So far I like it. There are a few things I need to change, like the tires, but it's only a week old.

Back in black.
Some new black MSHBKS sealed pedals, replacement ODI grip rubbers -black

Oh a black seatpost......and I re-painted the flat black on the frame - all scratched.
Black is the new Red.

Light, less than many single crowns, especially marzocchi's, and nearly half what the single crown it replaced weighed. It was made from magnesium (legs) and hard chromed 7050 aluminum staunchions. Never bottomed out on me and gave a sweet ride. Bang for the bucks!
Dual crown because I am largish and it gave me a little extra confidence to know that if a crown did start to tear or deform then I'd get more warning than with a single crown. Also because it was the replacement for a real dud model and these were overbuilt to compensate.

Second post to this thread, with some updates to my bike. I've ridden enough to figure out more about what I want/like, so... voila, the updated Stumpy:
Changes since last time:
Changes since last time:
- Panaracer Smoke/Dart combo to replace the default tires - tired of the crappy grip and flats; moved to slightly bigger tires (2.0 -> 2.1)
- Eggbeater SL pedals to replace the Shimano SPDs - much easier to get locked in
- Moved the pump, saddle bag and water bottle into a camelback - bike rattles less; easier to get a drink while riding
- Took off the lights - not doing any night riding for now
- Lost the bar ends, replaced with Ergon grips - fixes my hand numbness problems; removed the risk of bar ends catching on trees
- Took off the Fox fork graphics and other stickers - I like a clean look, don't you?
