2002 Protege 5
2002 rocky mountain pipeline. 7" of travel in the front, 6" in the rear. its a big old bike. havent had a chance to put it through its paces yet cause it serously needs tires but it looks like it could soak up anything you throw at it. now for the pic

HOLY TONS OF FRONT SUSPENSION BATMAN !!(omg) Nice bike, I have a Klein full suspender hangin in my garage.
 
Great googly-mooogly, that's a downhillin' machine, fo sho! I'm only pushin' 4" susp. F/R on my dual and it's always felt pretty damn plush!

Where the hell are you going to ride that around here?
 
i actually bought it to sell but now i kinda like it so i may keep it. who knows. havent riden it on the trail much since the rear tire is showing cords but soon im going to slap another tire on the back and take it out and see if i can hurt myself! lol should be fun. (look out for crash pictures in the near future)
 
I used to have a rocky mountain RM6. One above the Pipeline. Sweet bikes. I love Rockies
 
My friend in CO just bought a Rocky Mountain. The suspension system has something built into it that when you're cranking away on the pedals, it doesn't bob up and down. It's nearly as hard as my hard tail. I rode it a little bit up at Winter Park and it felt like I was riding a beach ball down the trail. It was crazy. Plus those brakes had a hair trigger on them. Awesome bike!
 
The Fox Terra Logic forks are like that. 5 inch single crown fork that feels rock-solid, ZERO movement as you crank away on pavement/smooth trail, and then instant suspension when you hit something and 5 inches of plush, smooth travel. I wish I could afford one!
 
im biking 2 but no more since i have my p5 ... money goes on p5 ensted of bike lol , here my oryx desert dueller dirt jump/urban assault bike
