Well, I know it's not a V-10 with a Dorado and an Evil guide, so maybe I wont earn some of you all's approval, but here's my new Azonic Eliminator that's freshly built. Im still waiting on brakes and adaptors in the mail, plus I have a new seatpost on the way too, but I couldnt wait to post up some pics.

This bike was built up entirely of parts I got from the Buy N Sell forum here, for less than $1,500...and I think its pretty cool.

The frame is pretty beefy. Ive heard a couple complaints about how this thing is built, but it looks massive and nicely welded to me.

There are a ton of adjustments on this thing too. I think I may lower the BB a bit, but Ill wait til i ride it at least before attempting to make the Boxxer and the Rear end work.

...yeah, patience is everything. Both the frame and the fork are brand new. I just had to wait until the right deals came along to get it done right. If people have patience with stuff, bikes can be cheap (relatively) In all, it took a couple months to get it done.

quick note you might wanna watch out for those horizontal drop outs

afew guys have had problems with the wheel moving in them on this frame
might wanna consider using changing the QR for a bolt up set up

That problem was adressed in the manufacturing of the later-model frames. There's no way for the wheel to slip now, because the dropout is machined in 2-3mm where the QR or Bolt-on clamps down.
Basically the horizontals are worthless, but, they're not really a negative anymore.

That is a sweet ride indeed. All that for $1500, you cheap bastard! I wish I could pull that off :D

Looks like a very good setup, enjoy.

Nope, although IMO there isn't a huge diff between a non-fsr and an FSR bike, biggest diff is in braking.

Not an FSR. The main difference is the braking as Jm said. The only thing I've heard is that some of thge "adjustments" are useless. But that's just what i hear. Nice bike and you can't beat the price:thumb:
