You'll need to PM Nicolai-USA for the up-to-date info; the Euro vs Dollar fluctuations can change it...the Nicolai website has an estimate of $850 Euros.

Rabie, I really think I might do that, but it's not hugely important to me. Can't wait to get some riding in with you. (you should get one white Nicolai decal for your frame; it'd look striking against all the black. Put it on the top of the downtube or something... :p )

Well, I know I've posted these pics ALL OVER the web, but hell - this is a burly-ass hardtail, so I may as well put 'em here:






These are pretty much the ONLY pictures that have ever come out of my digital camera that I'm 100% satisfied with; too bad it took like a whole hour to set up the shoot.

Specs:
'03 Evil Imperial
'98 Marzocchi Z.1 Dual
24" Arrow DHX laced to Hayes Elite, 3.0 Intense rubber
XT discs, 8"/6"
FSA X-drive cro-mo cranks, 22/36
Evil DRS
XTR shifter/derailleurs/SRAM Attack front shifter
Atomlabs Trail King pedals
FSA Pig DH Pro
FSA 1.5 reducers
FSA DH400 bar
Thomson 70mm stem, 410mm post
WTB SST/K seat
Really not sure on weight, scale says 38# but I think it's about 40.

Trimmability...I run SRAM fronts even if I'm using a trigger rear, too.

Yep. That means if your chain is rubbing on the derailleur cage at extreme crosschain situations (like 22/34t rear going up a steep-ass hill) you can click the derailleur cage over a hair to eliminate the rubbing. Or, when trying to shift under pressure, you can overshift a click or two to speed up the shift. It just gives you more adjustability than a trigger, which is all-or-nothing.

Thanks man, they're BRUTAL. I can just case the hell out of anything, at like 15psi, no worries about p-flats. Plus, it's like having rear suspension!

If it's rideable, i'm on it
Damn Narlus that Evil is so pimping:thumb: I'd love to get my hands on one of those Monsters as it is the only one that i would consider putting on my .243 Racing:thumb:


On a side note i had a set of the 2.7 Highrollers on the Mavic D3.1's last week.Wondered why and what for you setup the Evil with the beefier tires:confused: I take it Bromount but what for:confused: I had them on the .243 Racing but went back to the Michelin 2.2 Comp 24's again.Figuared i had them use them:confused:
