Well, after years of dreaming about a white Balfa BB7, I finally made it happen.
2003 regular size (I am 6'1" and it fits fine).
2004 Shiver
Avy rear shock
Mavic rims and Hayes brakes from my old Iron Horse SGS Expert.
Truvative cranks and BB.
Evil SRS
FSA oversized bar
I just built it up last weekend and took it for two rides. One at the local dirt jumps, the other at a local DH shuttle run. I still need some time to dial in the suspension, but so far both the Shiver and the Avy are great. As you would expect, it is stiff as can be and rides like it is on a rail. 48 pounds sounds like a lot, but it doesn't feel like it on the trial (though it sucks lifiting it up to put in the truck).
Much love to Sean and Robert for selling me the frame and the fork. You guys were great.
Here she is :love:
