Looks flexy. Didn't they offer the powdercoating in rootbeer?



Seriously, though, very sano. Diggin' the green especially.

She's a beauty, but if I'm not seeing things, that wireless sensor on your fork just destroyed your hipster cred.

(I honestly think it looks painful and exhausting but it does have a definite Spartan panache to it.)

Don't be so stingy with the Phil's. You can always buy more.

Love the green rims, but I am biased.

Is that the M660 or M665 crank? I was going to order one today.

I was running my SLX like that, worked well. Used a chainguide though.

Did you win those green rims on a contest on here a while back? I vaguely remember something from my early days on here.

glynis:
it's a m660...i sold the 3 chainrings the other day....also sold my stock truvativ fire x cranks, so the slx ones ended up costing me very little!!
mz:
it's a non-ramped ss 32t ring, so i'm having no problems with chain drop.
and no, i didn't win them. i built them.

Ah, okay, I was running a 1 x 9 as well, not SS.

Does anyone remember said contest? I feel like it happened but I'm not positive. Yours look really great.
