MY new bike,
I bought a Norco Rampage and swapped all the parts over to this frame.
everything fits sweet.
Took it for a ride around Oxford Falls XC area yesterday,
the thing is very nice, and it climbs like a trooper,
I just have to get used to the geometry and weight 20kg approx,
4 swinger shock by manitou, DJ2's up front, husselfelt bars stem cranks,
hayes hfx9 8" brakes, Levers are a bit weak,
cost $3300.00 all up.

Frames are $1850 from craftworks website with 4 swinger shock.
Fairly heavy frame at 4KG but its never going to break on me.

That colour makes me go
, it needs gold bits to set it off though.

Soon we'll have a Sydney FRM crew, they're popping up everwhere now.

It certainly looks the business. I'd be interested to know what you think of the Swinger 4-Way, when you get some more time on it of course.

well so far so good with the shock,
need to play around with all the settings,
all stock setup at the moment.
but the guys at the bike shop think to semm its ok for my weight( 65kg)
my last shock only had spring preload.
works well when sprinting and climbing,
i think my spring might be a little to soft (400pound)
will let you know more after a few more rides.
