Amen.... Gerard...Amen..... I love my Sin!, it is my regular everyday bike, it rides like Bently, and slams like a ferrari when pushed.....people see this bike and it turns heads to this day, one of my buddies rode it and fell in love and wanted to buy it off me.. told him nope get your own..
I am happy MTC was purchased by the new owners from those" idiots" at "Special K" i call them..

Happily spreading the MT Cycle Mojo...

Also like to add, that I hope Kinesis isn’t causing this problem for you great folks at MC, I’d be very disappointed if they were playing those childish games. When you folks purchased MC to bring it back to life after Kenisis killed the bike line and product, id sure hope your money also got you the blue prints and frame prototypes to start rebuilding this great bike, if they didn’t give you everything then shame on them!.. Maybe you folk can change a line in the frame design and retool it to a new Mc San Andrea’s bike type. I wish you all the best and I’ll always be a MC loyal customer and fan.

See this is another reason why i truly endorse MC, I have two of your bikes and i push them to all my frineds and new biking buddies, i dont see any other bike company offering this and thus is the reason why i continue to purchase MC bikes.

Skellz...
I cut the post becasue last year, i had talked to the last tech guy cant recall his name begain with a P. Becasue i was putting on a different rear shock, and we talked for weeks about EtoE lengths, and spring loads, and when it came to time order my schock i order one and it was causing problems with my triple chainring so in order for it to work i had to make it a double ring, the clerance was an issues when i sat on the bike the mech. part in the front were the front deraillur was caused the frame to hit, so to stop the hitting of the box main frame to the rear frame i cut the post and that worked. Not thinking that i would use the frame again to build up a new Cross Country bike, i messed myself up by doing so. SOOOO.. now i am on the hunt for a San Andreas frame, ill check ebay ever often, and look back here from time to time. Its a shame i really really, loved that bike. Ill see if i can get the other type front der. as mentioned. if it doesnt work out then it becomes a single speed FS.. thanks everyone for your help..

So Where do you Park your MT Cycle?

I didnt see any thread as to " Say hello and Introduce, yourself" so i figured id start one.

Been an avid Mountain cycle customer since 2000 when i bought my first San andreas model year 2000, and i just did a frame up restore / re-paint rebuild, i had brought it to a custom body shop the specializes in Aluminium and powder coating ( ill post picks soon) these guys totally blew me away with the final paint and the frame look awsome, now i am custom building it up the paint scheme will be blue frame with white parts. i should have it done by June..

My second Mountain Cycle is a SIN, (sorry to see them gone), This one i purchased from Green fish sports (frame only) and built up to my specs, Marzocchii bomber frnt shock, xt groupo, i love this bike, its my everday cross country / freeride / get out and show the newbies something awsome and explain to them this bike kicks..Bleep....bleep & bleep..

so tell us about your Mountain Cycles...

Thanks\
