Yeah, at least Rock Shox is being super-cool tho, and just sending a replacement fork right off the bat! Which is great cause the season is on here, and I don't want the down-time of sending stuff back...

I was referring to the fact that they're all nice parts, but look horrible together on your bike.

Ouch! I clearly disagree, and you're the first person to say that. Everybody's entitled to an opinion, I guess it's good you don't have to look at it every day. But I do, and I LOVE it. Sometimes after I ride I just stand in my garage drooling at it's magnificence...

Yes, it is good that I don't have to look at it every day. I think that the colors would look more normal to me if it were a 26" wheel instead of a 24". It's that gap between the tire and fork arch that do it.

Well, when I get the replacement fork it'll be lowered to 80 from 100mm, but that won't help the gap between the tire and fork... but if that's seriously your reason for not liking the looks of this bike, u're just graspin' dude...

Aesthetically it's a pretty big issue for me. I prefer visually succinct bikes.

Succinct, as in "to the point"? You think it's too complicated? I'm just resigning to the opinion that you have different taste, although it appears you're trying to act like it's the execution rather than your taste but, but I call BS. The fact that you're the lone critic in a sea of compliments I've gotten on the build says something...

BS would be if I were lying. I'm not lying, your bike is ugly to me. Sorry if I'm the only person commenting on here over the age of 15.

Actually the implication was that anyone under the age of 15 is going to find this bike amazing and aesthetically pleasing because kids follow trends these days, and bright colors that don't match are "in."

yeah, what's worse than a HS fad right...
hmmm cept maybe like a keyboard-toughguy with simple, boring taste looking for ways to waste peoples time pushing his jealous opinions in a vocabulary he tries so desparately to comprehend, but alas...

i've seen ur style dood, and it's just as conforming as those u claim to b above.
get a life, and get off my page...

flag twowheelshredder (Apr 2, 2009 at 22:43)
oh and it may not be ur "style" (wich is just about as edgy and non-conforming as the blk & gry dagger on ur forearm), but it does match... perfectly

and yes i know there are 2 shades of green, but i also know that the chain and frame-fade act to merge the two...

That's nice. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Mine is that your bike is ugly. Yours is that you know everything. Oh and by the way, it's "your," not "ur."

A new fork would make it look much better IMO.

I'll look into the grips when these wear-out. They've gotta be bolt-on tho, and does the green get all nasty lookin'? I have white ones too but I think I may send them back cause they're stained just from looking at 'em...
The rims are PIMP too! I've been casin' stuff, landing super tweaked-out on pavement even and dialing in my 90 and 270's (kidding, I just suck at spins, so they often go wrong...) yet only re-trued once after the first few rides, and they hardly needed it then. They're all the rim I need, and at 565g's you can't go wrong! Also, chainreactioncycles has a "B decal" version on sale for ~34 right now! It has a yellow decal instead of white. Dunno if that was a mix up, but for half price, I wish they were available when I got mine! The only negative about the rim would be the joint. Not that it matters on a bike, but the joint is heavier and causes an imbalance. You only really notice when it rotates to the bottom while in the air (until you get a chain on). Seems strong enough tho, for now...
