Got a nice little tax return this year. That was excuse enough to get a new frame and some shiny new components. As much as I tried (through poor riding and poor treatment) the DH sled I had been plowing down hills for the last 3-4 years wouldn't die so any excuse would do. I had 4 or 5 frames that I was considering and the Scalp was the one that happened to be the right amount of frame for the right amount of dollars at the right time.
I haven't had a proper ride on it yet, that will happen tomorrow.
Frame - 2012 Nukeproof Scalp
Rear shock - Cane Creek Double Barrel
Front shock/fork - 2010 Marzocchi 888 RC3 evo's
Handlebars - Deity Dirty 30
Stem - Nukeproof Warhead
Headset - Nukeproof Warhead 1.1/8 - 1.5
Grips - Lizard skin
Saddle - Nukeproof Plasma Core
Seatpost - Dabomb Hellfire XC
Front brake - Shimano XT m785
Rear brake - Shimano XT m785
Cranks - Shimano Saint
Chainguide - MRP G2
Chain - KMC X9
Pedals - Nukeproof Proton
Rear derailleur - Shimano Saint
Rear shifter - Shimano Saint
Cassette - SRAM PG970
Front hub - Dabomb Headspin
Rear hub - Dabomb Heaspin
Front rim - Dabomb
Rear rim - Dabomb
Tyres - Schwalbe Muddy Mary
Tubes - Ghetto tubeless
Total weight - I'm 6'3" and 100kgs, so I don't care enough to check.
A big thanks to Joe and the guys at Carine Cycles for being on the ball when ordering and shipping the frame to me and for doing everything they could, as fast as they could, to get a 500lb spring out to me after the first one I ordered was lost in transit.
