Big shout out to BJ for the sweet deal on the new frame and extras
and also big thanks to Ari and Daniel from Trailhead bike co. Anglesea for the fast and perfect buildup

Also in the line up is my old and trustworthy 125. its changed forms often and most recently decided to add a bit of snap crackle pop due to one mech brake + steep trail + trees = snap

hey cheers for the replies, demo9pro: nah I'm going to keep the brakes, suprisingly they are really good.

the cassette is a SRAM PG-990 , the best Sram one i think plus its bling red which goes with my theme

The Rocco rear shock...
Come with the frame or aftermarket?
lucco

the roco was after market but I bought it with the frame of BJ.
so far its been great really good feel to it and when sitting down pedalling the bob has been nil or pretty undectectable. although one downside is the parts and repair are a bitch to organise atm.

That brings back memories...

The seat is a wierd flexable plastic. Its nice and durable but a real bitch to sit on after a long days riding. Its better suited for a DJ bike than a FR/Dh bike. I cant remember how much it cost me...

Good to see she went to a good home, needs a bit more white...

Cheers.

:eek: just one thing to make it 100%...a white syncros stem ( or any other that is a bit more sleek)
AWESOME ride. ( nice snappage too)
is that a jack russel? nice little dog
ride that bike hard
lucco
13-11-2006, 04:08 PM
yeah Bj the seat isnt that forgiving but damn its strong, if id had a normal one i would have shredded it at barjarg the other weekend.

im shattered at the moment cause of the destruction of the shuttle side crank. been 3M taping it but it keeps getting dragged and scratched. damn 3pc cranks arnt good for racing

and don't worry i have more white on the way. was tempted to get white boxxers but the single crowns are too sweet.

patto , yeah still have to come ride in ballarat sometime

Alec McJo
17-11-2006, 03:14 PM
That Demo is ssoo nice, you can't get much more freeride set up than that!

Is that one of those Freak seats? I believe their designed for tricks like superman seatgraps and etc with the grab rails underneath? Pictures :D :p



that demo looks soo nice..

how did you snap those forks?

Read the post man, he ran into a tree.

that demo looks soo nice..

how did you snap those forks?

a little encounter with some average sized sapplings. caused by one back mech brake, dj tires and wet ground on a steep as dh trail. i was fine but the forks took all the impact... ahh well im getting new gold labels on insurance so im happy

either way bloody awesome

its 3M tape I got from a moto shop, used it on the back swing arms, mainframe and cranks.

greg

the weight probably isn't reduced but I can't really say cause ive only had it built with 66's. it weighs between 19-20 kg, handling can't really say either, i guess i can chuck an x-up while racing...

couple of action shots pretty boring but theyre all i have so far
