that trans-am is gorgeous! love love love the colour. 10/10 for the frame, whole build gets an 8. Not a fan of the bash or destickered(?) forks. [/Quote]
I know it's a big old bash ring, and the forks aren't destickered they are old Revelation's and you can't see the stickers but they are there, but thanks for the 8.

8/10 for the custom paint job.

2012 Nomad w/Rp23 shakira coating
2010 Marz MicroTi
Sun Ringle Charger Pro
Bontrager FR4's
CB Iodine Carbon bars 760mm
Thomson X4 50mm stem
Avid Elixir CR brakes with 185s. Waiting for New XT brakes to get here
Kind shock LEV Integra Post
Selle Italian xc Flow seat
E.13 cranks 34tooth sprocket

Love the bike. Seems I'm finding the limits of the RP23 though. Looking to a CCDB Air so I can dial in the high and low speed compression.
