For a guy with a hidden track, you're not exactly going to blend into the local fauna anymore.
But I definitely like the color scheme you're establishing.Post Your Morewoods!

But I definitely like the color scheme you're establishing.kinda looks tall compared to the older ones, they change anything? maybe just the shock mount
good choice the trans red is sick.
It will be worth the wait was out on mine today for the 3rd time and its awesome
I've been thinking the same thing but I think its just the new shock mount that puts the piggyback on top instead of on the bottom. I'm sure mine's gonna look sick in person either way!
The build looks sick and I know you will be happy with it. It was a very fun bike to own!!!!

DJColdwater - Great build!!!! Nice looking bike!
Is that your old frame Toby?
Yes it is.
Thought so! Enjoy! Great looking build.
Hey Nicho
Just out the backyard
I will have it out this weekend for the first time. It's like waiting for Christmas to come when I was 6. Will have you a full report come Monday.

Still running my 2008 Izimu, with a few upgrades for this year.
Does your rear wheel hit the seat tube on bottom out, with the shock shuttle in the forward position?
On my large 2008 Izimu this happens at 190mm/7.5" in travel.

Yeah it does on really hard hits, but not often. Most of the time I rock it in the middle position, I like the quick snappy handling and not-so-low bb height so I can pedal.
I'm riding it in the middle position, but with headangle reducer cups installed.
Feels a bit different from riding the bike with standard headset cups and shock shuttle in the slack setting.
In combination with the pushed Roco it is hard to jump, but it's stable as hell when going fast through the rough stuff.
Btw. Nice build!

Trying to rid my bike of white. At some point the frame will be getting a respray.

Awesome. I really want to get some Opiums for my Izimu. Between the wheels and losing tubes they would drop over 2 lbs from the bike.
Morewoods are SICK..never gotten the chance to ride one tho
Just built this thing up yesterday. Soon to look much different after it gets a new paintjob.
Does the DB matter performance-wise how you mount it? I've got the same frame and shock but I have mine mounted with the reservoir at the front.
Is than an ST or LT?
Its the one with 5.7" travel. I don't think they do the ST and LT stuff anymore, just one model of the Shova. Kenan, I wouldn't think it would matter at all. Mine just came with the hardware already mounted on the shock in that orientation, so I didn't it like that.
Yep the LT because the Zuza. Thanks Mike.
In theory it does matter. Unsprung weight versus sprung weight. If I remember my vehicle dynamics course correctly.
Right. The swingarm is lifting the resi end (heavy end) every time the suspension cycles.
So the reservoir should be at the front?
Ideally, yes. In the front connected to the front triangle not the swingarm.
My favorite Morewood.
Yep. I wanted that frame since the first time I saw it from Sea Otter last year. That is the most badass color.Ideally, yes. In the front connected to the front triangle not the swingarm.

Haven't put it on a scale but I would guess its about 32lbs+... Keep in mind it has a mini CCDB with steel spring and a pretty solid wheelset.
Full suspension Ndiza in a BMX start gate is badass!
Its the most fun frame I have ever ridden. From AM, XC, DJ and smooth DH it is a blast. As you probably already figured out (based on the Sea Otter comment) this is Gerrit's old frame. I really like the color too.
I do miss my white 2008 Ndiza though, that bike was sharp.
Note: The Fox RP23 was flipped after this photo to reduce the sprung weight, as discussed earlier with the CCDB.
Yep. I tried to get it from him for free 
but he was all selfish and wanted to sell it.

The seat tube length was my one gripe with the Ndiza. I loved mine but I wish I could have done a bit of trail riding on it. I would get another one if the large had a little longer seat tube.
