Nice! I like the color scheme.
Mine is just at 1 month in the mail, like the saying I guess. "On a slow boat from China".

Millar, Can you give me some details of the paint process for the lowers? I wanna pick up a sherman DJ for my Imp and do a custom paint scheme for the lowers.
I did the fork in cellulose car paint.
Paint a base green, then cut out a load of masking tape camo blobs. Apply over the fork and spray a darker green, add more blobs and spray even darker green. Stick on more blobs and go with a very dark green / black. By the last coat most of the fork should be covered by bits of masking tape.
Now peel of all the masking tape to reveal your camo design, and then hit it with several coats of clear to protect it.
HTH

Really sweet paint job!
It must be more difficult than it sounds.

niceeee evil porn!!! ive wanted an imperial sl for awhile now let alone the imperial for about a year, i wanna get a imperial sl for christmas next year =] your guy's imperials are super sick!!
If the seatpost is 27.2, it's first gen, if it's bigger it's second gen.
here is my Evil built up after a long wait, still need a front dérailleur.
Try this:
Get on Evil.
Pedal to get some speed.
Stand up and lean back.
Enjoy the easiest manual you'll ever do.
I think you'll be happy with the new Imp.

yeah I am not that good...I keep over doing it. lol
Also the first gen imperials had different rear dropouts (the drop out "piece" that's welded to the stays, if that makes sense).
ok, working on the manual thing...I must be doing something wrong. I have noticed that if I squat over the rear wheel and pull back the front wheel comes right up...this is where I just can't seem to find that balance point. I either quit too soon and the wheel drops or I go too far. I will post some new pics as I have changed the bar and stem. =o)
ya hardtail at diablo!!!!!!
Try girating your hips back and forth for balance as if one was pounding Paris Hilton on Infra-Red video.
Hardtails at diablo were rare, and after quite a bit of intimidation from others about how harsh it'd be I found it to be a ton of fun.
k9 - in regards to the manual thing: practice x 3. While the Paris Hilton analogy sounds silly, it helps to do this. Once you find the balance "window," you will probably find yourself humping the air to keep the position of the wheel where you want it. While I'm no pro, I have found that having a remedial grasp of high-speed manualing helps a ton out on the trail, and on the pavement.
actually for me learning to ride the unicycle has helped me wheelieing a lot. I still suck at manuals but i keep trying
I think I may take the Imperial to Diablo instead of the Primo!
I loved my Imperial with the a Travis, but my newly acquired 66 is growing on me.
sweeeeet loving that front rotor too. Good to see more imps with long travel forks 
Am racing mine at Massanutten in a couple weeks we'll see how that goes.

just curious matt, how close to 30lbs are you with the 66VF? mine's the RC2X and I think my imp is running around 34 lbs or so...
Love the undershot of the imp, I'd do something like that but i'd probably kill the photographer trying it. UNLESS i did it laying sideways on the ground and then photochopped sky all around me

The Evil Imperial even looks nice when dirty! lol
where can I get those green boots? They match my Imperial nicely.
You'll have to ask my son...he'd likly wrestle you for them....he's 2 and a half and one tough kid....
Once you ride the Imperial you'll know you made the right decision.
Bye, Bye Jackal
Bye, Bye Jackal
you're absolutely right, I just finally got a second bike (fully), and after ignoring the Evil for a while I got back on her and rode the thing and kept thinking HOLY ****! This thing RULES!
