The F7 links are made from 7075 T6, include upper and lower links, lower screw-in pivot hardware, new MAX-E extended inner race bearings that IH developed with Enduro (no more bearing spacers on the bike), and 10-MIL 10mm shock hardware. They retrofit to all year Sundays, and I am pretty sure that IH will have an upgrade kit for sale, but you need to check with Tom B at IH on that, I am not really sure.
How is that not a real pic?

please, don t ever forget cratoni... they have taken DH to a whole new level...
Those catalog shots get taken about a day before the bikes are packed and off to eurobike usually, so that is pretty much a finished product.
i know they're pretty much finished in the pics but if you take a look at the 07 sunday world cup in the eurobike pic and the catalog pic theres a major difference.
I must be out of the loop for the evolution of language because Comming mystifies me...Comming Iron Horse.. Show the Factory fames..
What? The only difference is the fork color. Which one is correct?
That is so HOT!In the first post of this topic you had it. Man come on, did you even read the thread?!
Woah sh*t that came out all wrong..
:biggrin: 
See pinkbike.com for specs & geom preview.
Yes, w/ an 83mm BB.
Thanks. Not cookie cutter by any means.
Any linkage issues were in reference to 1st production 05's and have been fully rectified.
5yr on frame. (edit: 5yrs XC/trail/all mtn; 1yr DH/freeride.) Lifetime warrantys are bogus and just add to the JRA/never do maintenance mentality. Additionally, to me offering a longer warranty on a frame than the product can realistically used for is somewhat deceiving. A bicycle frame has a finite lifespan (with typical use) and the end user needs to know this. It's not a no-warranty FRO but it's also realistic to real world riding.
if people actually used "warranty" the way its written, ie defects in manufacturing will be repaired/correct/replaced, the length of warranties could extend immensely, or even indefinitely. unfortunately, people seem to think that warranty = "ooops, I hucked my XC bike off that 4' drop to flat and it broke, so I'll just call up the manufacturer and get it warrantied." hell, we've gotten calls for warranties on TUBES b/c the customer got a flat 2 months after purchasing the bike...
There should be an asshole tax for that kind of thing.
a few people on my team for next year were contemplating doing this. I was too...until i remembered I can't let my bike get clapped this year so all that extra money is staying untili break something else.
