Yea thanks!! I have already swaped the road cassette for a Mtb. and I am happy with the rest for now.. I am going to go tubeless soon and then will hopefully bring it to sub-40 but I love the way it rides.

It looks like you're out west so it won't be that much a big deal but I drilled out the der. cable gussets so that I could use full housing. It helps a ton if you do any riding in mud and it a really quick mod.

Not for the last 27 pages ;)

They are pretty stiff and yet flickable with those short CS - you can change your heading like... a chick changes her mind :) It's pretty nice at speed too - nice high pivot, but still not too high (yet i have an idler on mine just to make it flawless)

The weight is pretty nice too. My Dragster DH frame, DHX 5.0, axle, hardware/clamp and headset is 4.85kg. That Boxter should be a bit more, but with that bottomless suspension and "endless" travel.... wow :)

The best thing about them is that "WOW Effect" when friends look at it and see that big chunk of aluminum they start asking how much over 20kg does it weight and when they pick it up... the "WOW Effect" kicks in :pirate2:

I guess they just set up for a super heavy lift and even the normal weight feels feather-weight :)

@Racebike - great bike, but isn't that the SingleCrown upgrade on your headtube... why??

And how are the new bars?

Thanks man. I have ridden this one for almost two months now, report and more pictures will be posted soon.

They are from the Czech Republic, hand built by a pretty small crew and the finish/workmanship is superb. The frame you see above has a sh!tload of CNC-machine time, it's hard to describe.

I have been representing them for a little over two years now and I'm very happy with the bikes.

I rode another frame model (SP) called Dragster DH before and it too was a sweet ride, a similar one to djivotno's.

Nice Nicolai by the way. :)

@djivotno: I have a little tweaked geometry, let's leave it at that. :D
New bars are great!

I should have, I was not in the mood to shoot that day, I was too antsy to go out and ride it.

I would get some riding shots of is wasn't 30* and raining for almost 2 weeks now. The trails are far from ready so I don't want to be the dick with 2.5 tires tearing up the local trails.

Hopefully sometime this week though if we get a few dry days.

The ride is amazing though and absolutely no pedal bob. This is going to be a great season.
