I always love looking at this bike. I think the crankarms they put on it were like 215mm long.

The frame is a 17", I am probably going to get an 18 soon enough or perhaps a 19. I don't know whether to get a full suspension or a hardtail. I'm tied between the Voodoo sobo or whatever it's called and the Dragon team.

Just got my 2008 Redline D460 29er. As you can see I haven't had a chance to do anything to it. The stock platforms are still on it. My new Egg Beaters haven't come yet. Still some other adjustments to be made too. I cut the bars down 2" but I think they may still be a little longer than I like. Still getting used to a rigid bike with 29's. Both firsts for me.

Thats not that horrible an idea.... Its not like it would affect the way the fork functions, the wire would just move when the fork was compressed a lot.

What can happen to that loose wrap of wire on tight trails? (it's more prone to snag compared to someone's wire that is zip tied to the arch/fork leg).

Why have a wire covered in crud rubbing your stanchions when it can be zip tied to the arch/fork leg? What's the advantage?

y'know, those wipers are simply amazing.

Hmm... I'd go the new fram route, though it looks like you dropped a good bit of change on that one. There's a lot to be said for a frame that, you know, fits. Is the post out past its minimum insertion? I don't think Thomson makes posts longer than like 400mm or something.

Edit: Looking at again maybe it's just racey. But that still looks like a whole lot of post.

It's just like a 2005 888. It has the Go-Ride Crowns w/ integrated o/s stem. :), had drop crowns from Marz. :( Pro Taper OS bars, Black Diamond's stock shock(Manitou I think), Sun MTX/Marz Fr wheel, Sun Ryno Lite/Deore Rr wheel, Sram X9, Avid 205mm BB7s, thats about it. Just some stuff I threw together. It is fun, and soaks everything I can throw at it up.

You said "Mongoose", and "awesome in the same sentence. LOL! All kidding aside thanks, believe it or not this bike morphed from a Mongoose XC bike into this. There are no stock parts now.

Hey Pete, thanks for pointing that out I'll be sure to fix it.
