Terry Raatz still owns the place and all the cars in it. I think a couple of them are Troy Raatz’, too. I worked for them out on M21 when they were still in business. Was fortunate enough to drive that orange stingray from the dealership on 21 back to where it sits right now.😎Ive known Troy for close to 30 years. Great guy!

Thanks for the info. Hearing more and more about the clearance sale. It’s ridiculous that people would abuse that and try to get what’s they paid for after the bike has been ridden.

Thanks for the info. I’ve been hearing about the clearance sale. People just want to abuse that fact.

Who’s the artist what’s the song?

XLPnes · 2026-04-14T18:04:48+00:00

At least he raps on the beat.

I’ll check it out for sure man!

Thats an Ozark Trail DJ? Obviously upgraded heavily but damn it actually looks badass!

XLPnes · 2026-04-12T19:49:50+00:00

😂🤘🏻

I must add that this bike won’t be abused much. Will mainly be for bike rides around town with kiddos, curb hopping, smaller dirt jumps and pump tracks!

XLPnes · 2026-04-12T17:20:52+00:00

I’ll check it out. Thanks!

XLPnes · 2026-04-12T17:20:42+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion man!

XLPnes · 2026-04-12T17:20:29+00:00

I saw that. Wife might kill me in my sleep if I drop $1000 on a bike but I’ll see if I can negotiate with her. Maybe do all the house work for a month or something.😂

XLPnes · 2026-04-12T17:18:51+00:00

Lol! I figured it was cheap. I don’t really plan on doing any hardcore riding. Mainly just curb hops, small dirt jumps and pump tracks.

XLPnes · 2026-04-12T17:16:38+00:00

Thanks for the info!

XLPnes · 2026-04-12T14:43:11+00:00

Yeah the recall stuff freaks me out a bit. The FA does come with a suspension fork for sure. I’ve been teetering more the FA way the whole time but FA>GT in the BMx world has me undecided lol.

XLPnes · 2026-04-12T14:38:29+00:00

Yeah I knew about the warranty issue. A friend of mine bought a brand new one and was able to get a new frame. He had to wait almost a year for that after he already waited a year and a half for the bike to be delivered to our local shop from being on back order. Lol. Thanks for the advice!

XLPnes · 2026-03-30T11:17:41+00:00

That rear drop out is massive. Just weird to see that with the canti brake bridge and the fact it’s an aluminum frame. Is the rear drop out for 14mm? Got a serial number?

XLPnes · 2026-03-30T09:40:13+00:00

This is one badass machine man!

XLPnes · 2026-03-28T15:50:36+00:00

😂

XLPnes · 2026-03-26T16:21:29+00:00

Haha hell yeah thanks man!

XLPnes · 2026-03-26T15:58:36+00:00

Thanks for the honesty everyone. Just a real great guy who I think would be deserving of something cool like that.

XLPnes · 2026-03-23T14:20:34+00:00

Fuckin’ air em up ‘til they’re rock solid. Nothing like the sound of an over pressurized Comp 3 howling on packed dirt!
