Pics or no pics, but at least a CONFIRMED build list, not a wish list. This is not a thread to impress people with what you can dream up on paper.

Just wondering what people are racing on this coming season as there are some incredible rides and gear out or coming out soon for '09.

I don't have pics of the 303R until March but here is the build list and it is confirmed, just waiting for parts to ship and/or arrive.

Look out for the specs, review and pics on sicklines.com within a month though!!!

UPDATE: Teaser shot since I was bored in my studio. More pics and some sick outdoor shots this week, pay attention to www.sicklines.com for more pics and info.

I'll be racing the same frame as 2007 & 2008.
My trusty 2006 Cove Shocker.

I hope to get one of the new Boxxer Teams and I've got some new bits on order ;)
I picked up the new Shimano SLX 11-28 cassette yesterday
New Saint rear der and shifter are on order, new bearings for the Saint cranks as well.

rest of the kit:
FSA pig headset
Sunline V1 lowrise bars
Avid Juicy 7's w/ 203 rotors.
Hadley 32h on Mavic 729's w/ Stans strips.
Race Face Dues XC post.
Saint 170's with an LG1.

My current build is 43lbs, probably loose a pound on the Boxxer Team switch from the old '05 888 RC.

First proper DH bike for me. Not bling as spec list but it's decent. Should be much faster than the Reign I've been bashing around for DH, XC and everything in between. Mostly new bits on a year old frame frame.

Morewood Izimu 07/08 (not sure) w/DHX
Boxxer Teams with new everything except lower (WC lowers for better posing, thanks udi)
Pro II on MTX
Minions (I'm Aussie :redface:)
X9, Hone cranks
Juicy 7s
DX clipless

Can't be stuffed listing all the little stuff.

Frame comes next week! :biggrin:

I think I'll be on my 05 DHi, again! Pretty light build (36lb-ish with dual ply maxxis and no air shock/fork), but aching to get something new....

Mostly same bike I was on last year. Got a new shock and I'll probably get new tires before the season starts. The bike's a bit beat (missing tons of "paint" or whatever is on there, pedals missing cages, cranks are bent) but it's still going.

9x2.75 Roco WC (used, but new to me)

Sunn Radical same as last year with a few upgrades. Ti spring and saint brakes. Other than that pretty much unchanged from the pics. It took me so long to get used to it last year. I dare not change it and spend another half year trying to get on the pace. So rocking it for another year.

05 sunday, all second hand parts, clapped completely out. might replace my gushing enduro fork seals.....not having a front brake is getting kinda old. might wash it before race season too, we'll see.
