Looks really good mate. I like the whole custom broken thing too haha. What is the weight, seeing as you're hinting at something decent? Pics on a hanging scale or it doesn't count :p

Well I dont have scale shots but from lifting it up I can definitely tell its around the 15.5 kg mark. :rolleyes:
In reality it's probably the wrong side of 20kgs :p Having said that, I dont really notice the weight.

Edit: Weighed it this morning and it comes to 19.34 Kg, pretty stoked :D

Ring (07) 3831 5970, and ask for John.
In all seriousness though, don't ring that number unless you want the cops to come knocking :p

Depending on your weight mate...change to a lower spring rate on the DHX. I am around 100kg's and for the Glory, Tekin still says that is oversprung....feel a lot better on around 400-450lbs.

Tidy looking glory...the old ones have racier lines than the new model even if weigh a ton.

The 500lb spring was what came with the frame. Since I've built up the bike I've only taken it for a few runs at the local and my home track. I'll ride it a but more before I decide whether to keep it... If I do change the spring it will probably be to a 400 or 450, I'm not keen on the under sprung, over damped trend.

You'll have to ring ADAR (Australian Department of Advanced Research) if you want some of this lawn. I would give it to you but I dont have the clearance.....:p
