26in of love

Nice guess. I was gonna say one of those old Kona OTB frames. Clump or something.
You, sir, are correct! 2001 Kona Scab. Kinda flexy at the park, but the terrible rear wheel and the 3 pound fork from 2001 flex more so it's all good.
if it's 26inches of love yur talking about ... i still love this bike

That blue frame is nice! You have a spec list?? I haven't got around to weighing it yet... Over the past couple of weeks I have been wanting to. I guess I will have to make a trip to the lbs today. Just have to remember not to buy anything else...
21.5" frame
Argyle
Spank bar
Blk mrkt stem
Saint brake
Evolve DH cranks
NC-17 mag pedals
Oddysey seat
Atomlab pimplite wheels
Tioga FS100 tyres
Yeh not sure how much mine weighs either, yours looks like it would be very light though. I have a mates who's tweet tweet is around 11kgs
Primo cranks

weighed it 3 times (25.1 -25.2-25.1) and that's with a bb5 and a halflink chain added after I posted the original pic. Just .2 lbs. more than my xc bike. Smaller tires and lighter wheels would lighten it up even more but I'm not trying to become a weight weenie...Not to mention that Minute is pretty light too.
Nice bike and jumps.

Here it is completed...finally
Sweet!Nice bike and jumps.
...been tossing around the idea of getting a rigid fork. How is a rigid on a 26 compared to a 20? Is it a little less harsh at all, having the bigger wheels? My wrists are almost shot from the skating days and I don't ride my 20 much because of them. What are you're thoughts on riding a rigid 26??
I like it. It forces you to (try to) be a little smoother. It is less forgiving, for sure. A little less harsh than a 20", but not much. See if you can borrow one from somebody to try it out first. Most of them will lower your bottom bracket and steepen up your front end a little. (Usually a good thing, in my opinion)
It's almost impossible to get photos that reflect the true brightness of the frame, but here we go anyways....
Looks good! Drop the fork some and you will be golden.
Nice to see a finished pic of your Tweet.
Mine...the only Tweet with gears.

that makes 2 of us brotha! can't get over the color of that moist dirt
no dirt wasted at all.
Here are some more pictures I took that day.... http://huckit.net/trails/
heres my beast. i'll post a pic again soontimes when (hopefully) i get my answer pro tapers tomorrow.
actually looks alot better now. rear s-type, an actual ss kit. and a slimmer seat, along with smaller gearing.
and in the distant future, a black betty. along with some redline device cranks.
i also have a problem i need help with. since i have vertical dropouts, i dropped the tensioner. but my problem is that the current number of links i have now is so tight, i cant kick my cranks back so they spin freely, but when i add a single half link to the chain (kmc bmx chain), its so loose than when i torque the pedals a bit up a hill, it skips when my right pedal is forward. would it be alright if i filled the dropouts towards the seat/seat stays?
and yes, the next pic i have will not be filled with all that stuff my dad keeps in our garage.

what size stems on the bike?
Here is my updated MOB pic. Sweet bike that could really use someone special to show her a good time (nod nod wink wink, ahem, PM me).
Mine and my son's dirt jumpers. Banshee Amp (mine) Eastern Nighttrain (his)
You can always try changing your front sprocket by a tooth or 2 and see if that will improve your chain length.
I have filed dropouts before, just make sure there's enough material there that you won't risk structural integrity.
yeah they got filed, bu the non-drive side needs a bit more filing to get it dead center. although the stp will probs go for sale, i'm getting either a jackal, amp, or ducat.
Thats my old Mob, the stem is a 50mm Thomson X4, I think its actually a DH/DJ specific dealio, but I'm not sure. I've got one on my Tonic and the thing is pretty rad.
Here is my new DJ, just got it built and took it out on its maiden voyage Tuesday, rides so nice.
