Have finally outgrown ye olde faithful Trance SX and upgraded to a bigger and lighter sled.
As it is already a very nice build from new I have so far just moved over the wheels, brakes, saddle, and bars from the Trance, and don't think there will be as such heavy mod'ing this time around. Instead I hope to fill this thread with some info about how I set up the bike, and lots more pics and videos of riding at various places.
