What a great looking frame and cool decals. The placement of the remote kind of spoils the picture a little bit but its cool from a functional point of view so its easy for you to adjust the settings on the DHX.

Sweet!!! Any changes from the 04's to the 05's besides the shock?
As DiscoStu said the specs say slacker HT, but Turner had said once that is assuming using an 8" fork. As far as i know there werent any geometry changes made to the actual frame. I do know that the main pivot area was beefed up with the removal of a welded reinforcment, in favor of fully machined pivot area. I can maybe take a 04 vs 05 photo using my a friends frame im helping him rebuild.

Sweeeeett... Interesting how the remote is set up. Any potential issues with the hose rubbing the frame? It looks like it would be a good idea to put some protective tape where the hose contacts, especially since the steal hoses can wreak havoc on metal.

Thanks for the pics.

Housing is coated in a thick tube of soft plastic sheeting and it can't move. There is NO slack in the hose.

Once a bashguard is on the bike you couldn't hit it with your heel or toe. It runs below and well out from the bulge of the side plate.

The frame appears to be "lighter" for '05 - maybe that's just in the shock swap?

I actually had a whole sequence of them...but it was too time consuming. Thanks for the compliments. Greg sent us an email telling us they had a hard time letting them ship.... :sneaky:

After he said that, my anticipation went through the frickin' roof.

So is the bike built yet?? My frame is due wednesday and will be built 2 hours after the wife and kid go to bed.... :)
Mine isn't. Its killing me seeing it sit their in a stand with no parts on it but a seatpost. :(
I should be ordering almost everything for it today. White looks even more beautiful with a fresh coat of mud. Like Anglina Jolie and chocolate syrup. :cool:
