Up sh*t creek, without a paddle
After much worrying and trepidation, I finally got my new DH frame (FR/Enduro rig pics coming soon!!). The insurance company finally came through with the moola for my "liberated-from-my-garage" bikeys. About 85% of the parts are in...just waiting on my Avy, Gustav brakes, and Hadley hubs now. I only got pics of the frame for now....but something is better than nothing.

(I'll keep this thread updated with more as it comes...)

NORCAL is the hizzle
I am really digging that frame...indeed, it really is pimpus maximus! Such a clean floater idea, and the chainguide will move with the swingarm, nice!!

Sweet frame, speaking of cool colors, what kind of hub is that tangerine hub in the case? do the have a set? how much? gotta know

Looks like a gold Hadley to me....I don't look in that case too much...cause my wallet is usually A LOT thinner if I do...

As to pricing, I have absolutely no idea what I paid.....I blocked out everything except for the final number. I figure, if insurance is picking up the tab, as long as I get what I want and it comes in for less than what I got a check for, it's ALL GOOD!!!

Go-Ride has:

Hadley Fronts = $125 20mm thru
Hadley Rears = $270 for the 12mm thru x 150mm

Hmmm...108pt are no longer available?!!!!??? hmmm I wonder if mine are going to be 108's.....

Edit: No...mine will be the new 72's.... damn!

Well, it's now Monday, and I've gotten 2 days of riding on this bad boy....it's a whole new level. This bike is AWESOME! I can't wait to race it at Fontucky!

The only things I'm missing are my Avy DHS w/ Ti spring (and hi-low compression adjust!), my RED hadley wheelset (the blue hadleys laced to the syncros rims are just loaners), and the Hopey damper...

My Turner has been shipped and will arrive sometime while I'm in Cali, so pics of that will have to wait. But here's the brand spankin' new Rotec RL9!!!

That is so f'n hot dude. I so want an orange bike, but it won't rank with that, even if I get one. :drool:

Finally got all my own parts on my bikey...Just in time for my whirlwind trip to Whistler and Deer Valley!! I leave in 3.75 hours!! w00t!! I still don't have my trail bike...but that's for training purposes anyway :rolleyes: and who needs to do that when there's lots 'o vert waiting for me!!!:love:

Here's the finished product...and yes, I know the photos are blurry...I had to rush it to make it to work on time...sorry. :dead:









I'm actually going to take my camera on my trip this time (along with my laptop) so I'll be able to (hopefully!!) get some good shots of some carnage and what not.....

After many months of waiting on Hadley, I'm finally going to be able to pick up my new Turner RFX (my Rotec's little brother!!) from the shop!!! T-minus 59 minutes!! Double w00t!! I shall be taking it home and photographing it shortly thereafter and will post pics prior to the inaugural ride commencing no later than T-minus 3 hours and 30 minutes from now!! I'm so excited I could spunk....well, almost.... :banana: :busted:
