Thats my trump card!!

So who won??

Shot MTB kid, we think on the same levels. A new fork is huge $$$ A2Z hubs aint cheap either and neither are the rims. But if i can then i will. I am using tape not strip and im definatly going to be dropping those UST tyres for some normal 1s.

Tokenfreak sells spinner but they are very pricey!!!!!!!!!!! that fork is like 11k.

hahahahaha iv found a solution to this, swop my UST tyres to the karma SWS, saves over 450grams! Can save 60 grams if i get a tune speedneedle saddle. can save another 350grams if i get that spinner fork. Thats 860grams. Im getting a program to build this frame under 9kgs from somebody who know what they are doing and they do it well. I know i can save a KG quite easily now Wehn iv paid enough for the new frame there is no way i will ever strip the paint. Forget that idea.

Uh no, i still want it to look nice... Paint stripper will not work here dude. What spinner fork are you talking about?

hahahaha guys im using this as a race bike so cant use v-brakes etc.

ok no nothing stupid like that agteros... must still be useable

Ok iv got the KCNC quick releases. and carbon cages dont work on a mtb

hahahahaha its more that im really trying to get it under 10kgs. To prove it can be done on a budget. Iv only spent 16k on this baby so far

Ok my MTB is 10.2kgs right now race ready, id like to get it under 10kgs. The components are as follows: Frame- Rocky mountain vertex 70 18" fork - Fox F100RL Hubs - DT swiss 240 front and rear 6 bolt spokes - DT swiss revolution (i think) Rims - Stans F355 tyres - Kenda Karma UST (2.1 front and 1.9 rear) Rotors - Alligator 160mm (100grams each) bolts - A2Z blue water bottle bolts Brakes - Formula K18 Handel bars - KCNC SC bone Stem - KCNC SC-wing Seat post - KCNC Ti-pro light saddle - spez toupe Shifters - Sram X0 gripshift grips - foam FD - sram X9 BB - Aerozine crank - Shimano XT M760 with KCNC bolts RD - Sram X9 with KCNC jockey wheels Cassette - Sram pg990 chain - sram Pg970

I think under our names and photo we should have a star rating system like they do on ebay

People iv delt with: Markelf Andrewbell eddie intern Sammajoor dylankeyter joss wallee yeboab carbon911 ridley and a few i cant recall. All were delt with 100% We need a rating system for this type of thingsingletrackmind2009-03-27 05:26:30

well then again id never buy a carbon frame either. Real men ride metal bikes not plastic.

Can tell you one thing, i dont care who rides specialized, il never buy one myself.

Got it from Team Jeep, specialized sponsor them now days but he got it 3 years back. Have proof of purchase and all.

My mate had the same thing with his rubaix, it cracked under the BB. They wont replace it...

kevin evans has them in black and puke green DG has them in black.... They dont look nice at all.. il keep my adidas thank you very much

all the top riders have them. Thor has been using them for over a year now.

so what advice do you want?

Il vote for myself Im always on the HUB, always helping people out that need advice and i also race and have the blinged out look that the brand is going for. I think i would be the perfect brand ambassador, im young, outgoing, trendy and always willing to lend a helping hand to anybody that needs it. I always go for gold in everything i do! singletrackmind2009-03-19 11:04:03

And were those parts taken off a spez epic by any chance?

Very nice, but could you post a better photo, looks like a nice bike, wanna get a good look singletrackmind2009-03-18 12:52:38

no that would make it even sweeter in my opinion. I had them on mine and it looked hot. Some bling bits make a bike look ugly and some just add that finishing touch, its all about trial and error

and whatsup with tweety on the road bars?
