I think you need to ship that to me so I can check it for quality assurance. I mean look the yellow doesn't match in every picture... there is deffinately a problem there...
Trust me I'll take care of it for you!

I agree with binary visions what's the build look like?

Dammit! Same frame and color I'm getting, but apparently mine isn't in yet. :angry: Well, I have until Saturday, that's when it will matter...when I get home to MA.
Those frame mount holes remind me.. Wonder when we'll see the frame mounted grind plates??
Whoa! what box is that?! The real box must have gotten destroyed in shipping and UPS re-boxed it I guess??! Crazy!
Im psyched for you Jay, been talking about this one for a long time! That metallic yellow is looking hot too, good choice. Have fun!

DW, is that a speed hole on the non drive side dropout, or part of the grind plate mount?
Its BOTH!!
haha
speed holes
Actually, that hole is on every Imperial since day 1. Originally we planned to offer bolt-on dropout kits that would let you keep the same geometry with 24 inch wheels. We also wanted to make a bolt-on grind guard for the dropout. Decided to go all the way and make the bolt ons like we had on the Imperial Alpha prototye frames and Seths 2002.9 14mm prototype, so we never made the kits.

Got my Evil about two weeks ago (Gloss brown w/ yellow graphics :love: )
The evil site says the grind plates are available "June 2004"
I was going to say - that looks like weird bike frame box.
That frame looks sweet! You'll definitey be easily spotted while ripping it up on that Imperial Jay.
I'll be another to chime in and ask what the build up will look like.
Sweet! I think the gloss Brown is pretty hot looking too. All of the colors came out sweet, I have to say.
Im hoping earlier on the grind plates, but our laser cutter has flaked out on me lately, so we need to find a new manufacturer. We'll update the site when we get them in though.

Dave, have all frames shipped? I'm going insane ever since my last one was stolen!
I'm gonna have to take a look at mine when I get home... I remember a small hole, but it wasn't nearly that big.Originally posted by dw

Anyway, if there's one thing I always said about my Imperial is that I wish it had speed holes...
No no no... that's a job for a dremel if I've ever heard of one!
that frame is pimpastic...
build will be pretty close to my old minuteman:
frame: imperial (duh)
fork: either a 2001 z.3 or a 2003 sherman flick
handlebar: easton ea70
stem: atomlab
brakes: hayes 6" hydros
cranks: fsa v-drive extremes or on-one retards
chainguide: e13
shifter: sram x7 trigger
derailleur: sram
wheels: XT/rhyno lite front and XT/ex721 rear
tires: hot s front(but with DH compound) and michelin comp 15 rear
headset: e13 reducer cups and matching FSA headset(that fedex lost)
grips: ODI S&M lock-ons
think that about covers it

No no no, I want over-engineered, FEA speedholes. I want to know that I have the strongest, lightest speedholes around. I want my speedholes precision machined to 0.0001" tolerances.Originally posted by dw
Easy to do with a pick axe or firearms!!
THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.
