This is my DNA jump bike, it has been in the works for quite some time. It has 4130 wrap jump bars made by Chris at Thick bikes. I had to wait for the Odyssey Guacamole groupo to come out to get the team grips and Jim Cielencki pedals that match the green anodized bits. The fork is a lowered Argyle 302 sitting at 60mm; it feels super good.

NICE.
the guac groupo had me by surprise the first time i saw it...once i saw it with taht gold MDS, i was sold. looks good man.

to be honest, i think those bars are nasty...same with the stem.

beautiful bike. well done.
i really like the older dna's seatstay yoke.
and any part by thick is cool in my book.
plus you can cut them (the bars) down real narrow.
meanwhile the stem's drop counteracts the bar's rise.
and it (the stem) matches the fork quite well.
i can find nothing wrong with this bike.
again, beautiful, 11/10.:clapping:

I'm very impressed! Fresh guaco for sure.
How are those lowered Argyles working out for you? I've never tried one myself but word on the street (or the internet, rather) is that they are pretty stiff, so why would you lower them?:hmm:

I lowered the fork to get the stance of the bike to feel right. Without lowering the fork the front end was too high. It is a stiff fork right out of the box; the spring in it is the most heavy duty I have seen in a fork. It feels great lowered, very smooth feeling fork, Rock Shox seems to have that down pat.

man i am trying to decide if i want those pedals or not...i think i am going to go with trail kings but those are dope.
The pedals are kinda heavy, probably 100g/pair heavier than my Eastern pedals. I switch the pins around so that the longer pins are at the 4 corners, otherwise the grip isn't so good (which could be good for some types of riding).
