John is a good guy and has good ethics behind him. You won't be disappointed with the bike.

John is a nice guy. He has given me a lot of phone time while I was researching different bikes.

I plan on buying a Medina Linkage bike as well as the LXR that I just bought.

One thing that I must mention though. Their big selling point is the cost. They claim to have basically the same bike as PitsterPro with certain improvements at a much cheaper price. To be honest with you, I got a deal on my PitsterPro LXR and only paid about $150 more than the Medina. The cost savings wasn't enough for me to justify having to put everything together. I am, however, going to still buy a Medina just to try it out and have some variety around. It does look like a nicely built bike.

I hope to be able to post a nice write up about my experience with them as well.

I look forward to reading your experiences on here as well.

Take care and ride hard!

I won't quote any specifics but I set my friends shop up with the deal and he is a good friend. Need I say any more???

PS: We are talking the delivered price as well. Like I said, it wasn't much more. Also, my friend's shop hooked me up with locktite'ing everything for me as well.

I am serious about buying a Medina too. When I do, I probably will have my friends shop order it too.

I talked with John and knew that you were becoming a dealer and will probably come out and talk to you prior to ordering one as well.

There is a post about the Medina that someone just put together...It looked really good! He did a great job and was saying how sturdy the frame was. Check it out its on this forum somewhere.

Re: Got to meet John from MEDINA MINIS and..

John & Bob are dedicated to the 12" mini market, I have seen the best products and service come from Medinaminis over and over.

By the way, the klx "rml" roller makes an excellent dual purpose mini. I have one setup for motard with only minor adjustments and heavier oil in the forks and it handles great along with the 192yx it is a favorite in my collection. With just a swap of the wheels and a suspension adjustment, it goes right back into the dirt where it also handles excellent.

Re: Got to meet John from MEDINA MINIS and..

It is great to hear all of this stuff about medina. I am meeting john on weds as I live like 10 mins away from him. I will be buying a bike from them in like a week or so. I just talked to him on the phone this morning to set up a time. I can't wait now.
