Capricorn Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 very very nice Pierre! let us know how she rips! damn, i luv black machines (it is black, yes?), especially when matte/stealth finished..
pierremerv Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Ja, it's a matte black finish. I must say it looks very nice. Just one or two minor things to sort out like the rear rim. My newly built wheel sits off centre. Fished around on the net and looks like these bike need the rim offset 6mm away from the drive side. Will get that sorted, no problem. The bike rides and handles so good. Have not ripped down the downhill course yet, ran out of time this weekend. Just bombed down into Giba Gorge on some of the trials but will be hitting Cascades PMB this coming weekend to give it a real run. Very, very happy with this bike.
Nikolais Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Sweet bike Pierre, I saw the Viggen up for sale the other day and thought you might be leaving DH behind... But this makes me happy!!! HAHA.See you on the Trails

Diepseun Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) how much does he charge for a custom paintjob on a bike? Edited June 28, 2011 by Diepseun
MXkid77 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Will check with him and come back to you. Depends also if you want the graphics painted in or if you going to put decals on.
