Big big fan of those frames and their geo but, apart from the deece tyres, the speclist on Thunderbirds is filth :(

i am on occasion known to venture into wonnie heights... so just listen out and youll probs here me coming:p

but anyways yer the bike feels absolutely epic after coming of a single speed, street tyred 08 sasquatch

in terms of spec im going to be upgrading as parts break or wear out (...or just stop looking pimp enough!:cool:) but as it is now it is perfect for where i am at atm:confused:

That's lookin nice man. Except that seat looks rather close to the tyre, and as bighair said, is the chain a bit slack?

I'm not to big on park mtb but this bike looks great. The matching blue on the frame and the rims really sets it off. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun on it.

Thats actually really nice. Don't you get super chain rattle though? Pretty slack...

haha the chain isnt usually that slack... i Just had the wheel off to put the avid rotor on and thought it would be a highly oportune photo moment:eek:

oh and yer the seat being that low is awesome in terms of being almost negligent out of the way, although i have gotton caught in it a couple of times with my shirt haha! coming up short on transfers etc and getting a little to close to the wheel:cool:
geez i felt stupid being dragged backwards onto my wheel with my mate watching! (and laughing to a considerable extent of course)

80mm street dj forks are meant to be stiff... the only real time they should even come into the equation is smoothing things up alittle when things start to get hairy

most of the riding if put this though, park they have handled briliantly! that said they are handling exactly as you described and for the intended purpose thats great
