After all that useful advice that you have provided, nobody even gives you the time of day when you post. What a shame. I, for one, am happy for you.

Personally, I'd trade that shock out for a wooden dowel or something so that it would be a more effective rigid, single speed 29er.

Now, do I feverishly slap it together before you get here . . . or ride 'tried-and-true' Blindside one last time? Hmmmm . . . ..

Fluidride Cup #1 in Whistler, end of May. Hope they use last year's Canadian Open course - - looked sick.

Either frame, we'll still have a ton of fun. But if you want to keep up with the Jones, you had better use the new frame. Pavel had his V10 recoated so it looks brand new and Daggett has a brand new Glory. But don't worry, I'll still have my crappy old V10.

be sure to put a playing card in the spokes to get that brap brap as you go. It's going to look wicked sharp if you keep with your white theme.

There will be some more white . . . and some gold this time. Stay tuned.

Y'know, craig, I'm >< this close to making real Brrrrraaaappp - - sticking my 125's engine back in my old Van Tech flat track frame and making it into a street-legal 'street-tracker.'

All that high-class hardwear - - including your "crappy old" V10 - - I guess I better step up and not be so PNW trailer trash, eh ?

I don't see what all the excitement is about. I can't see a single place to bolt on a cappuccino holder on that abomination.
