Sir Kirbitoy!
Do you have any pics of the talon frame? I cannot seem to find a talon frame at mongoose.com.
Thanks

cool yung Mongoose Talon, it's almost undestructable. hehehe. stack rear shock nya is DNM. you can replace it with a DNM with a piggy back thing(yung may adjustments!?? ) or with a rock shox na may rebound adjustment. problem nga lang is dehins agad kakasya. i think you need to make some modifications to the sping of the shocks and you need to make lagare dun sa kabitan ng front derailleur para bumaba yung swing arm and mag-fit yung rear shocks. yung TALON yun yung kapatid ng Mongoose MGX FS frame design ma maikli lang ang Travel pero Matibay! Hehehe...

tnx again charles! sa uulitin! nice deal pre! the mongoose talon is the frame without the most blings like intense, sta. cruz, norco, kona, etc. it's not the best in technology like the horst link 4 bar linkage.... but it's the best out there for people on a chowking budget! very affordable, very strong (check out the gussets in this frame) die cast design, and dehins ka maiiyak pag nagasgasan or mabarag, dahil magaan sa bulsa! you just have to modify some minor aspects, like installing good rear shocks, sawing out the excess tubing in the front derailer, and converting the pivot into a sealed bearing type, para pambaragan na! mongoose talon for DH? it's very capable, the frame's virtually indestructible! however, i plan to use it for FR/AM and probably the peak3 type of runs in tagaytay! i thought of slapping a DC fork with it, but i think i'll just slap a Z1 130mm single crown instead to make the bike more versatile on the trails! sayang ang pera e hehehe, bawiin ko na lang sa ibang parts, but i i've yet to go to the drawing board ;D here's a pic of what i have:

ay naku! louie, paayus mo na yang swing arm ng phantom mo! para ang assault natin ay sa tagaytay na hehehe.
ano ka ba? build the end consumer confidence sa mga parts na gusto nila ;D alam mo namang iba ang plano ko dito e heheheh, and i know it's more than enough! palagay ko mauunang masisira ang shoulders ko o di kaya collarbone ko mismo bago masira tong frame na to heheheh. minsan na akong nakakita ng DH'er na etong mongoose talon ang gamit and for 2 years eto gamit nya pambaba ng bundok at walang katinag tinag ;D

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! wapak!!!! Hinay-hinay lang. as we've said, dehins sya kasing ganda ng suspension ng kilalang frames, even if you already change the rear shocks, eh di pa rin yung ganun. yes, it can perform pero dehins pa rin ganun. RIDE SAFE PA RIN NOH!!! hehehehehe.....
