[konacoiler]

hey everyone,
been a while since i last posted up my bike; since done quite a few upgrades.

I bought it late in 06 and loving every minute of it. I'm very slow at upgrading it due to the fact i'm a student with a very low income :p. I recently bought new forks, marzocchi 66r 04 model off ebay :D. i like to think of it as my own Cowan DS......one day :rolleyes:

any ideas?? cheers


Rear Shock: Fox Vanilla R
Fork: Marzocchi 66R 04' 150mm
Cranks: Race Face Ride XC
Pedals: Kona Jackshit
Handlebars: Deity 2014
Stem: TruVativ XR 3D; thinking of a funn rippa or similar
Grips: Funn Combat
Brake: Avid Juicy 7 08'
Front hub: KK Disc
Rear hub: Shimano FH-M475 disc
Tires: Maxxis Larsen 2.35
Rims: Sun SingleTrack
Saddle: Deity DJ
Seat post: TruVativ XR Double Clamp
Rear derailleur: Shimano 105
Chain guide: e.thirteen 32 special

thinking of buying a Yess Pro ETR-Vertical, has anyone ever used one of these? or know of where i can buy them in Australia, preferably in Victoria?

haha

preferably downhill/ freeride; but because of the location where i live (couple of k's outside the Melbourne cbd) and constantly working parents it's hard to get to places. So mainly dirt jumps around melbourne; stuff i can get to by train etc.

[kona4lyf]

hey "konacoiler" im also doing the train mish around the locals at melb,im few k"s out of the cbd also,got heapz of time on my hands to ride, yeah i got a sinky as well,if your keen to go for a pedal round melbs give me a holla,
cheers

[PSYCHO-T]

Thats a Nice coiler,
I got one(o5), and trust me they can take ALOT MORE then people can think.
If ur looking to get to get brakes, dont get Avid codes (WAY too much power) but juicy 3s would be sweet (maybe 5s)

ride her hard mate

Hey nice upgrades Colin. I'm telling you to grease your bearings in your swing arm or the squeaking will get worse.

[norco_rider245]

[RONEY]

if you keep it ss you should proply convert it, with a ss spacer kit, but i think you would need to keep the dereauller, because the swingarm dosent pivot at the bb

[madboy]

why do you have a derrailure and cassette with no shifter:confused:

i originally had gears, shifter and all; but i snapped the cable running from the shifter; andd i never really could afford to fix it for a while, then i discovered that i really like the simplicity of single speed. so i pretty much never got round to fixing it. Eventually, as i've said, i'm going to go single speed officially with tensioner and single speed kit. just need the money first :P

[dj3]

50 bucks for the DMR spacer kit and cog and $30 for the tensioner thing the guy said above.
