Damn that's nice.

I've always wondered but I've never been bothered to ask why: What is the reason for the thing underneath the shock/what is it?

[Kirky]

It was worth the wait, I absolutely love it! Also excellent photography.

['Alex]

fark! if only there were words to describe its greatness! the spec, the colour scheme. perfection that's all i could come up with :eek: :eek: :eek:

[caveman_01]

the thing under the shock is a brace to stop the frame flexing apparently.

[yogibear]

I've always wondered but I've never been bothered to ask why: What is the reason for the thing underneath the shock/what is it?
It actually spreads the stress load across the frame during the action of the suspension. Not to stop the frame flexing (I doubt that would be even possible) but simmilar.

That looks mint.

All the components go really well with it.

[Joelski2006]

WOW!! :eek: need to change my jocks now.. Sweet as ride backed up with some sweet as photography.. ride her hard. :cool:

[Bowlo]

Orgasmic!! Nuff said!!

[BJ-]

The bike and photography looks great...

[Ruckus_Lord]

Word Matt; My photo's can't even do it justice as to how good it actually looks and rides. Even though I couldn't really get any feel for the suspension out of it due to it being set up for some kind of ogre.:p

There's a couple more shots i'll put up later on.

[bunya djer n dher]

[Tristan23]

And yes, what a fucking hot bike too.

[pike409]

im loving the red and black and do now a reasonably cheap hub that comes in red kinda like yours?

[MrPlow]
