Very impressed with the geometry and neutral feel of this bike. I have long been sketchy about chaingrowth and brake jack on single pivot styled bikes. It was between the Bottlerocket and an SX Trail. I wanted to stay within the family, and have a little sister to my 08 Demo 8, but this frame just kinda did it for me in baby blue. Rides like a mini version of my Demo, will be at home on anything but big chunk, and pedals well. I know everyone says that their new bike pedals well, but it smokes my Demo on flat sections.

First two pics are with my DJ Rims( transition revolution 32's and holy rollers) on it, just because they are white!!! Had too throw em on for a glamor shot.
The chainguide I had to make up for the time being, a Gamut p20 and 34 tooth chainring goes up front soon.

TheInedibleHulk: Sorry if I copied, I thought it looked good. I guess we have similar taste.
Thanks for the compliments all, I am a bit proud of my bikes. They get the job done.
The Demo is still my favorite, it just lays it down.

I'll grab up some more pics later.

Did a little DJ sesh on the Bottlerocket today and it still impresses me. Now I'm thinking I only need these two bikes in my shed to have a rounded fleet. Anybody want a Duncan Pussy with Marzocchi DJ2????
