no, for one, they no longer are running by model years, sort of like santa cruz. and since they just tweaked it this past fall I doubt they will re-do it that fast.

luv the gold hardware. how u feel about the 55? bullit21 just loaded his with a 55 and likes it.
my transition trail-or-park. new wheelset soon to come...
brown and green kick ass together. like an Andes mint
its perfect, the jumps feels awesome, the fork semi lock out its great, reduce the travel for some dual slalom courses, or full travel for DH, Im taking the bike like it is now, to Snowshoe for some real Dh. its a great bike love it!!!
and.... Today!!! just got in my wife's Covert, a Marzocchi XC700ATA on front, and a Fox RP23 on the back, it will have some Inine wheels as soon I get some more cash, its going to be awesome here some pics of today...
I have been riding my roommates TOP the past few days since he broke his foot and today I decided to add another Transition to my lineup. Threw down on a Raw TOP, should be here in a week or so. It should compliment my blindside nicely. Now only if I would sell my Moment and replace it with a Covert I would have a nice family myself.
its such a beauty, then i seen that guide and it makes me twitch. something that beautiful deserves a better guide, lg-1 that betch.It had it's own thread, but I'll post it here too.
Hey, it works. Plus it was more an economic(1/3 the price) decision that led me to that guide.
that blindside is a mean looking machine.
Damn, that's hawt. Is that green pivot hardware I see?
Inine wheels, green brake lines too? thats sick the only thing missing is a CCDB
Oh snap! Tell hev to heal up quick eh? Nice on the TOP order M...my BS is about ready for final build-up
Slowly building up the Vagrant while parts trickle in ;-)
Sneak pics:
The purple is so kewl it totally upsets my camera's whitebalance
I have to say, very nice quality welding and painting as far as I can tell, stickers are a bit nasty but I'm quite stoked, hope she rides as well as she looks !

that purple rulez.
Roughly how much are your bottlerockets weighing in at? I'm thinking about getting a short travel bike for local races and all mountain riding and am weighing out my options. So right now i'm thinking about an enduro/sx trail (a friend has an sx trail weighing in at 33lbs) but i know a whole lot of people are in LoVe with their BRs. I'm basically getting ideas right now so i can see how hard i need to work this $ummer.
all depends on how much money you want to spend. I have seen BR's any where from 33 - 45 lbs. the majority of them build up between 37 and 41 depending on fork and shock. mine is sitting right around 37 with a fox 36 and dhx coil, tbc wheels diablos cranks bar and stem. not the lightest parts but the bike rides great.
had mine anywhere from 39 to 43 depending on tires, wheels, and fork. bullit21 has his close to 35 w/ an air55 and air roco.
I have my rocket at about 38lbs,
dhx air
66sl
hope hubs with 823's with maxxis ust tyres,
wellgo mg1 pedals
gravity carbon bars

cool, thanks for the info guys. Sweet burly bikes i might add.
Anyone heard specifics on actual availability dates?
for which frame?
Medium blindside and small bottlerocket, at this point, color is not really a problem/concern
bottle rockets should be in stock now, and blindsides are on the water from Taiwan. so mid to late April for those. I would preorder a BS if you want them, I know a lot of them are sold already. like the syrens they will pretty much be sold out before they get here.
I was told call back in three weeks about my BR, but they didnt know about availability
Yeah, talked to Cam today, end of the month. I have had mine on order for a while and he said both my frames will ship out immediately upon receipt by them. They are on their stuff, just waiting on the boat.

I don't allow my bike to take glamor shots.
This bike has done nothing but treat me well. I've had it built up since I got the frame second hand in late feb. and I have yet to see any signs of it wanting to slow it down. It flows down the techy DH trails around here, as long as I choose a good line; it flies through the air with ease, as long as I have the balls to begin with. Oh yeah, and it also pedals uphill a couple miles every ride, too. The lockout on my roco tst-r makes the bike climb unbelievably well for what it is. I wuggles my bike.
