Man, thats nice. Make the changes... and send it to me I'll take it off your hands.

On an unrelated note finally got my new SS together. Cross post from the SSFG forum but I'm a proud new daddy so bah-ish. Its not been in the dirt yet but you can tell its gagging for it.

Well, I am selling it soon because we're changing sponsors... pm me if you're interested


Cool single! How do you like those bars? I have a buddy who makes some that are similar and races them with a lot of success.
I've wanted to build one up for a while but don't have the cash. At this point I'm so used to the Yeti that I don't think I could go back to a 26" hardtail...

Using a Canon 30d, but that wasn't exactly a photo shoot. I just sprayed the bike, ran inside grabbed the camera, and took a few quick shots.

Would love to take it off your hands but its just not going to happen. Have spent waaaaayyy more on bikes lately than I should. Maybe I'll get something similar as a grad present for myself when I finish uni... but thats 3 years away

The bars are freakin weird but I"m starting to get used to them. I'd never ridden anything with such sweep on it before and I gotta say I like it a lot. I only picked it up from the LBS yesterday so I've not had a chance to take it on the trails, but did a ride yesterday on the street and through some parks and it felt good. Worth trying out I reckon.

The fork is great. I'd been lusting after something like that for ages and now its mine all mine

I'm a clyde sized rider and was worried about having a CF fork, but once it turned up and I could see it up close I realised how overbuilt the thing is so now I'm not worried at all.

It has street tires on it in this picture, but this is my main mountain bike. It's a 95-ish KHS. The only thing I don't like about it is the dainty 1" steerer. Yes, 1 inch!

I'm not so big on the "20-spoke wonder" up there, but the KHS and the Soma are tits. My step momma has that same KHS, I believe. Good golly are those cool old bikes. Did yours come with anodized everything, too?

Well, I take that back. It looks cool. But build yourself a pair of fully-spoked wheels, for goodness's sake.
