got it!

it's not pretty (yet), the raw aluminum is a little dull and dirty from a season of use, but the frame is in remarkably good condition.



check out the reinforced headtube gussets.. total beef!


Frank's weld work is really something else


next step is disassembly and shipping the front triangle off for a fresh powder coat!
more pics when i get it back!

What! Thats my best side! :D
No pics of the cougar, the other guys up there had the camera on the run before the sighting. apparently another group has seen the cougar before (recently) in the same spot. So it looks like that it frequents the rock spot.
Hey go ride with us and Ill show you a great rock to go Pee behind!!!!! Ill point it out and you can go on over...

Isnt that freds old r9?
Nice ride, your going to loveit!!!!!!
I chose the F1 over the R9 and rotec, not an easy decision as they are all 3 worthy bikes.
Can't wait to see it, what color?
Oh and congrats :thumb:
Thanks bully!

that is indeed Fred's old R9. I am just a little undecided on the color, but I think it might end up being either a gunmetal gray, or a matte wrinkle black. Nothing too bling for me :)

cheers.

That R9 looks sick. Just polish that bad boy up and leave it raw!
Webb was fun today but the overnight rain kinda rutted out some sections. We are planning on an all day Webb session next sat with some helmet cams and photogs. May also try to bring a shovel and do some work. A berm at that last right hander before that booster would be sweetness.

Here's the problem, my wife doesn't know about this. I really can't unveil the new ride until I sell the AS-X.

So if you guys know anyone who needs a bike let me know. I'll cut them a killer deal.
Simple solution.

Store the ASX at a buddies house until it sells but tell wifey its already sold.

I kid I kid, in no way do I condone lying to the significant other...unless necessary.:brows:

AAAHHHH HAHAHAHAHA! Its not just me. I'll fight 2-3 guys and stab em in the neck with a bic pen (home made tracheotomy :D) but I fear telling my wife I bought bike stuff!!!!!!!

But I did tell her this time that I have a Foes and a Jedi on the way in as well. She already knows about my stash of bike parts so she knows I have enough to build both up pimp.


OK Boys and Girls, Ill be at Fontucky tomorrow hammering around for a bit at 12 noon till 4pm, any takers Ill be there with some of the STR crowd.
