Krylontastic!!

How you liking the new tubeless/airless system in the rear?

What's up with the colors on the seatstay?

 

[Acadian]

Photoshop..

 

[s1ngletrack]

The seat - is that ribbed? "Indescribable, the more wonderful than you can believe it!"

Nice bike, I'd like to have one myself.

 

[JK:UK]

haha photoshop! i wish it was that simple!

yeah its not finished yet...awaiting chain, cable, and outer. new goodridge hoses, and both brakes need bleeding.

the seat came apart about 2 years ago, zip-ties fixed it...never needed a new one!

the seatstay is camo reflective tape painted blue with nail varnish.

Looks as if you're a team rider for ODI (the silver grips gave it away), you should get you some new blue lock-ons too!

theyre not silver grips, they're just very well used black ones, and the flash has bleached them a bit in the photo.

 

[JK:UK]

[gastro]

You should place high at the next bike show. Looks nice.

same...red would of been nice...or simple BLACK!!

 

[deelux 247]

Dude you would make the old hardcore mountainbikers from the 80's shed a tear on the beauty of all that anodizing. But, it's not truly hardcore unless you go with purple anodizing then you've got true bling to show around to the ladies.

Personally, I like mine with lots of scratches - and a replacement bit thrown in here or there.

 

[narlus]

3D violet...what were we thinking?

actually, i kinda dig the sour apple green color of the CK stuff...

 

[Prechrysler]

Very nice bike. Blue and black go well together. Kinda like this VP-Free.

ahh trust..there are scratches!

its only done 2 weeks riding so far, and they were both in morzine.

since then, the shock is now TF TUNED, and the fork has had a factory service after i changed the lowers which had cracked.

also new shifter as i broke my x.9 one...and twisted my pc69.

hmm shame about the front wheel too, needs replacing. had it three years, so thinking about a front blue bulb also on EX823.

What ever happened to those ads that used to be in the back of MBA?

I used to get my kicks reading through all of those wonderful ad sayings that were lost in translation...

[JK:UK]

sigh...

yes i happen to be very competent with photoshop.

although i do like to ride, instead of stay in playing with the colour replace tool.

i have to say, the very fact you guys have mentioned this, has been pointed out to my by mates as such a compliment!

FORTUNATELY for me, i have a very good anodising company very nearby, and that all the work seen, is entirely real.

 

[skeletor]

schweeet! u own an anodizer or wut?

 

[JK:UK]

nope. a friend works at an electroplating company.

this is the first stuff ive ever had done...i hope it doesnt turn into an obsession.
ill leave the hardtail silver and black i think!

 

[Tully]

Schweet. All that blue is awesome.

 

[Funky Monk]

Pretty cool demo, PS came to my mind as well..hm.

Customization is always good... not for the wallet though!

Anodising...that's something I'd like to try for a frame!

 

[eastcoastzigzag]

sweet accents man. very tasteful.

does this mean ano purple is comin back?!

 

[JK:UK]

haha im tempted to do the hardtail in ano'd purple.

all the anodising cost me £15. hmm not expensive then

 

[seismic]

That is just one cool bike ! I like it very much.
