Looking forward to the photos.

Nice rig, I love the testbike colours with the glow in the dark decals. When you get a decent fork on board it should be a ripper. 36 Van would be ideal.

 

[DWNHLR01]

Oh, I didn't know the test bikes came in a different colour scheme?

I've covered up the test bike decals now anyway =)

The forks don't seem too bad to me. My only problems with the bike is (was) the grips...replaced those with some ODI lock ons and the chain device. I've already dropped the chain twice, so a new ethirteen is on the cards. I'm thinking I might bump the tyres up to 2.5s as well.

Apart from that, I Love the bike! It is so much better to ride then my old 05 Norco Shore.

I'll post up a pic later on when I find my camera cord...

Rocking some minor things, new pads, grips, 2.5 minion F and 2.5 High roller rear (super tackeys), Macneil 'Cinch' pedals...Got some 08 'Zocchi 66 RCVs on the cards.

Loving the bike more than ever. Dread to think what it weighs now...was 17.5kg before maxxis tyres haha.

New forks, 08 66rcvs...Lifted the front end a bit. Can't wait to ride them!

Some bling goodies just arrived.

Ano blue Octane one sealed headset, blue blackspire roller and blue slider.

I'll chuck some pics up later

looks heavy, got a weight?

i have just restored a 2006 super cross its a 4" travel version air,

I will be posting up spec list and photos shortly, either way nice to see a 2006 sx trail

 

[DWNHLR01]

Weight, comes in at around 17-18kg I think. I haven’t weighed it since putting minions on it.

I think if I switch to tubeless I can drop a lot of weight, but may just leave it how it is. It’s main duty at the moment is downhill so I’m not too fussed with weight, nor am I quick enough for it to be a big factor.

Newest addition to keep all the haters happy.

Shit phone pic.

Actually quite happy with how it feels...suprising actually as it was a big gamble!

Depending on your height, I would look at getting a pair of low rise bars on there. In fact now that I think about it I just took a pair of Giant own brand 750mm bars off my Glory brand new if you want them for a few quid?

 

[DWNHLR01]

bars were next on the cards...Was thinking of some wide diety bars.

Thanks for the offer mate but I'm gonna buy some locally so I can feel them.

Hey dual crowns on an enduro... I like it

I was considering doing a bit of the same to mine, but don't have the cash at the moment. Or at least getting a little more travel in the front, I've only got 130mm at the moment.

Oh and I put a set of low answers on mine about two months ago and it felt weird at first being that little bit lower but I love it now. But with you raising the front so much it won't be so dramatic I guess for you.

I have Deity Black labels and D30's in the store if you want to have a feel Hal.
