VERY VERY VERY nice!! shame about the kidney tho, no more drinking for you!

 

[whiteman]

Your bike looks sick!
Awesome weight aswell.

 

[Viv92]

I think you'll have to fix those Boxxers... my brain is hurting at the thought of you owning anything that isn't the very best you can get, same goes for the bars.

Sweet bike though.

looking good, your gonna love it. I had a feeling the 450 could be built pretty light with the right fork/wheel combo, this proves it

 

[stringbean]

nice bike, quite jealous.

is that spring the right size, looks a tad short.

 

[jrewing]

gosh that is nice.

 

[bspawn]

I think you should change the crowd and I am stroke of your bike weight. My bike weight is 18.5 Kg.

WOW nice ride mate, keen to see some action shots

Yeah spring is the right size, came off the old bike with the same stroke shock. We had a 250lb on it at first because its supposed to be more progressive and normally I run a 300lb on the Orange 224 which is a regressive bike. Turns out I might need a 350 now! More weight

Thanks for comments everyone. As for action shots, I'l try get some before holidays are over, I havent even got to ride it properly yet! So keen though.

Downhill day at dump run on sunday, get some action shots then.
Also it isn't light enough, needs to be lighter.

[davo808]

wow, thats a sick ride man. I've done something similar with my 4x bikes cluster. using various single speed conversion bits I've created a 3 speed cluster with 7sp spacing.

 

[powley]

[nskz]

What's the frame/shock weigh? Crazy light and pimp!

For the small size with steel spring and seat clamp, which is below 11 lbs.

 

[the F.H.B]

[Jack456]
