It weighs just under 21kg and it rides brilliantly although a little later I will think about changing the rear shock.

[bunyajumper]

Hey the floating brake came with the bike. I have only seen one other than mine but now I know 3 people who have them so I dont know why there so rare because they feel great great ride.

Yeh it was an awesome weekend. Ive only done one run on it and it felt great. Feels alot better than the raceline. I still got the trailer so you can use it whenever you want.
Cheers.

[down_hillbilly]

Updated.
Put new front rim, tyre and new brakes on it.

[FoxRidersCo]

[meatlovers]

There are none.

[down_hillbilly]

I donno whats goin on I can see them fine.

[down_hillbilly]

There we go. Are they working now?

[meatlovers]

Yes they are and they are looking Suh-Weet!

[FoxRidersCo]

Mmmm... Nice :)

[Booost]

That thing is a beast!!!

[No Skid Marks]

Nice bike mate,very underated frame for no real reason.
I wouldn't be weighing it down with Saint cramks though XT'll be as strong as that frame. If you need Saints you need a beefier bike(cough Brooklyn)otherwise don't kill it's light weight advantage with saints,just my opinion.
Something don't look right,oh it's got the drop crowns on the 888s,get flats,although the headangle doesn't look that lazy I'm sure it would be,might feel good for confidence now but once you're used to it you'll notice how much of a pig it is with that high BB and lazy forks,again just my opinion.

Just a Question. I run a 05? shockwave, but without the floating disc set up. From your experience is it worth the cost on the shockwave? Have you ran it without the floating setup.
Cheers

Nah ive never had it off but I might take it off and have a feel in practice at canberra.

Good work. If you remember, I'd appreciate what ever thoughts you have on it after Canberra.

[jessebatty]

Nice bike man:D

[soil sampler]

i used to really dislike that bike, but now after seeing your bike it has changed my mind. it looks awsome and spec is unbeliveable. nice job

[Old Shagger]

New sticker kit on the new model looks cool. I also would like to know about the floating rear and difference, as mine does not have. I used to have a BB7 that i added the floating rear too, and it felt quite different. If your going to stromlo for Rnd 1 it would be good to see it.
