[zmtber]

nice its a killer ride get chris king headset, and saint brakes (something other then hayes) and its a ride that will kill people down the track

 

[Threepointtwo]

Build it now and send us pictures!

 

[wingman24]

OK on the KING, but I'm super-anti SH!TMONO, I have been thinking about some Magura Gustav's w/dangerboy levers ( I hate the stock ones) anyone? I would build it now but the frames are on a boat right now, but sooon yes very sooon..........

 

[SXtrailrider]

tath a will be so nice post pice when done.

I am not a fan of shimano either, but at the moment there are no brakes on the market I would run over my saints.

check out avid juicy's also. Possibly juicy 7 carbons...

 

[konabiker]

Way too grabby for my taste.

 

[haromtnbiker]

I got some Magura Liouse Fr's on my bighit. Even with a discount price, they are still hella pricey. The gustav's are super fricken expensive. :

 

[MOTODH]

sweet bike, the hayes will work fine

 

[Bicyclist]

Other than the suicide shift I love it!

 

[schweino1]

Dude, you might wanna reconsider the chain... i would recommend the PC-991 or 971..... not too much difference in price....

 

[mtbpaint1]

you'll love it, with out a doubt youll want to have sex with it. Get it

 

[W4S]

uh, what's suicide shift?

 

[Bicyclist]

uh, what's suicide shift?

No front derailleur.

 

[wingman24]

suicide shift is when you run 2 rings with no front mech, you can shift between them on the f1 by using your foot to switch between rings, it only works because of the chain pully, its just so you can run 22/34 and an mrp guide, I have to because alot of the trails I ride aren't shuddleable, so I have to sometimes.....................ready for it?........pedal up the hilll....:love: but the f1 pedals real well, and if you build it up light it isn't bad at all. (for all you nay sayers chris canfield has been running a suicide shift at races the last couple of years )

 

[bikerpunk98199]

how about some juicy 7's

 

[wingman24]

I was also thinking maybe hope m6ti front m4 rear?

 

[Thrillkil]

I have to echo a recommendation for either saints or avids - hope's are too expensive.

You might want to look into carbon MRP bashguards

 

[DHS]

HOPE!

the M6's on my bmw are a dream. and lighter then the 2004 M4s i had on there.

 

[dante]

dude, you didn't really spec Lizard Skin grips, did you? those things have a chance of catastrophic failure, causing a rift in the very fabric of the universe, possibly ending all existance as we know it.

please, think of the children...

 

[Dogboy]

Howitzer BB is only compatible with 06 Holzfeller/Hussefelt cranks.

 

[wingman24]

dogboy, I've spoken to both Truvativ and Middleburn and they both told me it would work fine, its just an isis spindle.........

right...

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

Sick build. sounds awesome!

I held a bent and mangled XO rear in my hands once upon a time. Never again will i spend that much $ when the x7 does just as good a job.

Someone needs to build a white CFB F1, 06 boxxer WC and a DHXA shock. that would be ubber sickness!

 

[wingman24]

jimmy, i think someone is biulding that bike, IRIDEBIKES it will be almost as sick as this bike.

 

[ShredsTheGNAR]

I was gunna build a formula 1 with a dhx air and a fox40rc2 with all good components. I decided to go with the sunday wc in the end.....

did you see that black ano sunday with the RC2 and deemax ? damn that was hotness

 

[renegade999]

what do I think? i think your bank account is going to be about 6 grand lighter.

 

[wingman24]

that may be the case, but you have to have priorities
and no, think a little over half that number
