My Process 167 as she sits. Loving the dual crown, suprisingly feels better than the 36 I had on it before.
Isn't the geometry messed up? That's a f*ckin hucking sweet and super sick set up! Love that man!

that fork is only 13mm taller than stock so it doesn't make a huge difference. I ran my 167 with a boxxer and it was rad, but it feels better with a 180mm metric

Its not too bad, I built the bike with whistler specificly in mind so its does exactly what I want it to do. The geometry is ofcourse off abit but its not a bad feel by any means. But thanks man!

Thats a rad 167^

My park rig with a fresh DVO jade Damn beauty of a rear shock


Swapped the rear shock out to a dvo jade today.....crazy differance! I like a stiff suspension set up but the vivid at max psi wasnt very active as far as small bump goes ofcourse but the jade seems to do the trick pretty well so far! Only 1 day on it in the park today though, we'll see how it fairs for the remainder of the season.

Alright so this bike has been in my shops repair area for over a year and the owner has been contacted multiple times to come pick it up and hasn't. It's been 4 notifications to pick it up and the owner of the shop has decided to sell the bike to move it(standard policy on abandoned bikes). He said he would sell it to me for the cost of the rear which is like $80.

My questions are what year/model is it...I think its a Stab Deluxe but am not 100% only marking on it is KONA DH on the head tube gusset.

..and is this bike worth spending $80 on..it ill need about $200 or so to make it in decent riding condition.

Buy it, fix it up, resell it?

OR throw some hookworms on it and use it as an urban huckbike. for shiggles.

Dope build! Keep an eye on that sun race cassette. I've had to replace about 6 of them on customers bikes due to the cogs bending.
