did a couple of runs on the evil @ bromont yesterday.

sweet! but damn am i out of shape. my legs were like jello (this was day 2 of our first DHing of the season).

the bike was a blast though, even though i soon retired it for my couch (giant DH).

one thing for evil owners - if you are gonna run a big tire on the rear (i had a 2.7" mobster), you probably wanna run it in the longest wheelbase position. i didn't feel like changing my housing/cable (too short) so i left it in the middle. it cleared the frame fine but buzzed on the chainguide plate every once in a while under hard pedaling or cornering.

it peels right off. you may need a little solvent to get of a bit of sticky ****, but for the most part it comes right off.

here it is.

Stuck in the 80s
I think i might keep my RM7 coz the new ones are 5 lbs heavier than the 2001s, so I might hang on to it, being a lighter weight 7" frame and all...

I do have some other ones that need to go, like that Azonic DS1... Your friend doesn't want it? I am asking 150 shippd so i would (-) the shipping for him....
