that a mere 'bike' does not?

long travel
big tyres
dinner plate brake rotors
wide bars/short stem
chain device
?

or is it all about the attitude of the rider?

GNAR!

Ability to drill for oil?

Depends what you're 'running' on it?

it can come in red, green, blue or big.

Theyre usually sick to the power of rad. Pretty easy to tell apart from lesser bikes.

18 wheels and a chromed exhaust stack

it has to be steed + (Gnar x 2)

A Rig needs to be able to Rock Up to Trail.

Not *a* trail, just *Trail*.

A Rig will be ridden by someone Stoked to be out riding.

To the max I expect.

The ability to annoy the Argentinians.

Eh?

A Rig is/was made by Gary Fisher

29" wheels
80mm? Fork
SS gearing (though will accept hub gears)

one of these:

a large structure used to house workers and machinery needed to drill wells in the ocean bed, extract oil and/or natural gas, process the produced fluids, and ship or pipe them to shore.

29" wheels
80mm RS Reba Fork
SS gearing (though will accept hub gears, eg 14spd Rohloff and 8spd Alfine)

I sold mine 😥

Not just gnar. That's no good. BOOM KNARLY'ness is essential.

"long travel

So a DH (specific/focussed) bike then?

it can come in red, green, blue or big.

Very good. Subtle too. 🙂

I (genuinly) don't know.

It's just a term I've seen a bit on here recently and I wondered what it meant to everyone.

My view was that's it's probably a heavier, gravity focused type of thing but a Blue Pig might fit that description with a certain build and not with others and is a hardtail.

In the end I wonder if it's just like 'steed' or whatever – a way of describing your bike that makes it sound more exciting than a Raleigh shopper?

How would a homeslice undertake portage of said rig to Trail?

Oh yes, Off The Chain has nothing to do with actual chains, more to do with Hooks, but Hooking Up is different to that, and that has nothing to do with tyre grip.

Fo example, a Bro could Hook You Up with a Rig, with that Rig you could Rock Up to Trail and Send It Off The Chain.

Loving the pic Pook

Scruff you're so down with it.

You're my new hero.

Where does sled fit into all this?

A bike you would just lean up against a wall.
A rig needs brass door handles.

It rhymes with "big".

Only ridden by people called 'Dude'…………apparently

sweet

whats yours say?

Fo example, a Bro could Hook You Up with a Rig, with that Rig you could Rock Up to Trail and Send It Off The Chain.

If something is good then it's off the chain e.g. 'That Yumeya chain is off the chain!', so technically 'send it off the chain' doesn't work.

What concerns me is that if you 'shred the rad' then your 'ride' could be 'off the hook' but then is your 'ride' your 'rig', or was it the ride you just 'sent it' on (or off)?
