hey ktown.freeride,
did you say you had a white boxxer team for sale?
what condition and how much?
oh by the way my ride is a JAVA colored m3
05 dorado(getting replaced probably by an 07 team unless i can find a good white 06)
w/ direct mount crown and upgrade travis integrated stem in it.
(That fork is for sale for 450- MINT condition)
hope m4 brakes 203 front, 160 rear. And for all you small rear brake haters, you dont need a big rear brake because you shouldn't use that much rear brake anyway!!
mavic 729's laced up by Downhill Zone- is a wheel buliding extrodenaire. Those wheels have stayed INCREDIBLY true.
E13 SRS
Chris King headset
Truvativ Holzfellers with howitzer BB
and more....
sorry I dont have pics of it on the ground.

some beauties in this thread!!
here is my do-it-all bike...im quite pleased...
it's the little things that put it over the top
I love my 6.6
thats one of the hottest 6.6's ive seen. i wish they made that cassette in like a 23-11. lovin the colors
My '04 ASX in its late '06 trim:
Whats that RST feel like? How much travel does it have and what is the weight? I actually wasn't aware that RST was making DH forks anymore.
Was not as buttery out of the box as either of my Sigmas were. Hopefully it's just because it has low hours on it still and is not broken in fully yet. Torsionally very stiff - - those are 36mm stanchions. Travel is 180mm; weight is 6.16 lbs.
RST makes the 7" R1 and the 8" inverted Sigma DH forks; mostly spec'd on bikes in Europe.

What do they run you ($$$)? For that travel to weight ratio, they seem pretty sick. Have you had any problems with them? Most RST forks I have seen (mainly on low-end bikes) have had some problems. How do the high end ones stack up against the usuall suspects (Boxxers, 888)
6.16?!?!?! holy crap, i know a guy that works for rst, i might be way more interested
Just picked her up today! She's my new toy...

damn, sick ****. that rotec is money.
Sorry didn't answer this sooner. I have no $$ references, as I'm on a sponsorship directly from RST. I had troubles with last year's R1 predecessor - - the Rapide Hill. Bushing failure that locked the fork solid. Sent back to R&D for evaluation and got the R1 as a replacement. Sigmas have weak seals, but is not fatal, as you do not lose oil.
Internals on RST DH forks are not spohisticated, but they are effective for me. Sealed and o-ringed cartridge rebound damper in the right leg; springs in left leg. Grease lubrication. No high-speed compression damping or other niceties, but little to go wrong too.
BTW, nice RL9, GrapeApe!
Love the fork on that one april.
nice colors, are you running the howitzer bb?
Yes I am.
o ok, i couldnt see the bearings, so i was like, holzfellers, no howitzer? this cant be good....
when she was a virgin
You bought it at the DHZ... thought I saw this bike in the shop this week... or did I see it at PA last weekend?
They rule. It doesn't adversely affect your slow speed manueverability and it keeps the bike straight on the fast, rough stuff. I luv mine.
Edit: Here's the full stable (of mine):
You are truly disgusting . . . and I mean that in a nice waySecret Squirrel said:
Laf. Yeah, I can thank the jerk-off that 'liberated' my garage in Feb '06 for those bad boys. (And by thank, I mean beat the sh*t out of. They got my '02 Rotec Moto-link. I luvd that bike.)
Lowest of low! That is the bike that sparked my lust for Rotecs.Secret Squirrel said:
Just finished not two hours ago, this fine ride is an amalgam of new parts and bits from the Yakuza Kumicho (frameset now on sale at Tim's in Everett for $450).
sick torial!
For the first time for as long as I remember, I have no new bike lust.
I ride the orange bike the most.

It's going to get all nasty down to Blackrock this weekend, you can bet on that!
rode one of those the other day....they are so awesome. wonder how they would do for 4x. then again, there isn't any 4x around.
that double is easily one of the sickest Transition's I've ever seen. Have you had a chance to ride it yet? how is it?
