and here are some pictures.
So far I love the bike. I ordered it with build kit 2, keep the boxxer, add a 40.
Couldn't swing the cheese for the saint build, plus I have a 40 on my old big hit as well as x9 drivetrain, avid brakes on all the other bikes in the garage so why not keep it consistent for serviceability, familiarity and parts collecting.
TR450, plows less than the specialized big hit I was riding, way more responsive, has a nice pop to it, rewards me for riding loose and letting the bike do its thing, WAY more comfortable off jumps and in the air then the big hit was, (i suck at the jumpingz), seems to let me recover from mistakes better, overall I really like the bike.
New:
Step one, destroy clean garage, make room for new bike, pretend its christmas morning.
Step two, admire
Step 3: Obligatory just finished it picture, with hand me down pedals.
Step 4:
Install sticker from your 6 year old son
Step 5:
Ride with friends
Step 6:
Enter race with fancy new colored pedals
Step 7
Clean bike with Fiance's daughter. Cleans bikes are Fast bikes.
Step 8
Order purple "stuff" to make fiance all excited about her hand me down DH bike
Step 9
Go riding again on new bike.
