My Stab again.

All stock, except:

Shiver

Deemax wheelset

Sram x9 drive

Nicer Maxxis super tackies

Soon to come... probably new frame/fork and ditch the other stock parts for some nicer stuff. Anyway, enjoy.

PS: Ignore photo titles.... drive/nondrive ??

I'm in between forks... probably use the Shivers for 6 months or so until I figure out what to buy. They're actually quite a nice fork when set up right and the colour of mine match the frame sweetly. But yeah, these are just a temporary job for now.

looks sweet man - love the DeeMaxs. Before I sold my Stab I put 888RC2Xs on it and it made a different bike. Sold it with the old 888s though. Anywho, nice upgrades.

Nice work the stab looks awesome. i've always liked the blue/white combo and the forks suit as well.

Enjoy

Yeah I remember your bike looked awesome with the RC2X. They're definetely near the top of my list for new forks.

So... in other words... you're buying an entirely new bike, with the exception of the wheels.

Probably a good thing: http://forums.farkin.net/showthread.php?t=47422 ;)

Yeah pretty much, though I'll look at getting frame/fork first, then build my bike around that, ensuring all the parts are to my liking. Any recommendations for a race frame?

looks awsome, those forks look awsome, do they go well in the hairy stuff?

Having never raced DH, I can't say, but the Demo8 that my mate hired at Buller last weekend was a very sweet ride.
