my first real downhill bike i owned was a faith (final form in avitar), i ended up swapping out every part at least once, but decided it was time for a new frame 2 years ago. i bought a clifcat cause they were unique, and i was able to customize everything. i thought i was gonna have my dream build. but two years later (now), all the problem w/ the clifcat were making biking not fun, so i got a new frame:biggrin:. its not done yet, here are some teaser pics. full shots once evrything is installed.

sorry about pic quality, these are from my phone, will post final w/ real picks tho, and yes, that frame is raw, had it bead blasted then spent a couple hours w/ sand paper and steelwool. looks sick now.

10 pts for frame identification off teasers

I don't think it's a chumba.

Not sure, but could it possibly be a Canyon Torque. Judging by your need for uniqueness, it makes sense.

I don't get how it even resembles a chumba. Unless i'm completely mixing up the "Chumba" with another bike. From what I recall, the chumba's didn't have the exo-reinforcement thing, damn the words on the tip of my tongue. Nor do they have a cable housing mount in between the tt and dt on the side of the bike.

Maybe i'm on crack, but that's what I remember.

wow, sorry this took so long, went through some ****, forgot about this thread haha. anyways, been riding this bike for awhile, and im stoked, altho, i think i might be getting a new frame (again). katipo is at the head of the list. I kinda want to turn this frame into an oldschool throwback. shivers, risse remote resi shock (plushest shock ive felt besides an avy, just like 1000000 lbs). anyways, here is my current dh bike. and my play bike for kicks.
