world. it was impractical but great for freeriding that didnt involve much uphill.
i think it all comes down to the rider and getting comfortable with yourself on the bike. of course the better the bike you have the easier it is going to make things
ive never raced, thats about the only thing ive never got in to.(xc too) freerider would be my riding style but i dont like to put limits on my riding style. i ride alot of steep tree filled terrain with alot of skinny bridge work. the evil has school'd it all from rock slabs to even a bit of urban (monster t limits that) but i think with a more practical fork (5" sc or 6or7" dc) you could take anything to school with this bike!
ive owned a banshee morphine, p3 and ridden most of the common hardtails and nothing has ever felt as comfortable as the evil's. i would suggest one to ANYONE! little pricey but if you can afford it, DO IT
i will lay down the lowdown on the bb7 in a week or 2 when i get it going!
RIP Sam Brown. Thanks for the Inspiration, creativity and progression.
