Before I go for a ride I have the choice of these three XC bikes.

Giant AC Air (stock)
Santa Cruz Superlight (pimped out)
'97 Litespeed Ocoee (spare parts)

The Superlight usualy gets the call.

me too:

It's really a kingkikapu, 2001. The gal I bought it from had to get the blue mokomoko frame ( same frame as the KK, different color) because when she ordered it they were all out of the other ones.

Hay nice bike. I got one too built it up from a frame with some different stuff then you. So how do you like it? I love mine the dam thing is a tank. I beat the hell out of it and it comes back for more. Cool to see another FXT pro.

I really like mine as well. It's nice because it has enough travel that I can do some light freeriding (which I do when I'm at school) but still be able to do xc. It's a pretty versatile frame. I haven't gotten to test the strength too much yet, since I was running 24-spoke xc wheels up until last week. But it definitely seems strong.

Schweet Kona's Douglas and Geargrrl, I had an '02 King Kikapu for a few months last year, it was one really nice riding bike, but I'm just not cut out to ride a full suspension so I sold it and went back to all hardtails.

O I have tested its strength. I’m running XT disc hubs with sun single track rims. I had a 40mph get off last month that broke my back and did nothing to my KHS I’m telling you this bike is a tank. I say it passes my trash test.

My 2002 Titus Loco Moto soon to have a 2004 front triangle and some x3.1 rims. I'll probably get an SPV Swinger 4-way for her too in spring. Once you go black....

This is my ride right now... Going to do a full re-build this month with a paint job, I'll post new pics then when it's done.

Cool - you got the Blur. I have the same thing (still need to get a pic on here...) - I'll let you know next time I'm up in SB, or maybe SLO. You in shape yet?
