You guys really are what motivates us to make new and exciting products. For 2003 I focused the line squarely at the needs of riders. For the SGS-Series this is obviously you guys, the downhillers and freeriders. I designed the line to better suit your needs on the mountain, in the woods, and on the trails. I have done my best to listen to what you guys are saying out there through forums like this one, on the trails, and at the races. This truly is a line by riders, for riders! Also, I want to thank Jon and Brady for working hard to get this info out to you guys. I picked H-Cor to debut these bikes because I knew it was where the heart and soul of the riding community comes. There's no politicing, no funny business; just friends on the boards and on the trails! Enjoy the 03 line and please feel free to post your comments! -ska todd Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2002 8:39 am Acadian Ms. Hcor-net   Joined: Sep 6, 2002 Posts: 8005 Location: Made In Canada|Living in USA noticed that the 2003 line of bikes have the e.13 guide _________________ PinkBike::Iron Horse::e.thirteen Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2002 9:03 am Buetang JeffD's mailman 2-11   Joined: Sep 6, 2002 Posts: 3992 Location: Atlanta ( o , 0) Acadian wrote: noticed that the 2003 line of bikes have the e.13 guide Hmm.. wonder if dw had anything to do with that. I think the reason for you picking Hcor is very cool ska todd. It's good to know we're viewed that way. _________________ fookie Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2002 11:27 am Style 495mtbcrew   Joined: Sep 7, 2002 Posts: 6734 Location: Foxboro Ma Anybike that comes speced with profiles and an e13 guide, just f**king rules plain and simple. Its about time company did that. I remember when Iron Horse was that much of a house name around here. That all changed with the Chain Reaction serries. Im thinking my next bike is going to be an Iron Horse Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2002 11:29 am atom Team Hcor.net   Joined: Sep 7, 2002 Posts: 3811 Location: Strong Island, NY Whats the price on the SGS-DH? around same as last year?? I think its great you guys offer a more than capable DH bike equiped with the best shit for as cheap as you do. Its a wonder why other companies cant do the same!! Good Job!

These are some dam-ned fine looking machines Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2002 12:03 pm NotAllThatYET Burner   Joined: Sep 6, 2002 Posts: 162 Location: Body By Bike I have not seen any of these bikes in my local area. I have heard about them once in a while, probably from the members of this board. I took a peek and all I can say is, "Mmmmmm! YummY ! Can I have sooome?! I drool for an up close look at the TEAM bike. The cockpit geometry looks good for my preferences and it comes stock with some top rate components. Most of the line has echoes of the Intense line of bikes (a good thing in my book). But if your company was taking rider preferences in account, then any Fast, Strong Downhill bike will look similar I guess. Is it going to be that area of price range too? The Hollowpoint frame shapes remind me of like the SC bullit (when it is small frame and doesn't have the funny little curve). My view is that of someone new to Mountain bikng and full suspension bikes. But I am wanting to buy a frame I can race with in the near future. Looks like your bike just made 2nd on my list of 5 finalists to consider Last edited by NotAllThatYET on Mon Sep 30, 2002 12:06 pm; edited 2 times in total _________________ JERK, Future Darling of the DH .....Earth first!

Are u guys the first to use the e13 guides? Looks like u got a really nice leg up as far as usin the 1.5. And that camo green SGS is total badass, never really seen a color like that. It seems to me the sinister has much steeper head angle than the bikes george and kyle had? Those looked more like the stout to me... Cant wait to see all these get out n about, way good stuff. _________________ DJBB www.e13components.com www.495bmx.com Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2002 1:55 pm chillindrdude Kingpin   Joined: Sep 6, 2002 Posts: 2309 Location: Chi-Ca-Go will you be coming out with a similar product guide for the Be-One bikes? thanks _________________ Trust me, I'm a doctor...

I think that the SGS Pro and Expert will sell like hot cakes. I have a question... how similar are your front triangles on the SGS series to the FTW Motorhead? Do they use the same tubing? Also, what changes have gone in to the frame this year? _________________ "I don't give a damn about my reputation" Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2002 6:41 pm narlus Dog House   Joined: Sep 8, 2002 Posts: 1413 Location: 53.4° N 6.2° W hey ska todd - why the big difference in prices (1500 vs 800) between the SGS pro and team? i am sure hte 5th element is a big component, but not $700 worth. what else different? _________________ Yuppie wrote: Flames make everything faster, stronger, and better.

Also, what changes have gone in to the frame this year? I am not sure where FTW gets his tubing but I can tell you there is no connection between the two bikes. From last year we have added a 1.5" headtube. We also changed the dropout and the linkage. These will be VERY different from last year's model. These changes didn't make it to the catalog. Watch for pics from the trade show. -ska todd Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2002 9:38 pm ska todd
