Thanks. It was a custom color, M&M Orange. Had to pay GG extra to get it, but it was worth it. While I was waiting for it to arrive, I spent way too much time fantasizing about it and had a bunch of different decals made up in different styles and sizes. I figure this will probably be the most custom bike I will ever buy, so I made it totally unique.

looks awesome. 
What weight spring are you using/how heavy are you, if you don't mind me asking?So only got one ride in with the coil and it was in regular gravity mode. But I have been running the bike mostly in Super G mode with a Monarch Debonair. When it worked, it was great. But I've had really bad luck with rear shocks lately. I've had to send the monarch in for service twice. I only bought the Van RC as a cheap backup mostly. Also to try out what a coil feels like on this bike. But I think it may turn into something more than that as I do love me some coil
Initial impression is that it feels more like a DH bike with a coil. Will be riding more today. It does have more pedal bob than I'm used to. May try it in Super G mode too.
I had a CCDBA on my 5Spot for 2 years before the MegaT. So I know your pain in set up. And your future pain in maintenance.
Initial impression is very good. I'm still fiddling with the tuning, and I want to try a 50lb heavier spring, but midstroke support is definitely better than the CCDBa CS I was using before, even with a large volume spacer installed. Climbing definitely suffers a little with the coil and its lack of climb switch but whatever. That's not what I bought the bike for.
nice, looks like fun.

Tunnel is for losers. I'm full Santa Cruz hype now. Flow trail only.
I do want to ride Wydopen's secret trail though. I'll have to check that out next time I'm around 'that area'.
Prepare for wow, bring sunglasses.
Neon rootbeer?
"Gemini" could totally be a stripper name ...
T-minus one day. I'll give you guys a little teaser

A 7.1" head tube? Why are you riding bikes? You should be dunking on Lebron tonight.
But seriously, really hoping for a stripper friendly, bass boat paint job. Hooray for bedazzled bikes!!
Bike is together. It feels unreal. Unlike any other bike on the planet. I took a few pics, but they are shitty since the sun is going down. Prepare to have all your brains turn into sh*t tomorrow once I get some good ones.
Look for me in Santa Cruz tomorrow. The bike will literally be impossible to miss...or forget...for the rest of your life.

i don't care what it looks like anymoar-it's taken him so long the color is now officially "blueballz"
We haven't seen many with KOM i25's, but a handful have the KOM i23's from last year. If you're a lighter rider or easy on wheels, they work. The i25 version weighs around 50g more per rim (around 470g each I think), if my memory is correct, which probably indicates slightly higher wall thickness. I would consider that a good thing.
Another way to shave a similar number of grams with less trade-off is to get the Minion DHR2 tires front/rear. Those are the same casing and size as the HR2 and DHF, but for whatever reason, 50-100g lighter per tire. I would guess that the tread design ends up with less rubber volume, and hence, less grams.
Thanks. I do like the DHRII, so maybe I'll give the 2.3 a shot at some point.
While we're talking tires, the Michelin Wild Rockr 2 is a ridiculously good front tire. It's a little on the heavy side, and not especially high volume, but the casing seems really burly and the cornering grip is monstrous. Definitely better than a 2.5 3C DHF.
