What I have noticed from taking it on a quick spin is that it's alot more reponsive than the Kona.
This is not a joke, my finished rocky.

Rip - what is that fork? And is that a chain tensioner with a cassette and multiple chainrings up front? 
Kick ass looking frame!

Looks like a 100mm black or maybe a scarab with the labels removed...MMcG said:Rip - what is that fork? And is that a chain tensioner with a cassette and multiple chainrings up front?

Ditto on the chain tensioner... what up with that?

I think this is a joke

Does it come in Rootbeer? 
I think your chain maybe a bit too long.
BUT, very nice looking ride, congrats
Edit: noticed a couple of other things. You might want to have a shop check over your build.

It's a manipoo Axel or Six.golgiaparatus said:
Or a Stance?golgiaparatus said:
I don't think so. They have Matte Black lowers, and beefier stanchions/lowers.McGRP01 said:
Why would one joke about finishing a bike build?

Nice catch! -S.S.-
Nice that was so wares waldo.stosh said:
Nah, stanctions/lowers aren't big enough.McGRP01 said:
I'm confused about the drivetrain, but other than that, looks nice.
You're right, the black stanchions caught my eye at first. Axel?blue said:
Rip, you need to mount the fire extinguisher to the frame, otherwise you are just a poser.
Manitous Axel and for the big ring up front, it's working as a bash until the real bash ring arrives. I should find a way to mount the fire extinguisher on the bike.MMcG said:Rip - what is that fork? And is that a chain tensioner with a cassette and multiple chainrings up front?

Remember the Kona is my Money pit.
Oh and with the cassette I am waiting for the conversion kit as well.
whats with the microwaves?
baah, I was close.blue said:
It's an axel read my reply.firetoole said:
How light is it now Rip? It'll be even lighter with the SS conversion kit I suspect.
Nice bike man.
Nice bike man.
Hey you got a set of those Maxxis $10 a set Tubeless tires !
Are you running them with or without sealant ?
Such a deal!

Whats to be confused about? Clearly its a SS and obviosuly he just took a triple equiped crankset and ran it. Might as well buy a cheapo bash or just remove the 44, but it requires a few minor parts to do. Nothing to be confused over though.
It's at 25 pounds right now. Will probably lighten it some more. Was going to run the strips with lubricant but the one tire strip was broken at the valve.
What kind of fork are you running?Rip said:
Yes I know, it an Axel. It's all I can afford for a fork right now.
The "higher level" ones actually aren't too bad, aside from the weight, they have TPC+ damping...Rip said:
I am going to get a different fork when I can afford one.
Read my replies damnit.
Dude, he asked a legit question. No need to get mad at him.Rip said:
BTW, what fork is it anyway? :devil:
