One more of the front end!
Did I mention I really really really like this new set-up?

Although I didn't see the bike before the upgrades I have to say it does look quite nice with them. Enjoy your new components!
P.S.
buy something nice for your wife so she doesn't get jealous!

BTW, the fork still has a lot of stiction in it. Still have to break it in! The wheels feel great. A lot lighter feeling than my DH wheels (Mavic D321's). I immediately felt the difference in rotational mass.
I've only ridden around the neighborhood with the bike, launching off curbs and drive aprons, but the 5" of travel feels nice (not smooth yet!).
I'm planning on doing some break-in riding this weekend, I'll try to remember to bring the camera and take some photos!

Lookin sweet man! Cant wait to hear what you think of the marz after it's broken in! Can you tell how much stiffer it is compared to the other standard QR setup?
Now we just have to get maelstrom to help us get up north so we can all ride and put that bike to the true riding test!
