Man, this is the best thread ever. Chromegodess, you really a girl? If so, that's awesome. Wish my girl got into bikes as much as me. I'm a total info freak with bikes. I want to know every inch of that frame once I get it, which wont be till the end of the Summer (If I'm lucky) 
I'm hopin I can find a Shiver SC after I buy the frame. That's what I want on it. I have one on my other bike and I don't notice any flex. I would stuff some stiffer springs in it though. I just love the look of the inverted forks. I got a Z.1 Freeride on my new MTX and I'm just not diggin the crown on the marzocchi freeride forks. Anyhow, keep this sheite goin yo. MORE PICS DAMMIT. I know the FQ hasn't been around that long, but where's ALL THE GOD DAMN PORN. NEED MORE

Well, nobody order one till I get mine, caus I don't want to have to wait for them to make another one after I get the money up, and right now I guess they have a couple ready for paint.

knucklerager, 'tis true. but i can't front like i have the slightest clue as to why my bikes work as well as they do. also i'm royally spoiled when it comes to maintenance/repairs. however, i would do just about anything to ride and am forever on a mission to get more women into it, so if you ever wanna bring your chica to the mountain lemme know. we'll arrange to have the female recruiting posse brainwash your ol' lady into thinking the she were born to ride a bike in the dirt. maybe she's already down, just not as enthused (eh-hem) as you are. anyway, it's all good as long as she lets you have your fun, eh?
edit: can't....stop....posting....must stop...work ... calls.... NOOOO!....
you're funny, telling us to not order our mini's til yours is done and paid for. if'n i had 3600g in the account i'd scoop that poop up so fast the flies would be confused. my guess is they will likely do a run of several at once, so it's might be better if more people put some duckets down for them. just a guess, so i might be wrong.

Thanks! I am diggin the blue blue sky as well in that pic.....nothing better than blue sky and bikes IMO - well at least nothing better for me right now.chromegoddess said:
(well except for time with my sons - that rules above all!).Marcus - if you are following this thread closely - I'd love to have a high res version of your photo as well - or perhaps you could give chromegoddess permission to forward it along to me.
Thanks!

She's alright I guess. What other wife would let her hubby spend 3500 on a frame and a total of 5000 on the bike a couple months after building another 3000 trail bike. I'm not rich either, just always have a way to scrounge up money for bikes somehow. F-IRAQ, GOD BLESS THE USA. Sorry, know the pic is a repost, but I don't have a FQ yet to put up
Here's my latest build. Love this phucking thing. Rides like a cloud. 5th element coil on the way soon from IH.

Chromegoddess - Is that the Mini? I always thought it was the Race Link.
"also i'm royally spoiled..." ....yaahhaaaa...
Sikocycles - You have all the Brooklyns except one. Just buy the damn thing!...
Knuckleslammer - The FQ has been around for a while...
MMcG - You don't have to use quotes that are 1 million times longer than you reply. Yeah, I'll send you the pic. Email? If that's okay with you Chromegoddess of course? :heart:

I am waiting on something special and when Doc builds a run of Fqs with a longer toptube I will be first in line....
No its not a longet TT Fq. Something else I am sworn to secretcy
eh! no fighting, biting or hair pulling. no shoving out of line or taunting either. must play nicenice with your fellow brooklyaholics.
yes my son marcus, you are free to forward a high res version of your photo to mark.
if you need me to forward whatever you send me i will do so promptly, just let me know.
yes that is the first mini, the one andrew picked up. race link hadn't been born yet. i could have previously mis-labeled a picture that would have lead you to believe that. sorry if that's so.

Are you talking about Doc's bike? The one you dropped in Snowshoe at awards?chromegoddess said:
the snowshoe bike is different than the white one in the pic. but umm...thanks for bringing that up. NOT!!! wasn't really my fault it dropped, i was the merely the scapegoat. that was funny though...when the swarm of medal hungry racers silenced after the crashing sound and "ooooooh'd in unison. good lawd, my face must have been beet red.Repack said:Are you talking about Doc's bike?

Hey Siko-
When will you let out your "secret" and does it have the initials BMW (he,he,he)?

it was kinda funny in this particular situation, though doubtful i could relay the story sufficiently. location humor is what i call it, also known as: "had to be there". but all is well and there is barely a scuff on the bar end cap and pedal.
I am a friend (I hope?) of CG and was just giving her s*. There were like 1,000 things going on at once for both her and Doc at the time of the exchange. The result was that Doc's bike tipped over and landed only on its BMW bar cap. No harm, no foul. There were no toe-tags, or even hurt feelings for that matter. It was funny b/c everyone who heard the noise knew what it was (even if they didn't see it) and made appropriate noises.macmx said:What happened at Snowshoe? You dropped a bike, so what?...
so does(did?) the TMXDHS said:macmx, my Racelink comes the same way with the cable guide.
CG, thanks for that lovly piece of mail.
Thanks man, it's good to know that they are quality craftsman. I don't work metal, but it is my belief that if you don't do something to 100%, don't phucking do it at all. People make fun of me for putting 3m protective tape on my bikes downtube and where the cables rub. "Why the phuck do you do that man, just ride the bike"
Well
A. I like perfection and strive for it.
B. It's my phucking bike with my hard earned money that paid for it
C. Part of building a bike is the attention to detail of the build.
D. IT'S PHUCKING FUN AND I LIKE TO DO IT.
ALRIGHT? JHFC
not ranting about anyone in particular on this thread, people just get to me when it comes to bikes and the way I do sheit. If I get rid of a frame, the next buyer gets something that is relatively unscathed and happy.
Good to see those cats do quality work. So is this basically a 2 man show? Joe and Doc? Who does what? Just curious.
Ok, question for you folks. If you were getting a brandy new FQ in black, what fork would you put on it. I like the 05 marzocchi 66, but since was told that 6" was too much for the bike and unless there is a lowering kit for the 66, I'll go with a shiver SC (If I can find one) or something else.
Whadaya think fruitcakes. Oh and ChromeGodess, that's a beautiful bike you got there lady.

Knucks - I'd say a 5" Shiver would be a pretty good choice. You could probably run a smaller fork (the new shiver) and a 26" wheel up front, but you won't want a fork that small on the FQ.
I'd say the perfect fork for the Mini (I'm trying to be modest here), is the Dorado SC like on my bike. This fork is sooo good. Stiff, rigid, strong, takes big hits, and (like Chromegoddes said) looks cool. I used to bottom out my 2004 Z.1 ALL THE TIME, so I switched to this fork. Hard to get a hold of though, since they went out of production a while ago, and expensive too.
I think any fork would work with the bike, but I'd stick with as stiff and rigid a fork as possible, to make sure that you can use the FQ's ability to soak up anything to the fullest.

6" is not a lot for the mini but it does raise the front quite a bit. Matter of preference i think.
The 6" forks usually never really get 6"s of travel anyway. Like my super T barely gets over 5 and a half and I run it soft.

If Knucks is as tall as me, as he says he is, I wouldn't recommend it. You could probably use it well enough for DH and stuff, where you're going to be on your front brake alot. I actually thought af buying one of the 150mm Shermans for putting on when riding DH, but I decided to get a new 5" instead.Shortbus said:
For street and jumping a 5" would be better, I'm sure.
I agree to disagree
Try having 4 feet long legs.Shortbus said:I agree to disagree
No but seriously, anything is cool.
Let's just let Knucks decide for himself.
Like Doc said in Litter:"Always covet the bike not for the object that it is, but for the riding joy it brings you."
So true...
no i know i was just pushing ya 
I know for a fact that with long leggs you will definitely wanna stay away from a dual triple clamp on a small bike like that, if anything to save your knees!!!
EDIT: 4 feet! that's almost my entire self!
