patches Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 Hahahaha, dud I heard from IntenseBMX what u might be getting! Gonna b sick if u do Damn him and his big mouth! hahaha! I bet he told you it was his idea too?!  Well, it's on its way to the LBS so hopefully I can collect monday/tuesday... So for everyone else... Here it is http://www.cannondale.co.jp/bikes/09/images/large/9VB1_grn.jpg http://files.myopera.com/badmadcyclist/albums/119928/CarbonMoto1.jpg http://lh6.ggpht.com/--YYY7I1kz2I/Sq2VTHOAQWI/AAAAAAAABfg/lrDDjfBY25I/DSC03206.JPG Will post actual pics as soon as it's in my sticky fingers. Also plan on changing quite a few things from the get-go, so XCers, be on the lookout for some awesome brand new parts for sale at 40% less than CRC price.
Capricorn Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Looks very snazzy. sweet, and unexpected choice $$$?That your AM rig?
patches Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Looks very snazzy. sweet, and unexpected choice $$$?That your AM rig? haha! thanks! yup was an unexpected choice... but the offer was not one to be missed. Brand new, but old stock Fork: Fox Talas 36 RC2Shock: Fox DHX 5 AirWheels: Mavic Crossmax SXCrank: Shimano XTRShifters and RD: SRAM X0Brake: Avid Elixir CR all that, plus a frame that has a lifetime warranty for the grand sum of about 60% off. Total bargain! EDIT: yup that's the AM rig. I'm giving myself some a few months to save for a DH frame. I don't use the DH bike nearly as much as I should (once every 6 weeks), so this seemed like a more logical purchase for now... an AM rig suits about 80% of the riding I'm doing when not jumping... but I'll miss the big beast... so plans to get another are already in motion Edited January 7, 2012 by patches
Capricorn Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 wowzor!!! that thing's kitted out! Gots to give feedback once u out slaying everything underwheel. You getting it in that colorscheme?
patches Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 wowzor!!! that thing's kitted out! Gots to give feedback once u out slaying everything underwheel. You getting it in that colorscheme? Yeah, it's a pretty high spec build, at the cost it's worth the parts alone. As for the colour, yup, as far as I know that's the scheme (there is a black grey and red option, but that wasn't what was indicated on the site). But I have some bling plans in the pipeline, so we'll see
MtbBarbie Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I'm in line for a new DH frame and I've been looking at a few options... 2011 Commencal Supreme DH Atherton Edition (I know MtbBarbie will drool over this because of her Gee crush) http://www.commencal.com/web_bicycles/2011/pictures/supreme_dh_atherton_1.jpg    As mentioned, a big CommenKal fan!!! But loooooove the new ride.. congrats! Waiting on pics of your new girl when she arrives!
patches Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Hey, where are those pics?? I'm ashamed to show the bike before it's finished... No AM bike should be shown with the narrow bars and super long stem that mine came with. New parts should be here next week Edited January 11, 2012 by patches
patches Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 ok... so here's a pic of the unfinished product  the standard issue bars and stem pictured were put on for a grand total of 2 min in order to take a photo. Then removed, and bars have been sold. My CRC order should be here early next week... it contains: wider bars (740mm)chainrings (24T and 36T)bashguard (in place of big ring... I don't go that fast)chainguidegripsgoodridge hoses and a shorter DH style stem is on its way from Evans Cycles. so yeah... will post the PROPER pic when it's looking the way it should
patches Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 Your tires are flat  what you talking about! They're tubeless... they're made to run at low pressure
