'sa nice ride mate... rather heavy the old scabs though!
do you find that the forks flex a lot? i've heard that due to the drilled crowns that they are rather twisty... otherwise sick ride dude and keep rolling!

 

[mountain_man(1)]

I dont find the forks flex at all the holes in the crown just save a little weight they fell super plush and i have never felt them twist altho the small stuff i do i feel that i do them smothly.

Nice one.

You can't kill a Scab

Well actually i have a CRACK where the top tube meets the seat post, thats right u heard me correctly a CRACK Pics tomoz. Warrenty ????? Its an 02????

It will be welded up if warrenty falls through which is quite possible.

 

[Carlin]

I take it back then

That's no good. Mine has copped more abuse than a parking inspector and it is trucking along fine

Nice spec, how do the brakes feel?

 

[mountain_man(1)]

8" rotor for the front and 7" on the back will be even sicker.

I had an '02 scab a while back and I cracked it in the same spot....

 

[mountain_man(1)]

Love the brakes they feel like they have soo much power and the way the leavers are at the moment they just feel soooo good.

Looks like a good ride though.
