well it hasnt seen any real dirt yet but it seems to pedal pretty well for a big bike, feels very stiff. very nice longish cockpit which I like and good standover.

I am uncertain about the wheelbase...it didnt feel overly long. chainstays are a bit longer...17.5 I think so the front end it a bit tougher to get up but nothing bad.

I am going to the mountains this coming weekend so will see how it fares then. :D

coolest thing about his Bike's (other than hand built works of art)is what's called the "Fred"...the shop owner of ProBikes here in Asheville suggested it...those bumpstops for the fork built into the frame....way, way COOL and simple!

I would have planned to go up Sat but I forgot Bromont opened so early! I was thinking end of May same as Tenny.

I think we are going up some time in June this year. We have been doing DH runs for a couple of weeks now:devil: PM me if you are interested in some shuttle runs........

Someone needs to print up some
"Spooky Lives!" stickers for those.

It's great to see Frank still making bad-arse bikes like that. Enjoy the heck out of that thing!

Man, I like the looks of that rig. The built in bump stops are cool. Very nice work, I need to check one out in person.

Dope bike, I think the orange is pimp, too. What kind of tires are you running? They look like WTB Timberwolf's, but wasn't sure.
