Taxi-lemon-bumble bee - Pics up!!-

[AMBURGERS]

ooook, well i sent my frame off to grip sport, to get a crack at the shock mounts fixed. pretty much what they did is form a new mount around the old one and weld it to the top bar things (that go from the TT to the seat post) and made a new chromoly shock bolt that would fit. the new position of the shock, geometry wise, is pretty similar to were i had it set before, mabey even slacker.

Thats not all i got grip sport to do, it was bead blasted and recieved a fresh coat of paint....Yellow of coarse :D. So now i'm going with a yellow/black collour scheme. looks very nice :).

Frame: Custom 07 norco A-line park, Yellow :)
Forks: 06 Boxxer teams

Brakes: Avid Codes - 8" disks

The colour of a bike is irrelevant... as long as it has good performing parts on it.

So I haz no opinion... :)

Yellow and Black Boxxer decals would be hot!

[tom_burford_orr]

I didn't like the sound of painting it yellow but this has realy come up great. I like The pastel type of colour. It is not as full on. Should get some norco stickers for the embossed parts of the frame near the head tube.... or some RSD ones :D . I can get you some MBC ones if you want :p .

Looks SICK KENT!

Yeah looks sexy eye. i'm not sure about the stickers yet, it looks good without them. we'll see what happens.

Your shoulders going to be piss weak. You have had next to zero strain on it for a month or two. Light riding only for the month after healing, in this month gym it up, heavily foucusing on building up your shoulder and every muscle around it.
Enjoy the lack of fitness too.

P.S: This is coming from a guy who rode the woodford (~40km) trail 2 weeks out of the sling. Needless to say wasn't the best idea I have had.

i shouldnt be too bad. i only wore the sling for 2 weaks anyway. i've been riding around the streets a bit. i can bunnyhop and manuel etc. but yes the fitness is on the low side

[Downhill Domination]

Get rid of the golden stem and get a black one, and you have a bike that is pretty much sex on wheels!

I say you need some Norco decals on there though, black!

[$$Noble$$]

that burnt my retna in my eye that is bright

yeah a black stem would look better. but this one works fine. so it's staying for now.

hmm dont now about decals yet.

[cameron_15]

who pays for all this stuff?

It looks quite rad. I like it a lot.

there was a thread a long while back about someone who wanted to make a bumble bee bike and asked anyone for pictures. just though people needed to know that.

i would be lying if i said i paid for it all.

Dad can get a fair amount of mountain bike stuff through his work (deals with motorcycle parts and accesories) including TLD. so thats were the helmet came from.

[santacruzbrendan]

the fluro yellow handlebars....they kill it for me.

other than that it looks sweet!

[juzzo]

possibly the worst coloured and looking bike I've ever seen.

On a positive specs pretty good

[StInKy LoVeR]

It is a sweet colour, however the parts don't match. Just make your own boxxer decals in yellow. Would look sick with deemax try and make everything yellow.

the bars would probally look better if they weren't so scratched...

how do the parts "not match"? everything is either yellow or black (or close enough), u talking about the rims? demax's would kick it off tho :p

[StInKy LoVeR]

Just the rims maybe. A matching MTX would go nice.

[chuckies_here]

Yeah a new bar and stem would top it off very nicely.
It would tie everything together.

But it is still a nice looking bike.
