Here are some pics of my Sinister DNA street bike. The frame is 04 model, my favorite year for the DNA.

The rims are made by HED.

Fork or seat I'd guess.

Looks sweet! Why's that year your favorite?

That's smoooooth! I love the silver. What's different about the DNA from year to year?

My guess is the geometry. For 05 they got a lot slacker and heavier and became more of a DS race bike. The 04's also have really low profile dropouts.

Yep, geometry is different. I also like the machined seatstay and chainstay yolks on this one.

The seat is a DMR expert seat, I was never really into the big fat dj seats.
The shiver is the 100mm version, I put x-firm springs, heavier wt oil and more oil volume in it to get it feeling good.
