That bike is getting beefier every time I see it!

[CHEWY]

nope, but thats a damn fine ride

Nice, man ever considered upgrading your fork though? Add something a little more beefier and you have yourself an even more awesome machine.

What are those rims like? I am considering getting myself a wheelset.

Nice pics Dan :). Is the first photo taken at the goatfarm at the bottom of the track.

Your ride looks mighty fine with that 24 inch rear :D. How does it ride with the 24 compared to the 26 on the dh tracks for ya?

Are you still getting an evil chainguide, oh, and I like the chainstay ptotector :).

[stinky|dan]

It is definately getting beefier. I've forgot to mention that i'm now running high roller slow reezays front and rear. 2.7 front and 2.5 rear. Very nice so far.

The fork upgrade is definately going to happen later on in the year. Jnr T or Super T depending on the budget. Plus an evil chain guide when they come into stock.

The Stinky frame is going to be retired for a little while when my .243 frame turns up next week. all the parts from the stinky will be going onto it.

The 24 inch rear is really cool. A little harder to pop wheelies but they may be because i haven't been riding much lately. I'll be honest. I haven't noticed a huge difference yet.

The Dangerboy plates are a worthy addition. I consulted Bear @ Dirt Works (Fox distributors) who recommended that i put a 850 spring on the vanilla to replace the 550 that came stock (i weigh 90kgs) and it was definately the right way to go.

I love the bike. A shame i have to retire it (temporarily) but i want to see what its like to have a steel hardtail for a while. Probably end up racing the hardtail category at the Johnny Waddell Recovery Race.

nice bike dude.You mate must be a really good freind 2 get u a bike like that.

I will try to make it to the John Waddell race in february, even though my brakes are not working that well and all the spokes in my rear wheel are loose and the forks are leaking. :).

Hey dan, next time you go to the farm or bickley reservoir give us a yell and I might be able to make it :)

You're a little bit confused. He got me the Kona JERSEY. not the bike.

Adin!

I know a really good shop that you could come to and get all your problems sorted out!

I'll definately get in touch next time we go to Bickley. Goatfarm is a bit of a hoax at the moment.

[Adi]

Hahaha would that be your shop, btw, what is the adress of your shop, I might drop in next week when you are workin 8). See what you got there :).

[bazza]

if you ever consider selling the plates send me a pm and i will see how much cash i have. have a look at how cheap the 03 new super ts are going on jensonusa.com btw. either that or jnrts are highly recomended!!! they go great on my stinky! all my bike needs is a vanilla R or RC on the back then its sweet. grrrr i wish i had the rear set up like yours though, how much did it end up costing for 24 wheel and plates?

[_J_]

hey dan, nice gear and bike you got there. how much dosh have u put into it all!
well done!

nice bike dan :D

[shauno]

beefier forks and you'll be right.. btw nice bike :D!!!!!

[stinky|dan]
