No kidding, I'd be embarassed to post a pic if my tires looked like that! :p
I did cut the sidewall of one of my tires and am thinking of trying something new so for a short while at least one tire will look new. |

Wow, I've missed so much.
You still have your DMR Mr. Smashy? |
Smashy, thats bike porn.

Still have the frame, put the parts onto the fisher for back reasons.

I dont think that is a MTB. Kind of girly too.

Those are some wild rotors.
|
Nice.
|
hmmm
what kinda rotors are those??
I want some. |
Hope gothics, I think. BTW, thats a lotta xtr for a bike w/ a tora on it, IMO.
|
Rotors are Alligator Serration rotors... Ultra light!!! Awesome rotors...
The reason for the Tora is that I wanted an adjustable travel (130-90mm) fork with compression, rebound, and lockout. All the other forks that offered these features were extremely expensive and unreliable... I'm happy with the Tora U-turn, its a little on the heavy side, but way lighter than my original Judy TT (piece of crap) fork... This is my first build... I'll upgrade the fork at a later date when I get a new frame... |

I just couldn't justify spending over $400-$600 on a fork... |

Both... Some were really expensive...and others were expensive and unreliable...or should I say, high maintenance (parts failing and having to be rebuilt or sent in for service)...

How much did you spend on the XTR Drivetrain?
Whats wrong with the Tora UTurn...other than its a little on the heavy side? Its got great reviews... |

Don't recall... I all bought it off eBay... Definitely less than $700.

I am of the mind to start with a great frame and fork, a solid wheelset, and then build on from there. You seemed to have focused mainly on the drivetrain, stem and brakes. It is interesting is all. |
