Looks pretty good, should go for a Dabomb tensioner instead though only $29 and I reckon there better than DMR, and a new seat would be good.

He's not using one anymore, look at the last pic.

I would definatly replace the seat asap.

The man speaks the truth, goddamn I hate those seats, piss weak, expensive, heavy and uncomfortable. You may have seen my ramblings in other threads about these seats, yep, I pretty well hate them. Sunline V2, Ti-Fly, whatever, just about anything is better than that seat.

Key words there are 'just' and 'about'

Im trying to go for a really clean look...so was wondering what you guys' opinions would be on removing the fork decals?

Fork decals.. Use a sharp knife, like a craft knife (if its a sticker, which most Marzocchi decals are). But be careful with a craft knife, they are bloody sharp (one small slip and now I have a 2.5 inch scar accross my fingers.

Since you rawed the frame, I'd raw the bars and pedals too, the green just doesn't fit in anymore.

Oh yeah, just another thing about that seat, you'd easily lose 400g if you spent just a little bit of money (If you're really keen on weight).

And don't forget the post! Nothing like losing your feet off a jump and coming down to only brake your new seat off the post
