My garage door is boring. (56K beware)
Oh well.
Fist off, big thanks to Randy Spangler and also to Dustin from Fox :D Finished up the build yesterday, no shots of it nice and clean though. Went to the local DH runs today, rain. mud. wet. it was awesome though. I'm thinking the it's gonna be well worth the money spent on it. The stem is only temporary, got an Easton Havoc on order. Only thing I'm thinking of switching out is the pedals (might try some Times) and possibly the cranks, maybe to some XT's or some Gravitys.

:eek:Wow:eek:!!! Your bike came together amazingly!
|
awesome frame color and pedals!
i don't think you should ride it. just put it up for display in home. that's what i do :D edit: wait, i have to give the token negative comment...ummmm, not diggin' th CK HS. should of gone with a Hope gunsmoke: http://www.hopegb.com/photos/HSXG.jpg |
Ooooohhhhhhhhh....aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh, that is nice!
|
Is that the foldable Weirwolf in the front? Easily the worst tire i've ridden.
Other then that it looks ace :). |
i'm diggin the touches of red...(headset, saddle, hubs, seatpost binder, rim decals)
I dunno about the Weirwolf either...tried one once, but I GREATLY prefer Conti Diesels (might just be that I love looking down on a big fat hunk of rubber) great build though! |
does it go fast? cause the tubing looks like it would be fast.
let me know when the bidding starts on ebay for this bike. |

Ya, they're definatley not confidence inspiring tires, Wal*Mart ones work better.
The back climbs like a cripple without arms and legs and the front one preforms like a blind man trying to race. |
That thing is beautiful.
|
I must admit, the best tires I've ever felt/had are the ones you got me matt. I love those maxxis tires. I can go into a corner really fast without skidding.
Love the bike dude. Lookin' good. :) So when we gunna ride? |

But I have had such bad luck with WTB components I wont even consider them anymore, forget about running them. |
Fantastic bike with top notch components!
I was debating red hubs as well, but I don't think I'll do it. They look great on your bike. |
Next time i see that bike, i want it to be on a hill, or in the air.
Nice bike :) |
I love the red highlights on the bike. It's still WAY too clean though. Great machine!!!!
