Do you even know which website you're checking out? I'm fairly sure that most of us here on this board havr ridden a bike similarly set up. Maybe not as nice as Doc's, but there are plenty of people here who ride six inch bikes for street/urban. Maybe you haven't looked around lately, but things are evolving a little since the days of rigid. Suspension opens up tons of opportunities for peole who ride it. I personally just sold my Full suss bike, but I still love what it does for my confidence on street, and the tires are also a no brainer. Hook worms are one of the best tires going for street. Think out your replies before you post them, it might save you a ton of riddicule here
who what?
Great, I'll give you a shout next time we're up, probably won't be for a while though as we've only just been up. That Endor place on your website looks like a lot of fun.
Last time I went to Wharncliffe, some bast**ds smashed the rear window of my car and stole some bags - they got away with a pair of old walking boots, my dainese backplate and a holdall containing a tub of dog biscuits and his grubby towel!!
The rear window cost hundreds to replace (for the insurance company) for them to steal worthless stuff. The funny thing is what they missed, tucked down behind the drivers seat was a £500 digital camera!!!

Ask DOC what the availibility on them is, and how long the wait is. I may be able to purchase the frame this winter if all goes as planned. If I work atleast 17hrs a week till May I can do it, then I just have to sell my v10 frame and I have a complete racelink pretty much. I just picked up a Dorado today for it.

He said mid january for the next batch at the latest
youre gonna have to change your name to SuperSick !SuperSlow said:
congrats on the new rig !
are there any RLs in your area? have you ever seen one in person? I never had seen a RL in person when i ordered mine and then like 2 weeks before mine was ready to ship, i saw one. It made that last 2 weeks seem like 4ever. They are soo incredible.
Are you keeping the color(s) and build sheet under secret until it is finished? If not, lets hear all the juicy details !!
congrats !

thats sweet, superslow. i've only ever seen one rl - once - in whistler. no worries about running into them all over the place.
you're in the b'ham, huh? i used to live just north of you in abbotsford. had regular stops at boundry bay apres mt baker boarding. how i long for their fine ales...

Wurd !
HUH, I don't think that E13 is needed b/c the RL comes w/ a custom made specific for the Bad BOY.. The build sounds very nice; I'm enjoying my Mini link at the moment.
youre in for a freekin giant surprise! i had never seen a TMX either until i bought mine. after i sold it and was looking at the RL in the internet, they looked kinda dainty?? was i ever wrong. You just have to see it in person. Yet I was alittle worried when the UPS guy showed up holdin this small lookin box. My fears were put to rest when i lifted the beast out of the box. I didnt give up anything in the burly factor by selling the TMX. this thing rocks like jailhouse swingset. Amazingly, the frame stands 13.5" tall.SuperSlow said:
Enjoy the 3 month wait until Jan. everyone goes thru it. kind of a right-of-passage type thing.

i dont give a crap. i just want you off the Sc and rollin a BMW already j/krockymt21 said:
(little voices) make the call ... place that order.i wasnt the first with a pink stickered BMW anyway
Just honor the pink by keepin it tasteful. no pink brake cable housing ETC.
joel
Nice, I would love carbon, I was really going for the slealthy look. Maybe I will call him and ask or if tmx knows if its possible. I am really worried if I order it now that I wont have the money or it will take longer then I expected and I will miss races like Mt. Snow that are early in the season...

reminds me of a sad event in my life. i smashed a nearly full 1/2 gallon (those cool glass jugs you can take home) of the stuff on the kitchen tile floor. how heart-rending is that? bb was an hours drive (and a border crossing) away. i've yet to find a local brewpub with such consistantly awesome beer.SuperSlow said:

you can have custom stickers made at a local sign shop. not sure that BMW is gonna custom make sticker kits, especially if youre wanting it sooner rather than later. Let the guys build the bikes, save the LD call. It's not like that is a deciding factor for ya anyway.

Yippee! youre probably lookin at the $1500 ballpark for the v10. the sweet thing about BMW is that they dont fatigue, ding, dent, crack or wear out like an aluminum frame will. this bike will last you for along time. youre 16 now and most likely a freekin monster on a bike already. Between 16 and 20 years, your skills are going to skyrocket. It would be nice to have a bike that will last you those 4 years and be just like new the whole time. just throw some new bearings and new paint to change things up alittle once a year. Once you make that first big investment in the frame, your ahead of the game in the long run.rockymt21 said:
Obviously, dont get yourself in financial trouble. ride the v10 in 05 if that's what you have already planned on doing. money 4 building a new ride, new safety gear and travel money for next year does not grow on trees. do what you can and whats realistic for your age and income. Hit youre parents up for a chunk of change for making A's in school or something.
later, im going to dinner!
Thanks for all the help. I was thinking about the same for the V10 frame. I was kind of thinking the same about making the big investment. The way I see it, I pay $3,700 for a top of the line frame that will last me a long time rather then buy a new race bike year after year and lose a bunch of money like I have been. Even though I am a racer I need the extra strength, I am not small (6'3'' 260lbs) and I am not the smoothest rider. I definetly want a bike to hold up to my and my riding conditions whether it be 4 years of dh use or hucking (15ft is my biggest so far) I dont think I will have any problems with money. I am going to pay for the frame myself but I most likely wont have all the money by January if thats when it comes, but thats when I can borrow some cash from my mom and pay her back as I get paychecks. Anyway, I'll put my V10 up for sale soon and see how that goes. I am going to make sure I sell the V10 before I go placing an order on my frame.joel hester said:

what is the back spacing on the link?? Im sure its been said but im too lazy to look through all the 107 pages of threads. ( i Think this is the longest thread ive seen on a board other than ot)
the rear spacing is 150 total. uses a 135mm x 12mm hub and 15mm is used by the floating brake assembly.

Sweet thanks Joel -----King it is i guess
take notes and let us know w/ pics how it goes cause you'll have to have the "end caps" i guess they're called machined to accept the 12mm axle. to my knowledge, CK does not make a 12mm thru axle.

hmmm dunno Ill have to check at work
