Mad looking bike you have there :D May I ask how much it set you back?

[Gripper]

St. Ives Cycles had it as clearance stock, unasembled as $3600 delivered.
RRP is $4600 :!: :!: :!: and was still quoted to me as that by the Cannondale dealer in my area just 2 weeks ago.
So a relative bargain.

[Gripper]

no

Here's a preview of the part build stage with the forks dummied up.
Just waiting on the M4's, 5th Element and tyres and some fidddly bits....maybe in a weeks time....believe me it's looking really sweet.

Looks uber slick so far and the "To Be Continued" mock up is pretty cool.

You worried about not having the 12mm rear end? It's supposed to make a difference, but I really couldn't make up my mind about whether it's a good thing or not... :?

THat will be farkin sick!

Hope, 5th element, shivers... 8)

Why shivers though?
I dont think they are a bad choice, i'm just wondering as not alot of people spec them anymore...

[Gripper]

You worried about not having the 12mm rear end?
Well rear shocks are held in with a lesser daimeter bolt, and that's a high stress area.
Apparently you can buy the 12mm swingarm off Cannondale if you wanted to upgrade.............

Why shivers though?
After my experience with them"USD's" on motos, I thought it would be the right thing to do....and the overall spec of this bike it would be right also.....and not many peole have em....so something different from say boxxers.

[Gripper]

well yeah, i guess if you put 888's on a gemini you'd be riding a chopper...
wait & see how appropriate the shivers suit the gem.....believe me...

[j5ive]

anyone know- what the axel to crown measurment on a shiver is?

be interesting to know. :)

By the way gripper- things are looking funky!

[Gripper]

what the axel to crown measurment
Shivers = 572.5mm to bottom crown bearing race (factory specs in front of me)
200mm travel 888's = 605mm " " " " "
