I thought about it, but the current graphics are anodized into the frame, so I'd have to get an EXACT match size wise for it to work out. In addition, my previous anodized bike wouldn't hold decals for long before they fell off. :-( I'm thinking a purple seatcollar and end caps will be the final touches.

My 2008 V10 showed up last week, and I finally got it built up. I'm very impressed to see that they replaced the dropout system for the new (lessexpensive to replace) set up. I really didn't factor in weight when building the bike. I had some Ti hardware laying around from a previous sponsorship, but aside from that I went with components I felt confident in, opposed to the lightest, which is a bit backwards from usual for me. That being said, it sits at 39.17lbs with DH tubes, which I'm pretty damn stoked withI'm still messing with my drivetrain, so the chain isn't fully cut. I may take alittle bit more off my front brake line. The seat is defenitly getting swapped for a devo. However, you guys get the idea
