BB, nice! You gonna hang on to the Buzz Bomb?
Is that one of the low pressure forks? I ride a high-pressure CX-1 on my Buzz Bomb, and had my first ride on the low-pressure BW 1.0 last weekend. Blissfully responsive.

Hey Nate! How's it going? Yeah, I'm in the process of turning the Buzzbomb into a gearie, I'll be posting the transplantation pics over on the 29er board when it's finished. I have to post the Dean buildup over there in the AM. I'm buying a new house right now, and the money I had set aside for a .8 is going into sod and sprinklers instead. Next year I'll retire the CX-1 as a spare or put it on the 'bomb when I'm riding it offroad and put the .8 on. Compromise sucks, eh? RobW

Unfortunate choice of thread title. I hope there's no choir of angels, it is, after all, only a bike.

Wow, that's pretty damn light. I hovering at 31 with my Buzz bomb, but that includes a Thudbuster, bar ends, Shimano SPDs... oh, and NOT a Dean Ti frame!!!
