Great looking bike mate. Like your spec and colour.
Should be real plush/supple with such a rising rate on the shock.Not sure if it will thrash the shock shaft bushings out quick but I'm sure they know what they're doing,I'd just recomend that you maintain your shock mounting bushes well and check they're running freely to give the shock seal an shaft bush less load.

The mainframe is cromo... the rear is aluminum. With my 888 the head angle should be about 65.5, the BB is 15" with a 17" rear stay. I'm guessing it should end up in the upper 40's for weight. My old Scream was 48 with a similar build. I should receive the last few parts this week and be able to finish it up.

I can't wait to start riding this beast as soon as things start to dry out here in VT.

Lou..

How've you been??? Winter?? and most importantly... any progress on the new ride??? I can't wait to get out and ride together again!!! Platty baby!!! Another friend of mine approached me a week ago about developing a new park on his 60 acres.. the cool thing is he has all the tools and machines to produce his own lumber for stunts. Looks like we may have another place in addition to Stompy's to ride this summer...

Cool! My F1 is waiting for me at a Buddy in Seattle!

Just a question:
Your downtube seem curved below the shock, is your frame the "real deal" for 2006?
From the pics I've seen so far, the downtube looks straight.

So how does the '06 ride? Due to ordering issues, and now a broken elbow I won't be able to ride it untill end of july! Dang! But I already have parts on the way. Anyone have the ability to compare to the 2005? I had one last year and loved it. I hear it's a little more progressive in the suspension travel, but it's pretty dope. Any second opinions?
