Hey guys I know its been a while since I last posted about this. I finally got the bike together for my trip to Downieville this weekend for my first ride back on the downhill bike. Check out the new pictures! I can't wait!

(Sorry for the bad pictures)
How it used to look:




Ok, now for the bike porn (atleast for me) =]











Little re-cap of new things:
-New bearings and bushings
-Fox 40 RC2's with firm spring
-New paint job for frame and forks
-New chain ring, chain, etc.
-New 550 rear spring

Things to come:
-New cranks / bottom bracket
-Putting on my new wheelset (I had to send my rear wheel back because they sent me the wrong size)

I am so excited. Finally my bike isnt a total beater. =]

Black - you just can't go wrong with it...:biggrin:

Once you get some stickers on the frame and fork, your ride is gonna look really bad-ass.

Nice work - and nice build.

Yeah if you're sponsored stickers would look cool,if not then represent nothin.Don't billboard it,it looks good. Get a little red pinstripe or some flames going if you feel the need to jazz it up a bit.

I think I am going to run the new 40 sticker kit on the fork. I have a couple ideas in mind for frame stickers. I'm not going with anything you guys have seen before. =]

I'm really bummed I dont have the new wheelset on it right now. But there really isnt anything I can do.

Thanks a bunch for the comments guys! Keep them coming!

What, no Dethklok sticker?:disgust:
Sick lookin ride dude.
Hahaha

One sneak peak of stickers to come... I am thinking about putting the [Brutal] on there somewhere. =] You know, because its brutal. =P

I really think the red and black ended up looking perfect. I'm so stoked to ride this weekend at Downieville.
