nice. nice. nice.
Dude that bike looks awesome! Pretty much the same build as mine except for you have Shimano and I have SRAM 
It should get in next week, I'm running an old Hayes in the meantime. My LBS could not shorten the front hose cause they didn't have DOT 4 oil in stock.Originally posted by Brian HCM#1

congrats and welcome to the club!!
Very nice indeed.
Sweet rig!!!
I'm curious (this goes for all you Talas/Blur users), what made you decide to go with the Talas?

Congratulations, Jozz! It only took, what, 19 months for the frame to come in?
Very nice indeed. Where does the line start for Monkeyfest test rides?

Black is beautiful Jozz. Congrats on getting it all built and ready to be riddin hard.
For me I'm a big Fox fan, rode a RL100 all last year and loved it!
Wnet for the Talas just for the heck of it basically, was only a few buck mores. I might end up riding it always at 100mm, but for those long downhill going to 130mm should be fun, at worst as Deyv suggested it I might transfer it to my Chameleon.
All this talk about Santa Cruz not allowing a 130mm fork on the Blur and yet they shipped me the frame and fork no questions asked...
Sweet ride! Good things come to those who wait?? You certainly had to wait so....jdcamb
Nice rig! Squirrel (my husband) just test rode one on Friday night too! Seems like everyone is getting blurred

That thing looks fast hanging on your stand! Nice!
Schaaaawiiiing!
If possible use dot 5.1 fluid.
Yeah but you got the Hopes
right on. Black like Darth Vader's nut sack.
Say it loud "I'm black & I'm proud!".
That is pretty sweet man. Ride that sucka!

I'm not getting blurred, but then I ride a hardtail.
Nice bike.
Nice bike.
Splooge-a-riffic!
bumping t-p off the front page......
Not sure how I missed this one - NICE! Welcome to the the club. That ano black looks bad ass.
Did the maiden voyage wednesday night, and all I can say is :love: :dancing:
That is the best bike I ever ridden, good in all condition, going up almost like a hartail and going down is plush as my girlfriend's bottom!! I love the feel of the 5th, riding along on hardpack with the rear end feeling stiff and feeling no energy loss on all pedal stroke, hit a rooty rocky section and the 5th opens up on the rest of the travel... sweet!
Only problem, cockpit is too small, I'm too forward on the bike with the Thomson zero offset post. I just ordered an Easton EC70 with 40mm setback, plus 10mm on the stem from 90 to 100 and it will be perfect!!
Hopes are wonderfull, although almost bit the dust on the first descent... forgot about breakin period... had to hit back brake full power to make the turn!
This week-end will be the real test!

How was the Talas with the Blur? What did you have the travel set to?
Ran it half ride at 100mm other half at 110mm, didn't much difference cause the trail only have short climbs. Did one sketchy descent set at full travel, felt good! I need to adjust stem height since the LBS put all the spacers (1 inch) below the stem, its a bit hight even at 100m.
I have to admit that I might look into making a trade for a Minute 3.00 SPV if I get the chance...
