Crispy!!!
Update on how it rides!
Looks bad @$$!
Thats opposite of me, after racing a 66 RC3 on both the F1 and Jedi the feel was so much more accurate and fun. The bike felt alive.
I have ridden My fork on two different bikes, and Mine, is an 1 1/8 steerer, the other was a 1.5 And seriously on the 66, you CANNOT notice a stiffness difference. I love my SC fork, I will be rebuilding it again here in a few weks, going to be replacing the lowers this time. Some Nice gouges in places I dont feel comfortable having.
Well it may be that mine was the 35mm stanchions and 1-1/8 steer 2006 so in stiffness it was close to my old boxxer (pre-2005) but no stiffer.
My 66 was "Works" tunned fork, already said that i have to comment that the fox 36 van i rode for a couple of DH runs in a friend's SX trail felt way lighter and stiffer than my 66.
I will love to ride one of the new 38mm (is that right?) 66's with a 1,5 steertube to compare the lateral rigidity.
Here is my Turner Highline with 66 RC3.
wow, nice rig.Here is my Turner Highline with 66 RC3.
noticed you were from Pburgh, where do you normally ride that thing? I'm in Mo-Town, love to get together for some riding sometime, weather permitting.
My beater...
Old, tired, ridden hard, but still goes where I point it. The only thing that is original are the derailleurs and seatpost.

My Nomad. Pretty stoked on it so far.
Yeah theres a differnece between the 2 in stifness and accuracy on railing it. Not that the 35s were bad they weren at all, I loved the 888s with the 35s but 38 is definently a difference.
Either way a fork is a fork and as long as you like it be it a manitou, fox etc... riding is riding! :thunb:
Bet you wouldn't have seen this set up before!
Classic Turner DHR (2002) with Avalanche DHS shock, 2008 Marzocchi 66RC3's (sorted after many problems!) 180mm up front and rear.
Juicy 7's
Deetrax
Sweet!!!
What do you think?

I have not seen this set up anywhere! Nice look, hows it ride!
The Turner rode sweet! I don't have it anymore as it cracked in a couple places, i absolutely loved it though. I do wish i had kept the fox van 36's i had though, those '08 marz' were the worst forks ever! Out of the box they had 1cm of play in the lowers!
Here's Mine:

You got a new Helmet!!!! No D2 anymore?Here's Mine:

Must have been an early 08 version, as the new off the line products definently had some issues!
Here's Mine:
Sick bike. Seriously, I like the mix of parts and overall look. Bet it rides
Transformed from a 10", like a sofa handling bike, to a quick, fun, and relatively light bike (currently sitting at around 41-42lbs, with 2ply tires and heavy kenda DH tubes): '04 Azonic Recoil with 7" front/7.7" rear travel, old and ridden hard but still going strong.
That's awesome. A super burly FR bike. Steep and progressive with a reasonable BB height. I loved my '02 DHR as a hucker bike and would still consider one set up like yours if I was still riding like that. Right now I have no use for a 13 pound frame though so the RFX fits the bill better.What do you think?
Nice setup, I like it very much!
Bike rides amazing. Keep thinking I'll get a true DH bike with a dual crown fork and then I go for a ride and the bike just amazes me. Not as light as you would think at 38 lbs, but i have code brakes, heavy tires and tubes, and a coil fork and like it that way:biggrin:Sick bike. Seriously, I like the mix of parts and overall look. Bet it rides
FClinder - Sold that helmet in the pic and I still have the D2
Nice BR! Dig the decals.
THe specialized SX above that has a sweet build and looks NICE! I like that bike and If I were to build a smaller DJ/Slopestyle I think it would either be a BR or the SX trail. Ive seen those things in action and they rail!!!!!!!

Thats mine.... Now different wheels, brakes, and headset. White syncros dps32 rims with hope hubs, codes with red strait line levers and a red 1.5 conversion chris king headset. When I can ill get a pic from the side.

Thanks. I normally ride at Seven Springs, Wisp, Diablo, Snowshoe. I occasionally take it for a trail ride if I'm feeling particularly freeridey that day.
Where is Mo-Town? I'm not sure how much more riding can be had this year, but I'd definitely meet up at some point.
Looks like the road gap at Wisp to me.
