"They look like normal bikes with 26" wheels!"

I liked the others too, but this is definitely my favourite.

One of the nicest yet most subtle builds on the forum. Chapeau.

Get your sus forks lowers done too! Quick there's still time...

Ha, I did discuss this with Matt, but I'm still not 100% on using them on this bike yet and would want to test them out first.

subtle

Until I put the Thudbuster back on ;-)

Fuck yes.

Could have at least swapped the thudbuster out for the photos though...

Looks evil

I believe the kids would call that 'rowdy'.

That paint is something else, very nice! Is there a reason you chose two different tyres?

Sorry, #rowdy

I'm going to go for tradition:

Briefly thought about it, but nah.

Faster out back, grippier up front. Just what I'm used to really :-)

Thudbuster ain't even that bad, but why you saint cranks??

why you saint cranks??

Same reason as the Easton Havoc DH stem really. I like the extra security of overbuilt things. I think I'd seen a couple of photos of snapped XT axles, so decided that 150g extra wasn't worth worrying about.

I do also like the look of them and that they're SS specific.

Fantastic paint. The bike as a whole makes me think of an elk or a moose or something. (its a compliment)
