That's a great looking bike. I'm getting jealous. Looks very clean w/o the decals. That's one of the first bikes I've seen where the Fox 40 did not look huge and out of place. Have fun.

Yea I got it from Adrian, Hey I have a question for ya My email is pfragale@hvc.rr.com send me yours so we can talk
awsome build man, and if you get the chance i say make your way up to the asheville area and hit up some of the shops and they will be able to direct you to some good dh trails. have fun man and enjoy nc.
It's very flat around here. Check out http://trianglemtb.com/ and look up the Bicycle post trails in Greenville. Probably the closest technical trails to New Bern.phil said:
And in it's life before THAT.
WOW, now that is muddy. Not to trash your ride or anything and its just a sugestion i think it would look alittle better with the factory stickers..you know? it would just complete it. but w/e its ur bike just an idea.
You talkin to me or the red version? It's the same bike in 3 pics. Factory stickers were on it when i had it, just under the mud.
Orange stickers? Email orange, they will mail you some.phil said:
Very Niceee. Makes me want to get mine painted!
I'm actually very impressed to see a bike go through 3 owners like that. All the mega-groms down here ride super-janky oranges that make a ton of noise. I kinda assumed they were all cracked. Does a brand new orange make a ton of noise?

haha, that reminds me of all the people with M1's around here that are lound as sh*t.
basically if you put some sort of protection on the swingarm (near the dropout where the deraileur and chain can slap it) you have a silent bike... and sram deraileurs help too since the can't swing forward and hit the swingarm.
so many peopl neglect doing such a simple thing and their bikes sound awful (not to mention swingarms that are all paint chiped and ugly). i love sitting on the lift and hearing metal on metal noise from super expensive bikes as the deraileur and chain hit hollow swingarms.
my 223 and 224 were/are silent
