Oh yeh if you read Ryan's attack of the tribes feature you may notice this bike won sport class MtnX
Love the colour :D And a pretty nice spec on it too.
Any feedback on the Saint gear yet?
And...the rims, how did you go about getting them painted?

Saint, well ive only got the cranks but they're so easy to install, so smooth and just sooo damn nice to look at, i was also riding sik mik's xc bike yesterday with new xtr on it, he said his new dh/4x bikes will run saint and was excitied about it, the gear is slowly filtering into town, a mate just bought a full house saint kit for his 222, and said it was nice but hadnt got a chance to have a thrash yet, the rims, we just laid them out on the ground and sprayed them, i think it GMH matte black, not real tough paint but easy to touch up

the drive side crank and bb spindle and one piece, the cups you can just whack in with your hands, but to get them tight enough to trust you need another shimano tool i think, the non drive side has a pinch bolt thing happenin
looks mad... my xlr8 is gonna have those forks with chris king hubs and probly 2004 atom lab trail pimps :D

what the cranks cost you? any issues with the aireal? Sweet bike btw.

cranks rrp for about 500 i think, and the aireal, i've ran them on my last 3 bikes with no issues, apart from lack of lock-tite(my fault)

I meant issues fitting the aireal to the saint cranks :)
500 is a bit steap. I was hoping for more like 400.
Cheers
