The paint turned out awesome, a real deep red

Can't wait to ride her

 

[Ghetto Bird]

anyone here use the SGF components rear susp. plates?

If so how are they, do you need to upgrade spring?

Any pics of ac's that have them?

 

[vitox]

in case nobody else mentions it, you might want to check that headtubes compatibility with a fork like that.

 

[Echo]

Heh, pray your headtube chooses a relatively minor situation for when it snaps off

 

[Ghetto Bird]

Ya ya I've heard all that constructive critizism already....

Used a Super T last year with no problems.....no cracks on frame or ovalization of head tube.

Rose that bike hard last year and It was great....

Should be fine again this year!!

ahhh, if only I had a nickel for every time I said that......

Good luck with it! Nice paint job.....

it's not the headtube that cracks, it's the chainstays. The big DC fork helps you attain the speeds and stresses that the rest of the bike is not designed for.

BTW, I think that bike needs a 24" rear wheel to be complete.

 

[Ghetto Bird]

Dbr thanx for the paint compliment

24' no way then it would be really slack

I only see one 888

yup.

Way to void that warranty and put way more fork on that bike then is needed.

 

[Curb Hucker]

with the money you spent on the fork and paintjob, you could have gotten a new frame thats made for a dual crown, and can take abuse

All I need to say can be summed up with emoticons:

Me fail english? That's unpossible!

I think a 7" fork on an older AC is usually OK, although I don't know that you'd want to put an 8" 888 on it. But then again, I could be wrong.

My buddy ran a 01 AC with a S7 on it for 4 years and did huge drops with it and had no problems.....

Is there some part about "I've heard it all before" that's unclear enough to cause everyone to keep harping on it?

I think the bike looks sweet, if a little slack for my tastes, but have fun on it.

Just keep inspecting it regularly and wear a helmet!

He got it at the end of 2000 so let me rephrase that. He rode it alsmost 4 seasons..... 1/2 of 00, full of 01, full of 02, full of 03, and a little of 04 so almost 4 full seasons. What a bunch of smart a$$es. He just sold it a few days ago.
