'97 Litespeed Obed frame
'01 Z2 Atom race
'01 Crossmax UST ceramic with michelin comp S
XT v-brakes, cranks, derailleurs
King headset
Thomson stem and post
Selle italia Flite saddle
Bontrager magnesium bar ends
Easton Carbon flat bars
Yeti speed grips
Time Atak alium pedals

The wheels are just about worn out now, I'm thinking going with a set of King/Mavics with a mechanical disk on the front and keep the v-brakes on the back (the frame is pre disk tabs)

I bought it as a frameset and built it up in '96, and I'm fairly sure it's a '95. I really don't know what parts it came with besides Deore XT parts for the drivetrain. It does pretty well offroad, there's just not a lot of trails around here. But it works wonderfully for quick around-town jaunts (and riding wheelies ).

^Sexy. That bike looks like it's a blast to ride. Verging on 32 lbs isn't very shabby either. :cool:

That is a very interesting picture Pete. How did you get the stars to show with a bright ground as well?

that plant is insane. have you ever dared eating some for recreational purposes? sounds trippy. sometimes i do circuts on hill till i start to see things. my friend tried to dose me by pranking my beer, but i was wise to him and wouldn't drink it. i'm no hullicinogenic warrior! or even a daytripper for that matter...

The rear shock improved dramatically. Everything is just better. The stock Fox Septune had some weaknesses that Push fixed just right. The fork didn't improve as dramatically but i think rebound got a little bit better and square-edge impacts at high speed get absorbed faster and smoother than before.

I have a totally white garage so bouncing an external flash from the ceiling lits the whole garage very nicely.
