Prophet26 Added a comment about feature Aaron Gwin's Size XL Intense M29 with Kenda Tires - Intense Factory Racing 2019 Unveiled
1/23/2019 4:18am
Neko is from Reading Pennsylvania originally. I lived near there and I had the pleasure of watching him dominate the Duryea DH race they had there for a bit. I saw him there in 2007 when he was on Specialized. I didn't get to meet him but I was told he is a class act for sure. Great to see him on Intense and constant team mates with Gwin. They're 2 of my favorite riders. I wish them a great season!

Depends on what side of the pond you're on and how far you swim.

Prophet26 Added a reply to Little Black Book (of bikes) | Can you remember all your mountain bikes?
8/1/2018 6:05am So many long lists. Mine is very short. 1. Walgoose Rockadile (dear Lord, the name) that I began upgrading because I couldn't a afford a real frame. 2. 07 Cannondale caffeine when I could afford a real frame. 3. 05 Cannondale Prophet. I initially cannibalized the parts from the caffeine build and then replaced them with better stuff over time...
Prophet26 Added a reply to 2018 Racing Rumors
7/4/2018 8:34am At least it isn't some weird ass Santa Cruz color. Or nuclear yellow with purple graphics. I'm old school but primary colors rule. I get that people like the new style but then the alt colors are always gray black monochrome boring. Pivot's red and black 5.5 color is nice though.

Only one possible choice listed here for my admittedly ancient 2005 Prophet at 27.2. I'd love to find one in that diameter with 125+ mm of travel. All I see is 100 and that's a bit short. Good write up otherwise. Can't please us all and I'll upgrade eventually.

Both are absolutely kickin builds. I am a total suckered for that black and red though. Kudos to both of you!

Prophet26 Added a reply to It's Always The Little Crashes That Get You - What's Your Story?
7/28/2016 6:11am I was at Dirtfest 2014 here in central PA at the Allegripis Trail system along Raystown Lake. These trails are fast and flowing machine made trails in spots. That's not very common in PA. I was riding my XC hard tail on a trail called Osprey that I'd ridden only once before earlier that day. The section I went down...
Prophet26 Added a reply to Which bike do you regret buying?
7/19/2016 7:24pm This might not actually count because I ended up really liking the bike. It was just a major pain in the ass getting it trail worthy. This previous Christmas I scored a near mint 05 Prophet frame on ebay for a good price. It's my first FS bike (I'm a little behind I know) and I've wanted a Prophet since...
Prophet26 Added a reply to The Internet Was Wrong: Short Chainstays Suck*
7/18/2016 8:26pm My 05 Prophet CS measurement comes in at 16.5" but that's with a shorter front and 90-110mm stems. Funny how much geo changed in 11 years. Swung one way and now to the other in the long slack front end department. Now with such short CS measurements in favor I can see it middling out. 17-17.5" seems about right in...
Prophet26 Added a reply to Riding Solo - Love It or Hate It?
6/22/2016 5:34pm I ride solo. I also ride at a popular spot so I'm never really alone. Even if I were it's at a popular state Park that itself is not too remote. As has been said riding is my therapy. I love getting lost in the woods for a few hours to just clear my head of all the crap going...

This looks great! Too bad for me that most new dropper posts don't come in 27.2. My old school Prophet is very limiting that way. I like the price point and features otherwise.
