Nice ride! Sure hope you hold on to this bike for awhile instead of selling it like the other ones.:thumb:

...very nice Sean!!!! What's with the rear hub & the bolts? Haven't seen that one yet. I thought they were QR or TA...never seen the "fun bolts" approach on a Hadley.

PS..I touched your frame before you did :blah:

Ti Bolt Kit, semi new thing from Hadley. (comes with pretty slick 10mm or 12mm via washers)

Yeah the Der. protetctor and hadley ti bolt kit didn't seem to get along too well, doesn't seem like much of the area I actually hit a der. in anyway so I didn't use it.

It has mud now, I'll know more later,but so far I'm very impressed with it, it feels very neutral, instantly comfortable. Feels great on fast stutter hits, begs to be pumped in and out of corners and any dip in the trail. Very flickable but still stable at speed. I'll try and get some ride shots soon.

Solo ride today, here are some cell phone shots, it was really nice today especially for jan. (cell phone shots from today) edit: I think I need to take a link out of my chain

Nice build - and it looks pimp too. I've always wanted to get one of those, and if I ever did - I would have built it in almost the exact same way.

Nice bike. :drool:

...weird! Some guy named Andrew who had his Cannondale Chase stolen is having a Sovereign built up. Thought it might be you.:)

You know, I have never heard anyone refer to their Heckler as, "my stupid heckler".


Now, about that SX Trail, that is one sweet looking bike. A little heavier than I thought they would be though. Since you have that bike Sooooooooo Gucci'ed out, you might as well get an RCS Ti Spring. That should save you a half a pound at least.

spoiled kids these days sheesh, can't even respect the heckler, I thought about a ti spring.....

It wasn't a real accurate way of weighing it....

Well when your heckler has been hanging on the rack since norba snowshoe in august without a fork you'd be calling it that too.

Nice build man. That shifter is amazing, I love mine.
the x.o. shifting is rediculously nice, much nicer then I anticipated.

I think you might like the dh rig I'm planning out.

edit: weighed it on a better scale, 36lbs (that's with the ea70 bar now)
