Well, frame should be here in about a weeks time. So thought I'd post a sneak peak on a couple of parts which will make up the build. Will update when the frame arrives. :)

Wheres the forks?

:p

[Tristan23]

whore.
that is all.

[ovadahill]

Wheres the forks?

:p

Just imagine which forks you'd bolt a Thompson stem onto........think RC2 maybe.

[Red Rocket]

I hope its a downhill bike of some sort. Your hardtails have all been beatiful, but full squish makes me wet.

Are the goodridge hoses a worthwhile upgrade to Saints? Much difference in lever feel?

I believe I recall from another thread that it infact is a downhill bike...

[BJ-]

Man your such a cock tease...!

[lachy]

a cock tease? somehow i think your relationship with bike parts has gone a lil too far mate :P

it is indeed a dually, which will be awsome when built :D

[Alec McJo]

Sweet, Will be interesting to see the rest

[Cameo]

You taking much parts of the hardtail for this build?

[Gripper]

heckler? huh

[Big_Al]

Im going to say its going to be some mad core slopestyle bike...A DH race bike is out of my mind when i see those forks...
It is going to be sweet

[rtd]

Wow, nice gear. Here's my guess: http://www.nicolai.net/products/e-frames/e-ufo-ds.html.

Rich.

[Mo]

^^^im got a feeling that's the frame

[Mr_hANky]

hahahah wrong, i know what he's getting and you dont.

[Guiver]

damn you and your Talas rc2's
hahah i think you have 1-up'ed all my parts.. cheeky beggar

[Chandler_DJer]

I have to agree with anyone who says slopestyle. such as a bottle rocket, UFO DS or something along the lines of those. But one thing's for sure its going to be awesome. :D

[Mo]

definetely a nicolai

[Sov]

Small SC Heckler with a DHX Air would be my guess. Maybe:confused:

[-DAvo]

haha don't worry guys, the wait will be over very soon :D


just a couple other parts,

[NH_]

very smexy dave i want to see it all built already, only a week to go though :)

[ovadahill]

Hey DAvo, did you choose the Aireal headset mainly because of fork clearance requiring a higher stack height than the CK?

[shenanigans]

if you were after a diff headset than king and going aussie an illicit headset would have been sweet too but i here good things about the EV.

are the powerlines mech or hydro? lol

[-DAvo]

yeah true, but these new ev1.2 have triple o ring sealing :D not to mention they give me the right stack height i was after.

[Cameo]

Nice collection of Vodka you have there! ;)

Looks tasty Davo, looking forward to seeing the final product. Guessing Saint/XTR drivetrain?

[NH_]

http://static.flickr.com/102/298026575_4ed2233c87_b.jpg

or that........ he posted it on the first page

[Povi]

my guess is a freeride.....
something like a block 8?

[meatlovers]

when r u getting the frame?

[R33F]

Love it -DAvo !!

But the suspence is killing me !! Give us a hint at least !!

Cheers,

[-DAvo]

haha well the wait is killing me! was hoping the frame would rock up today but alas.. no show. :mad: heres hoping for tomorrow! :confused:

but my new cranks came in today, talk about bitter sweet..

165mm saints! yeooow

http://static.flickr.com/115/303495605_f14712393c_b.jpg

[FuTAnT]

Ah, that sticker cracks me up.

"And now, that latest innovation from Shimano technology, announcing .. the new ... technologically proven ... air"

"With almost infinitely less torsional rigidity and strength than even mild steel, it's bound to make every ride the sweetest"

It's ok, I understand the hollow design, Saints are a great piece of kit, just the advertisement of "air inside" is pretty funny.

[shenanigans]

mmm 165 saint stubbiness, will be killer dave.

[Mr_hANky]

Dave ur saints suck, wait till you see mine, their so much better than urs will be. Think white

[-DAvo]

Well its finally arrived!

Bear in mind there are still a few things that need to be done (steerer tube, drivetrain etc etc)

but heres the guts of it






















tada!

enjoy and thanks for looking :cool:

[brad of sydney]

thats beautiful.
nuff said

[leitch]

fuck yes davo thats hot as! the new hecklers are fucking beautiful

[tinto]

Three thumbs up.

[Binaural]

Beautiful bike as always! Plan to race that?

[Sov]

Small SC Heckler with a DHX Air would be my guess.
w00t!

Looks like a brand spanking new 07 model with the smaller head tube gussets. Very sweet build (well, almost build.) How much do you think it's going to end up weighing? Any clearance problems between the fork knobs and downtube?

[Big_Al]

HOLY SHIT
That has redefined sex on wheels....WOW

[-DAvo]

w00t!

yep its the new model with the smaller gussets. not sure on the weight yet, its pretty light at the moment, and the drivetrain shouldnt add that much more, (sram x0/x9 with durace chain)

atm there is a small amount of brushing with the talas knob, but im working on sorting that out..

[sikpuppyonglory]

sweeeet looking rig there davo, looks like some mad times are coming your way soon ;)

[Ruckus_Lord]

It is niiiice

About time Davo, the new hecklers look nice......And that build ain't too shabby either!

It may be wise to get insurance if you don't already have it.....;)

[Tristan23]

freakin beautiful down to the last T.

makes me smile just to look at it. that's when you know you have a winner bike.

[ovadahill]

Small SC Heckler with a DHX Air would be my guess. Maybe:confused:

Good guess Sov... I though it might have been silver.

Wow DAvo, another one for BOTM nomination...quick get the drivetrain on before the 30th. Once again, the suspense is over and you haven't dissapointed the pundits.

Props to the Guiver thread (http://http://forums.farkin.net/showthread.php?t=66592&page=2) for the pre-release clues.

[BJ-]

ohhhhh man, thats farkin beautiful...!

[Alec McJo]

Hell yes, just as nice as everyone was expecting!

Gota be proud of that one, racing anything on it?

[Hamo]

that thing isSooo Hot, Id burn my hands if i touched it it (and I know dave would probably cut them off after I did that :p )

[x]

Wow I really like that. Good work. Loving the white...

[Ruzz]

HEy ma Wherd ma chain go???

[Bowlo]
