hmm very nice.

Did you use Swedish magic to hold it up while taking the photo?

 

[kajo]

thanks! You can do wonders with a finger and photoshop

 

[seismic]

Cool bike....will we see it in Vanga, Kristianstad ?

 

[kajo]

Yepp! I'll come to vånga either next sunday or the sunday after that to try it out where it belongs! Hope to see you in Åre too.

Farkin' A...that's nice. I believe your V10 and the black one posted awhile back are tied for the Santa Cruz sex factor award.

 

[ncrider]

Great! Now I have to clean off my monitor.

 

[rpk1988]

Haha. That is a very nice lookin bike. Santa Cruz is an awesome bike company.

[Salami]

Why do you say it is an 06?

wow thats funny

 

[ioscope]

correction

What'chyu talkin' 'bout Willis?

 

[kajo]

It's the WORKS modell of the 888rc 2005 work. The 2006 has orange/red details on the decals and the crown on the 06 looks to be less durable.

Dude, reading the thread would be spectacular. He clearly stated that he used photoshop.

Nice looking Bike man. Hey on your chainguide, rotate the guide so that the lower idler is closer to the bottom of the chainstay, and move your top slider so that it is closer to the chain. The bottom edge of the top slider should be totally behind the bashguard.

The graphic below may help.
If you have any questions, drop a line to support@e13components.com

Thanks!

Dave

Yeh.. The chains was falling off all the time and I've fixed it. I had to mod the guide to make it fit the diabolus crankset. I spaced out the pulley 3 mm to get perfect chainline (put 2 spacers between the pulley and the plastic thingy). Now this guide works perfect as my old STS guide! Don't know what you think about this changing durabillity but as I can see it doesn't.

But thanks for all the comments. I've got new pictures where you can see the bike better. Will upload them soon.


Can just say that the fork is awsome! Feels great and takes the big hits very well as the small ones. The rear shock isn't tuned perfectly yet so the bike is a bit too soft but as fast I've tuned everything I'll try it where it belongs and post a review on the frame!

 

[DROP]

sorry the new o6's have the drop crowns on standerd Im pretty sure and it threw me off sorry.

 

[***MTB***]

sweet bike man. Wish i can afford one.

 

[Killerbarbies]

love Santa Cruz's...and the darker the frame the better...

 

[RogerH]

Very nice bike, kajo! Looks fantastic!

Did you buy the fork from the US? Or are the Works forks available in europe, now?

I'm with Seismic, Hope to see it "live" in Vånga!

 

[kajo]

I bought it from US. The only place I have seen them except for us is italy.

Yeh, hope to see you in vånga. I visited my skatepark today and the bike feels awsome even there. Who said you can't pedalkick, spin, do abubacas with 10" of travel? But it jumps over the ramps like a dream! Love it! I'll post in action pics in an hour or two. Just have to get them from a friend.

 

[kajo]

One framegrab and one handed suicide. The other ones wheren't good enough to be published. I know I don't have helmet and protection but this day was just to cruise and relax day but I found this sweet jump and couldn't resist.

 

[Hungry_Hank]

nice mullet

 

[wood-dog]

Wow! How did you get the bike to stand up straight to take it's picture
