damn, no matter how much i look at this i can't find something to change... it's... it's just perfect

austenselk (Jan 6, 2015 at 11:23)

Wait, so you're trying to find a fault on my bike?! Shame on you.

Scotj009 (Jan 6, 2015 at 11:26)

i will go sit on the naughty step

austenselk (Jan 6, 2015 at 12:16)

Tsk, tsk.

personally, i'd put a hydraulic gyro on purely to get rid of the hose wrap around the headset, but thats just me. Absolute beauty though mate very tidy bike

Scotj009 (Jan 20, 2015 at 9:16)

meh.... hydro gyros are rubbish!

austenselk (Jan 20, 2015 at 9:38)

I tried that on my p slope and the pull was atrocious with no stopping power and the long steer tube I had to use to make room for the gyro was unrideable in any sort of comfortable way.

austenselk (Jan 20, 2015 at 9:39)

In my experience, I agree!

EmilsV (Jan 20, 2015 at 8:49)

Looks sick! Are those E13 LG1 rims? Wouldn't they break or something from 360's etc.? My friend telled me they would break when do 360 or 720 with them.

austenselk (Jan 20, 2015 at 9:36)

They are actually the TRS+ rim and I wouldn't know as I don't really do tricks other than whips and x ups. But in my opinion I doubt they would hold up to that kind of abuse.

blacked-out!

austenselk (Jan 4, 2015 at 23:06)

Black on black.

This is how I imagine perfect possible ht play bike.

austenselk (Jan 5, 2015 at 13:10)

It's darn near perfect. Although I am constantly tinkering away. If you wanted to see what my p slope looked like before I took those components off of it and put them on to this. Here is a link.

Did anyone else get here because of Downhill memes?

austenselk (Jan 20, 2015 at 10:06)

Odd to say the least.

terrythemessenger (Jan 20, 2015 at 11:29)

Can you loosen the banjo on the caliber and hide the brakehose behind the seatstay? Sweet ride..

austenselk (Jan 20, 2015 at 11:38)

I'm sure I could, but I was never too worried as to how it looked. Thanks. I loved the feel of it and combined with the Rockshox Pike DJ, that thing was stiff and beautiful.

I hope you turned the rotor around on the new frame.

austenselk (Jan 21, 2015 at 18:52)

I no longer have the rotor.

skunkape (Jan 4, 2015 at 19:31)

So nice

austenselk (Jan 4, 2015 at 21:05)

What looks nice on one frame, is bound to look good on another frame.

Ciabek (Jan 4, 2015 at 19:40)

amazing!

austenselk (Jan 4, 2015 at 21:05)

Thanks.

andreipopatgm (Jan 6, 2015 at 4:17)

Awesome!

austenselk (Jan 6, 2015 at 7:00)

Thanks.

sonscp (Jan 20, 2015 at 10:39)

Nice bike!

austenselk (Jan 20, 2015 at 10:41)

Thanks. Too bad I sold the frame.

sonscp (Jan 20, 2015 at 10:43)

What will be new?

austenselk (Jan 20, 2015 at 10:45)

Moved a different discipline to try something new. A 2015 Devinci Troy Carbon.

sonscp (Jan 20, 2015 at 11:10)

great!

austenselk (Jan 20, 2015 at 11:27)

I'm hoping so.
