(reference to the instant turn off thread)
you need to murder out that red knob on the fork leg.
hub/spoke fail. anno those rotors too.
Are you gonna take it off some schweet jumps ?
Need to black out the logos/writing on the tires too
that thing is freaken sick..... wheres the fire extinguisher?
Wow... that took me a while to get that (coffee has not kicked in yet)
none more derp
Oh, I thought this thread was going to be about the day after AJ Burnett actually didn't suck and extended the Yanks-Tigers series.
But as it were, sick freakin bike. As for the bashguard, I think Shimano makes (or made) a black plastic one either for Saints or the old Hones. Also, KMC makes a black chain - do it...

2002 just got a boner.
JonKranked's 'white night' ride rides again as back in black!
stoked to see it still going strong

I dig it.
I thought this was about Rick Perry...
I think I have a black Evil guard Kickin around. the Evil logo may be kinda worn though.
Lemme look around tonight.

Except for the bashguard and maybe like the seat clamp or something, everything on there's a bunch newer than that.
frame itself was made in 2006. very low, very slack. ahead of its time.
DW would disagree
who said anything about dated? it wasnt really "ahead" of its time
i think he's talking about making bikes all black, circa 2002. 2007 was all white. 2012 is going to be ****ING LOUD AS HELL NEON EVERYTHING
looks good, dood. Get some black hubs, bubs, and you'll be a regular coal train. how do you like the derpdado?

How dare you bring a bike into the Lounge...
fvck yea!!!
Nice, and out of curiosity, what other bike had geo like that in 2006? I was pretty sure a Sunday had a similar BB height but was around 65* HA. I know the V-10 and Demos were taller and/or steeper. Hell, that thing is lower and slacker than my 2010 Tr450. A 12.9" BB seems super low for a DH bike, altho if memory serves, you prefer that set up.
I can't think of anything from back then that's quite as aggro.
I dig it, but if I'm totally honest it could be a *little* higher. It is 7.5" travel, so that makes it a little less silly, and the suspension does a great job of keeping the back end up in the travel and not wallowing badly so it works. I'm running 165mm cranks, and while I do hit pedals a bunch, I'm good at paying attention to where my feet are. The fact that I run clipless probably helps some. The plus side is that it corners like it's on rails. If I was going to build another one, I'd give it more like a 13.2" BB, make the head tube a little shorter, and that would be about it.
why did you clean the whole bike except the pivot/bb area? loos sick btw!
It is amazing how a low BB makes a bike just shred corners. I will sometimes throw XC tires on my DH bike and ride my little bandit trail and it's wild to experience the difference in cornering, umm, "confidence". And this is compared to my Spitfire, which is fairly low at 13.1" (160 mm fork, flush cup). Been thinking about getting a 140 or 150 fork to get it a little lower (and save a fair bit of weight).
Anyway, I hope you have a blacked out riding kit for race days.
