new toy!
pimpin
is that outlet 110 or 220?
110 unfortunately....otherwise you'd see a millermatic 210 sitting in place of that bottlerocket 
i cant express how impressed i am with this bike
i feel sorry for all the owners that bought theirs painted, the raw finish absolutely makes the bike
completely unbeliveable how crazy the workmanship on this thing is

as it sits in the picture it weighs in at 38.1 lbs
as for changes.....i plan to lose the front shifter and der.
also, lighter tires, some real pedals and possibily the new holzfeller oct crank...not sure on that yet though
as for the fork, it is amazing. i am headin out now to get it tuned, but the ride home from the shop last night was a real eye-opening experience as far as fork ride quality and feel
ive got to say that this is one of the most amazingly constructed frames ive seen, the build quality is stunning....i feel sorry for anyone that bought this frame painted, the raw finish really makes the bike in my opinion

Dude what did you wrap your hydro hose in???Just updated my ToP for the 07 season. upgraded to 07 DJ2, new Arrow front wheel, new grips, new brake lever and best of all new seat.
What wrap exactly did you use? Im having trouble finding something I would use on my bike cables.
Yes it is and I am very happy with it :biggrin:!Is that Sorgie's old bike? Nice ride!!
When does yours arrive?
i was dreaming about my new BottleRocket so i decided to mess around with my program. just wanted to put it out there.

Jackson06 that is a nice T.O.P. simple, clean and oh so sweet.
Hahaha... I thought this was funny. My bike looks stolen after that other poster with the pic against the tree....
Back in the spring... right after it's first little ride. Then I was hurt all summer. New cranks...everything else is the same. Works great.

yeah it is...i'm thinking about getting a white trail and park or a soul loki or roscoe....both are great companies...you gotta think though, the trail and park frame are basically bmx frames, just trade out your fork and put in a suspension one er no?
sorry, your post was broken. i fixed it.
I actually agree with you.... I always think large size frames look funny. Why do you think I rode undersize bikes for so long? Actually, this bike/setup is the best FR bike I have owned. It's the more versatile than anything I've had before.
Do you still have the bullit? E-mail my work address sometime...
hey just to keep you Transition fans up to date, they are now offering 4 color options for the TBC Revolutions wheels. Black, White, Red and Brown. available in about 2 weeks.

mike.rider dude nice rigs, i love seeing a truck all loaded up with bikes, especially one from my favorite company. right on bro.
thanks man you should see it on shuttle days my best is nine transitions and a norco all on my truck, good times!
Here's my Bottlerocket. Still waitin on a 36, but the Pike actually does the job well.
those look suspiciously like a drop to flat and a jump to flat you have your br propped on. 
lthumbsdown: you wouldn't do that to a transition would you?

sick bottlerocket.
i love the green and gold combo.
i liked my bottlerocket with a pike. it is plenty of fork for most rides. unless you do some crazy dh/huck/jump stuff, i would say stick with the pike. i bought my 36Van first, then tried the pike later. if i had tried the pike first, i might have passed on the 36.

Yea, there's a tranny we built behind the jump that you can't see in the pic. I would never disgrace the Bottlerocket with a drop or a jump to flat. About the Pike - I just got a Sovereign that I'll probably throw the Pike on, so I'll need to get something new for the Transition (which is where the 36 comes into play).
consider a Talas (or another shock with travel adjust like a domain/lyrik) as you may find, as i did, that in some situations the shorter front end feels better.
