Apparently you missed the Ridemonkey rule where you have to post pics of your bike if you are going to talk about it :D

Is it the yellow one? I had one of those ordered back in '01 and it never came, so I had to get an AC1. I wanted that bike so bad.

Maybe I got yours Echo - when I bought mine (4 Banger), a large company that I will only refer to as "SG" here sent me 2 of them after numerous mixups - and never contacted me about return of the second one.

It's even got the Fox on the rear - I ordered one of those for my 4 Banger - FYI the only difference between 4 Banger and Straight 6 frames are the shock (just in case you are ever looking for a replacement swingarm, etc...)

Not entirely true. The swingarms and such are all interchangable, but the Straight 6 mainframe got a couple gussets that the 4 banger frames didn't have. Most noticably, one on the seattube where the 4 banger frames were known to crack occasionally.

The entire rear end is interchangable between the frames, though, and swapping for the Straight 6 shock on the 4 banger frame does in fact give you the same travel as the Straight 6.

I have, yes. Not the best though. There are some real good joints in TX. Lockhart has the most good ones I can think of.

I guess that doesn't surprise me too much - since the state is kind of known for BBQ - it's the only place down there that I have tried - in all fairness. Rachel's (fiancee) parents live about 3 minutes from Rudy's - nice landscape, I kinda like it down there.
