awsome. Hows running a road derailler and cassette?
Nice bike
wow...that thing looks brand new!!
Looks nice! Good work!
Looks great. Butch kept good care of it. Enjoy the ride!
Those SEI guys sell some killer bikes! Great looking ride!
Huge pic and cool ride !
That build looks similar to what mine will look like.
How much does yours weigh?

Good God... beautiful bike!
That bike honestly looks brand new... (at least in the pic) Is there a single scratch on that thing?

amazing, that is one sweet looking bike, i love the black
Holy crap, it looks like brand new. What is your bike cleaning solution, une fois ?
Beautiful bike...
...and thank you, THANK you, for buying it, so bizutch would get rid of that retarded, used-car-salesman-style signature of his...

Very nice bike! But that saddle dosen't really fit it 
Wow.. that really does look brand new. It's cool to see the '05 sticker kit (close enough anyways) in something other than a photo-shoot style pic. Looking very good! 
That is one very nice looking bike, very clean build!!
I just did a 1 time cleaning, I mean complete cleaning. I completely took it apart, every bolt, nut, washer, bearing was cleaned and/or greased and then put back together.
About the saddle, as I'm not sitting on it during DH runs I thought I might as well put a light weight on it and believe me they are quite strong as I also run them on my other bikes.

Damn... that looks hot. What seat is that- it looks uber-light. My new rig is all black too and looks rad.
The seat is a Selle Italia SLR Carbon Ti, it has titanium rails and basically is just a piece of carbon fiber covered with some leather, weighs 135 grams.
Don't have an exact weight on my bike yet, as I'm waiting for new cranks & pedals to arrive, weight will be something between 38 - 39 lbs.

40-41 maybe, but 38 - I doubt that very much.Animine said:
Should hopefully be a low 40lbs build.
Nice looking Turner though. Makes me want DHR
The ONLY thing I could gripe about it is that damm seat. I see lots with it and I know why, but I just can't stand to look at it. It's like back in the day when BMX guys used the UNI seat. It's just like........whoa

sweet ride man i really like what youve done with it.
i have one question though. will a road cassett still fit on the freewheel of a mtb hub such as a hadley or ck hub. i mean they were made to fit the smaller freewheels of the road bikes. your bike just got me thinking. thanks for the information and sweet ride man.

Are freewheel bodies different size for road and mtn? that would be a shock to me. i have had a lot of both and did not know that. i guess i never had issue. I know campy and the rest of the world have a different spline on theirs though.
That's like finding out that i'm actually a woman after all these years (although that would be more strange).
All shimano and SRAM 8 & 9 speed cassettes have the same interface. Campy is different. 7sp is different. The only difference between a mountian hub and a road hub is 5mm of width.me89 said:
I'm running a dura-ace cassette next year. It saves a lot of weight over the standard xt.
thank you...thank you! The sticker kit covered virtually every inch of the frame and is way more durable than the best paint, in my opinion. Plus, if your sticker kit gets gored up really bad or gouged, scuffed, etc. All you gotta do is just peel it off and slap on a new set. Those sticker kits cover every single flat exposed surface of the frameset. You have to see really up close photos to tell that. Plus, they are extra thick vinyl, the exact same comapny that makes Carey Hart's kits.
The only big negative is that this year they stiffed Turner and refused to make small runs of them and will only do big, big batches. So instead of the 3 Turner regional teams getting their own signature colors, everyone will be on the SEI kit for '05.
We are gonna have a harder time distinguishing our teams now...but the consumer doesn't have to sport TANG orange

Yeah, we were bummed about not getting custom stickers this year too (although you'll be able to tell ours apart this year) - but I agree that those stickers do a *great* job of protecting the frame.bizutch said:thank you...thank you!

Nice. Now I want the new stickers for my '04 DHR. Only thing less than perfect with my bike was the dodgy orange decal colour. Be interesting to see the final weight on your bike. I built mine up aiming for a sub 40lb weight and wound up @ 41.5lbs with a fairly durable component choice.
I would PM buildyourown as he appears to be heading towards building a sub 40lbs DHR w/o stupid-light components.toodles said:

Toodles, PM me with your emaill address and I'll send you a spreadsheet with my parts list. According to the spreadsheet, I should be sub 40 with margin for error.
Ofcourse.buildyourown said:
It's just funny to me 'cuz you're display Peter behavior from the pre-'04 season.
You take that back!ChainWhip said:Ofcourse.

LOL - ok ok...buildyourown said:You take that back!

Ain't got nut'n but love for da team bro.
Besides, I'm looking forward to seeing those Atlas cranks on your DH bike.
