It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

This is a terrible idea. This bike is far, far too light to be stable at that speed on all terrain without people with serious skills.

You need something with a bigger suspension, and more weight to handle the changes in terrain at those speeds without kicking you off the bike.

Presumably it'd be loaded down with gear, but it still seems sketchy as hell to ride anywhere near 80mph
