After about 3months of waiting, finally got the frame the other day. Its the 1st Production one (to my knowledge) in Aus.

Cant find my camera cable at the moment, so only some shitty phone pics.

Im going to play around with some different tyre combinations, crossmark on the front is pretty poor.

Any suggestions? I was thinking a larsen, rendez, slant 6 or SB8?

That looks great! I'm waiting for my workmate's one to come in to decide whether I build it or a Voltage YZ.

Tom, the ABD pivotal posts come in 25.4/27.2/30.6/30.9 (but only in the black ano finish). Dartmoor also do a range of sizes in their pivotal posts if you want flash colours.

Yeah, i was in the same position but Im running gears, and neither of the voltages can run gears (The TMOs are out of the question as they arent actually getting them due to production problems :()

Yeah it is firming up for the Flow...but there are still a limited amount of '10 model YZ0.1s and they can run gears with the mech hanger IDS mounted, plus a couple of '09 YZ0.5s. Both are same frame as current Timo YZ0 basically. And I'll have the stock length 12X135 IDS from my Voltage FR spare when I go to the -10 ones.

I was going to do the same thing, but decided to go the abd because I couldn't get the Voltage HT that matches my FR and didnt like the look of the others haha.

Took a stock one for a test ride today and I have to say, the frame does feel very nice. I quite liked it, but yours is sick mate! ;)
