Nutting, just didn't know you had one, sorry for asking your highnass.
dude...I bought it from YOU


I just thought you were trying to razz me on the fact that I say "I don't like to run QR seatpost clamp" - which is true for DH/DS bikes...but not on my trail bike ;)

Any other Monkeys rippin it up on Hollowpoints like BB is?
There are a bunch of them around... I remember all the talk when people were working with IH to get the links replaced. Search the lounge and PM people - you might have better luck.

Humm...the only thing I have done to it since I weight it the last time was change the tires and tubes.

I used one of those hanging from the ceiling with a hook on it scales. Maybe I'll have to weigh it again.

How do you like that fork?

Okay, now I don't feel so bad. I was talking to Damon and I guess my Sun hubs are heavy compared to Hadley. I do have a pair of King hubs on order so maybe those will lighten up the bike a little!

Nope, never been there Stosh. I'd like to check it some day though. Actually, between a new kid and the winter, I barely ride at all anymore..... :help: :help: :help:

Do you ever come upstate?

Not that far up typically - Blue Mountain is my typical northern limit, although I've been known to go to Ninham or the 909 a couple of times in a season.

909 is further upstate than me or Mtn Creek, Mtn creek is in NJ..... :) 909 couldn't be closer than MTN creek for you.
