Large 5 Spot with sherman fireflies. rides really well. Good DH, jumps etc while still light enough to XC. Good angles make it a fun ride.

ooo you lucky boy. I had the oppertunity to ride one of these in the UK. Really sweet frames they are. Are they marketed as 'all day' frames rather than DH?FR? cant remember...

Bill,

What can i say. She looks beautiful. Top job !!! :P If i had the money i would be buying one of those or a rail as a second bike for sure. I'm just going to have to live with one turner for now. Sigh.........

Here is a pic of a turner Rail for LTR

Lol, gotta love the 1 brick kickers. You can set the up next to a gutter and gap it 8)

Yep, that's DhDs training ramp. He's hoping to move up to 2 bricks some time during the '05 season :lol:

(OK maybe it's what his son uses to launch but the 1st explanation was funnier)

As for the bike, she's a beaut. I swiped it at Majura last week and was mighty impressed. Does everything very nicely, and if Dhd can pedal the bugger out of the pines then it must be light!

After having this for about 3 weeks now I have serious wood over it!
I don't usually talk our stuff up but this is truly and all mountain bike.....each ride it just gets better.
All I'm going to change is the bars and stem for lighter/wider combo (BILT of course!) and throw some 2.35 super tackies on there and the thing will be a jet!

Good.....Was a drama for a while losing air and then I stripped the thread on the disc mounts.....Arrrggghhh!!!
Marcus from Manitou sorted it for me though. He's a good man that Marcus he is.
