Killer rig man!
sorry if it came off the wrong way
tickfootinmouth: i was trying to say that you dont have to drop a ton of coin on part spec to have a nice bike, thats all. let me ask you, its that saddle comfortable? i have one of thier saddels on my road bike and it feels like a 2x4
actually, to spec. this bike out as it is right now wouldn't be what i'd call a ton of coin, but not so cheap eitherOriginally posted by the BIG cheese

fizik nisene saddle, ti rails
anyway, i'm very happy w/ it.
as far as the seat goes, i love it for xc where my full weight isn't on the saddle, but for this application it's a little harsh, although the ti rails do have some give to them... in truth, i've only run the seat on it for one ride 3 hrs... and i was ok afterwards.
that seat's on this bike because the one that came with it was far too long & didn't let me x-up the bars.

dump...whats with the white maxxis? looks good, photoshopped, no?
it's a black and white picture....
it's not white... the frame's white & the orange/red of the maxxis stripe comes out light like this in the b/w shot because this bw was created heavily from the red color channel (of the 3 RGB channels).. it was created in photoshop but essentially has the same effect as shooting this scene in BW with a red filter.
as a reference, the light parts on the seat are also red and they come out as a light grey much like the tires... the tires appear lighter because they're set against the black rubber.
so if when you asked if it was photoshop - yes... but i didn't manually select the areas of the tire & brigten them, only used the red color channel as a greyscale (more or less)

dump, your bike is incredible!! wow!!
CTR, sweet bike, nice jumping action

Since this is a post all about hardtails, i thought id ask about the Planet-X JackFlash RAD, anyone ridden one? pros, cons?
This is a calculator for possible combinations for single speed w/verticle dropouts,but for my chute it didn't quite work,If I had access to lots of chainrings and cassettes I'd experiment,but instead I just made my own tensioner outa an old cantilever brake arm.

BAH-get a Surly Sinlgleator...they're not super expensive, like $40 or something, and they're more compact than a derailleur BY FAR.
Only took me a year to get them!

dump- VERY nice looking bike. excellent job with the lighting too!
heres mine all cleaned up..

From what I can read, the tire name is "hemisphere" 26x1.95 and I'm guessing thats a specialized tire...
