One of just 4 currently in existence, this complete bike is an amazing work of industrial art. Only 1/2 a season of use and even that is a stretch. Built by Dan Stapleton with a lifetime warranty, the Mine gives over 9.5 inches of travel from a 3 inch stroke Avalanche DHS rear shock. This is no knock off or copycat bike, every suspension piece was custom designed and works just as intended. Rear end easily accommodates 3 inch meat in 26 inch guise but is currently set up with 24 inch Mag 30 rim laced to a DT Hugi FR hub. Up front is a 26 inch Mavic 517 laced to a Hope hub. Other parts include SRAM drivetrain, Thompson post, Marzocchi 888 RC, integrated stem, Funn bar, Avid Juicy 7's (although a front Hope 6-pot and Mono M4 rear are available), Race Face Evolve DH crankset and Maxxis meats. Wellgo flats standard, but if you're into clips, a nearly unused pair of Crank Brothers Mallets can be swapped on. Although it looks burly as hell, bike easily be built to a 40lb racing machine. Currently weighing in at 44lbs with DH tubes, dirt jump saddle and the 888. Without a doubt the nicest bike I have ever owned. Sadly, divorce forces sale of this beauty. I can be reached at portermd@telus.net or call 250-358-7131 for more information,
