NICE! I am jealous, that is a really pretty build! I love the white and everything matches so well. 
Any day next week
Im sorry, but gonna have to show these young upstarts how to do it.
Cant have them gettin too big for their boots.

Brian: You're a traitor
Terry that has to be the best build that is color cordinated as weel as being able to do the job. I can really see your road/XC background in that build as it looks like you were very particular about the build in general.Very nice job there and thanks for the pics
BTW Terry are you able to get the Michelins in a 2.8 that you have
I'm trying to find a shop that might carry them in a size bigger than a 2.2 in a Comp 32.I'm not having much luck in Vt. at all

And thank you, I believe I am very color coordinated also.
have you found that you can run the hookworms tubless with no sealent?
i threw them on my d 3.1's lastweek and they mounted up tubless! i rode them for a couple days at like 50 psi and they lost no pressure! i was running the high roller semislick to save a little wieght but with no tube in the hookwoms they wiegh about the same anyway...and there 2.5 that roll super fast and look real sweet.
Maybe you already new this but just some FYI...

I tried it both ways. The front has no sealant, and the rear does. Both are holding air fine.
Wow, your bike inspires me to do great things with my life. It's amazing!
I know, I'm like 3 weeks late into this one.. but I just wanted to add that in.

Does he even still have that bike? I thought it made its way to a new owner.....
You are correct DBR ! That is now my Evil,only difference from that pic is it now has Hope M4's.
This must be the Lazarus of RM threads!
Anyway, I had to sell it cause I was friggin broke!
But things are looking up, so I will soon have the chance to build up another one. For me it is still the best bike ever built, and I will get another one...soon I hope.
Also, I really want the orange or red color, and seeing that they are not makin those colors on this run, I might wait. Or just get one and get it painted.

That's wonderful.
Next time, try posting a new thread instead of reviving one that's a year old.
EDIT: In all my infinite wisdom and in an attempt to make a newbie look like, well.... a newbie, I have again bumped this thread back to the top. Oh well.
doing that up right now, im new at this site as you can see
