I run a Mich tubeless 2.5 in the mid setting. A 2.35 should fit but it will be close but it should fit

Here is your bar bro.

your bike should be ready about now. sounds like you did get the last one of the most recent batch. mine was number #65 so maybe you are #66 ????

I dont know about the dropouts. they make the 24" and 26" dropouts / derailleur hanger. you can run a 24" tire in the 26" dropout but not sure about the other way around ???

laterz,

joel

I'm in total agreement, especially since we now have the other site all to ourselves. I think RM's been real nice to us already anyway.

Shortness, what the heck is that little guy doing?!...working up to his own sticky? Yikes! (Been good, btw, how's about you?)

Hi Mark, nice to e-see you.

Nice to E-see you too Terry!

But I took the DC fork off my Cheeta in favor of a Z1 FR :eek:

But no worries - I think I'm going to put it back into Dual Crown/DH Mode. :devil: :cool: Probably even run one chainring on it too! :thumb:

Sweet heavenly Mother Nature, what the heck am I going to do all winter besides work to pay for next season? This weekend is the season finale at Plattekill. It would be terrific to see you all there.

hey tmx, you might think you're all badass and stuff on that chromed RL... Well i have news for you... You absolutely are :)

That little guy is Stewie for the cartoon "family guy". Stewie always plots to kill his mom and in that scene i think he was trying to seduce his kintergarden girlfriend to be who ended up only liking him cause he gave her cookies.

Cookies, that works on chicks right? :D

Oh yeah, it is in. I cant tell you how impressive this frame is in person. It is burly. I thought i was getting a "less-is-more" with the RL but this thing is as burly as the TMX, maybe even more so. The heattube gussets look identical to my TMX's. The frame came in such a small box i had a double-take look at the UPS guy.

Im missing stem, rear hub, seat and that's it. it should be running soon. i ordered the hub a while back so it should be built and shipped anytime.

ya you should see the box the mini comes in, they'er tiny in deed. Makes for less wobble during the ship process. The RLs and minis have the unmistakeable TMX heritage, but it feels like they just took a TMX and compressed it down 50%. It's a super concentrated crack pill. crack comes in pills right? :p

Ack! Is that what it seems like? Might feel more like a badass if it was a pic of me railing a berm, floating through a rock garden or smoothly landing a ten-foot drop. I'm just a poseur in that pic. Thanks for the kindness though, because NOW I feel like a badass.

"It's a super concentrated crack pill." LOL.

I wonder where mac's been? Marcus, are you out globe-trotting again?

Hi Dave. Welcome to the thread. Fred was crusing the IB aisles on a plain ol' mini link. There's a pic of it in the post by xy9ine that started this thread.

Yep, baby King Penguin. Easy on the frisky fruit though, eh.

You failed to include SCCP in the multitude of mini alias's.

That is a big front on that bike. The fork look huge compared to the frame size. :eek:
Nah, the tubing of the frame is big, especially the downtube, it dwarfs the monsters stanchions. the RL is burly.

before i get it all together "for real" im taking the frameset up to the LBS and getting a weight. it feels lighter than the TMX for sure. then i'll get a weight after the Ti spring and Ti axle are installed.

what race frame did you decide on seismic?? there is a brand new sinister 9" with Avy on ebay for 1500 usd.

Hey, i had a comeback bike too after a long recovery from a crash. those bikes always turn out nice cause you are in no hurry and can choose just what you want.

your bike turned out really nice. love every part on that thing.

joel

Do not expect Japanese people to speak English, - they normally do not ! But you just learn a little Japanese and go for it :thumb: BMW is pronounced quite the same ;)
