Nice one, what is the HA?
Looks slack.

63 degrees, she's slack, and theres a shock in there guys, im testing the 240mm 02RCX FR shock on it for DIY, not really any long tracks to cook it and it handled well on the wish in the smaller stroke. It won't be as slack as it looks, as shock needs bushings to fit, at the moment its just resting on the shock eyelets.

Well for the first time, I'm a fan of the floating linkage, I've been VERY impressed by how thing pedals, and through the rocks are definitely it's strength! It's not the easiest bike to get into and control in the air, but keep it planted and its proving rather lethal, Cromo is a different ball game to alloy, finding it helps take the edge off bottom out which is nice. Seat post angle is abit slack, other wise CS and head angle are very nice.


air shock/ feels like arse stationary, get it warm and up to speed and it's a whole new ball game, tis on the money, the key will be longevity under a 95kg rider.

need to get some new forks though, they hold it back, but for me their alright.

weight is 19.47kg with dual plys/ 2.35 tubes/ the 888s and heavy cranks/ heaviest Dartmoor rims and old aerial rear hub. could get into the 17s, not bad for a cromo rig. ;)
