Better yet is that an 08 in red? Very snazzy.
There's my new to me '07 izimu. New fork is in the plans for '09 but this 180mm Travis has treated me pretty well so far.

It's actually an '07. I know the pics suck, but I am a lame photographer! My only gripe about the bike is that, even for a 'large' size frame, it's actually pretty small for somewhat tall guy like me (6'0). It makes the bike super manoeuvrable and way easy to jump and throw around.

I have the same gripe with my Ndiza, it's large and I'm 6' 1" and I feel like a clown on it. I love it though!
Yeah, it's pretty much used for everything except xc riding (can't get proper leg extension on it). Most of the stuff I do on it is DJ's, bombing down 1min downhills, 4x, slalom (but there isn't that much available here to do *exactly* that, not even one race... except the Bromont and Ste-Anne world cups). It serves its purpose really well, tough I'd like to use it on a real dual or 4x course.
Hmmm... I thought that the 07 didn't have cable guides on the down tube, or the seat tube gusset.

Umm, maybe you're right about that. The frame was actually owned before me by a guy racing 4x for the Lama Cycles racing team in Québec. Soo, I know they got their frames directly from Morewood (hence the custom red color). Maybe it's an 07 with a couple of the 08 features on it.
Heres mine I have been riding it about a year now.

How's that shoulder doing?
how does the izimu ride with the avy?
It was oversprung and over damped at 1st (was running a 450 and i'm 190).
Finally got it running sweet with less valving and a 350 spring.
For the record i have ridden other izimu's with a DHX and profro's which has a CCDB.
I would love to try a Vivid of course but this shock is burly and tough.
What kills me is the set ups guys are posting as they seem WAY too stiff.
That bike sucks, it's not gold!
Thought I would post up some sneak peak images of the New Makulu DH bike....
thought this should be my first post...
here's my bitch:
Here's a photo of one of our models posing with mine:
Ndiza HT, sort of rare
Here I am doing an unplanned dismount off of mine:
Fly fatass Fly!
And here it is last winter with its blue tires:

I should have taken some pics for you guys when i was at the factory on friday. After riding the makulu throughout its developement starting in early 07 up until the final test bikes that patrick and fabien rode this year, i have come to the conclusion that it is the best bike i have ever ridden. Im sooo envious of all you guys that will be getting one.
finally took the time to upload some photos. I love this thing, I run it stiff and it just goes faster and faster.
Mike the bike looks great man!!!!!finally took the time to upload some photos. I love this thing, I run it stiff and it just goes faster and faster.
Ditto, Mike that Izimu is so nice. How are you liking the Mich 24/16 combo? are you running them tubeless? Have you ever weighed your Izimu?
I was running mine really stiff to begin with and found that although it feels slower, running it plush carries more speed through the really rough stuff. To each their own though. You're probably a hell of a lot faster than me anyway.

Thats actually a 32/16 combo pictured. I had it tubeless and its an awesome setup for monster trucking race courses. Right now its got a 2.5 DH16 in front and a 2.2 DH16 in the rear, full tubeless and I'm diggin it.
here is my 08 izimu, soon i will build a ndiza.

heh, I was wondering when you wouldn't be able to stand it anymore and would have to pimp yours.
