Heck yeah get that 5th avy tuned and ride it like you stole it... Man I loved those bikes I had 2...oddly enough, I dont think haven't posted yet. 41-2 lbs, I think. Mine is a classic, lol
Now a buddy has 1 we beat on it has a avy tuned 5th and a Avy DHF on front. The 5th tuned what a difference... Still love the freeride ablility of that bike....
hmm, I'll have to look into that. I have never really been a fan of the 5th. it's like riding a dying slug. Ill have to lookin into getting it tuned since I'm riding it a ton more now.
LMAO.....
Yeah avalanche downhill suspension has an amazing rework of the whole shock. Makes it come alive and is speed sensative afterwards...

Cant get over your ride man, that thing LOOKS PIMP!!!!came in today at 39.9 with mid weight DH tubes
You did a hell of a build and color on that not too much but enough to make it tough and clean.....
Thx bullcrew..really appreciate that...I tried to keep it simple...hoping to get it out this weekend for a maiden voyage so last time it will be looking like thisCant get over your ride man, that thing LOOKS PIMP!!!!

If its anodized wipe it down before you ride with WD-40 it will keep it new looking then the muck and crud comes right off just reapply the WD-40 and it literally stays new looking. Mines seen hell and back tons of mud/snow/water/claycrap and it still looks new. #3m polish takes the hoops nad powder coat and keeps em looking new... FIgured on off days chillin at one of the shops I just bring it with and spruce it up.Thx bullcrew..really appreciate that...I tried to keep it simple...hoping to get it out this weekend for a maiden voyage so last time it will be looking like this
Damn good looking though.....
41.5lbs....maybe ill go tubeless and save another 800+grams and if Obtanium ever gets their act together, a Ti spring
i thought you were gonna try to sell the Evil....

Good eye didn't even see that. Could have atleast done hs22 magura hydraulic rim brakes. That way they could clamp down heat the rim and boil the sidewall...
Man that's crazy I bought my wife a fsr like that 5 years ago... she rode it twice. Now she has a nice 26 lb xc bike she doesn't. Ride...
~36lbs
