Ver nice!
it's called a joke, and it all when whistling over your heads. all aboard the neg prop train kiddos!
seriously dudes. how many people are actually going to get worked up because someone else online decided to use silver spokes? use your brains.

So it turns out that silver spokes look really good in pictures. I think they rock. I also think you are entitled to your opinion and I respect it. 
3'' rise is fairly common... sick build trev, cant wait to ride with ya, just need to finish my ride up.
That is 3.4" rise, they are quite tall. I am about to put on a slightly shorter (and lighter) stem. I am still trying to dial this bike the way I want it, but I love it so far!! Thanks Leon!!
I am changing the stem in a few minutes (the DLD is too tall), the Fox will be painted this week sometime, it's proper wheels will be here in June, etc......

This build will be going through a few stages. I have to weigh it sometime soon to get a starting point weight.

That is a lowered Argyle that will be on there until the Fox is painted. To be honest, I am not that impressed with the Argyle as a fork.
Thanks!! There are new bars on the way, but I like these bars too much to get rid of them. I'm keeping them, sorry.
Thanks buddy. At some point I am going use my touch up paint and make the M into a V.
.....She's still a bit new to be vandalizing right now though.
OMG man, you have a dob and Thunderbird and a majesty , all my favorite frames, and there are all soooo sick, how do you have so many AMAZING bikes!, and which one has the best geo the t-bird or the Majesty ?
Yeah, but the Dob got looted for parts and so did the T-Bird. They will all be rolling some day when they don't have to share parts. I am still changing shit around on the Vajesty, but as far as my favorite Geo, I may have to say the T-bird for now (but we'll see once I have ridden the Vajesty for a bit). Good question, but I don't have a complete answer yet.
Majesty or T-Bird. As a tall man I will say the Majesty feels nicer. The T-bird is awesome, but a bit cramped for my tall self.
Correct and it's poo. I realized why I like my Pike more. The floodgate is key. The I can't set the Argyle stiff enough for my liking. The compression set as hard as it goes and the bottom half of the travel is too mushy. It's just awful. To anyone thinking of buying a 318, save your money. I am happy this was used, if I bought it new I would be pissed lol.
you soft man thats not even light learn to build light bikes.
NOT!!!
i need to change my undies now....

Right now I am running temporary hubs and rims, but they will be 721's laced to Rotary hubs front and rear. The frame was too much.
They are just a smaller company trying to deal with an extremely high demand. I don't blame NS, I just wait patiently.
very nice rig dude, although brakeless makes me question your sanity =P
I'm definitely digging the all black.

Thanks dude. Brakeless is a bit nutty at times. This bike will get a brake some day. For now, weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
haha, it wouldn't be so bad if you put it on a truck or in the back of a car and took it to a skate park and rode it... but I would never ride brakeless on the street... I almost die WITH brakes, so without them I'd be toast haha.
That's fair. I have a lot of close calls. I almost hit a (moving) car last night trying to dodge pedestrians. Good times!!
XD, damn pedestrians. Always getting in the way.
Probably the biggest close call I've had lately was coming inches away from moto-whipping a cop in the chest haha. I was hucking off a set of stairs on my FR rig and he walked out of nowhere. >.

LOL "Pig Whip!!"
My first day brakeless, I hit a drunk chick who stumbled in front of me last second. It f*cked us both up pretty badly, then I called her a "stupid drunken c*nt" and rode away. I don't feel bad about it because I gave her plenty of room and it was completely her fault. (Even with brakes I would have destroyed her!!). I almost broke my hand and she at the very least got a nasty concussion and a really f*cked up shoulder. And here I am months later, still riding brakeless (and loving it!!). In all fairness the Dob still has brakes for when I need a bike that stops.

haha nice, I hate people like that...
Oh yea that's right, you have like 50 million bikes. I almost forgot haha.

I don't have the heart to low-ball you. I also don't think it would be right for me to take Molly from you. When your bike has a name, that is your bike and shouldn't belong to others.
Edit: If there is one thing I have learned it is this...... f*ck money, your knees only work for so long. Remember that.
Not a super hardcore fan, but they got some good tunes. Ah yea ok, knew it didn't sound right haha.
yea true... I'm keeping the big bike for sure. I use it the most. Unfortunately the one I'm most ATTACHED to is the one that's not used as much, not worth as much, and was bought mostly for a spare/commuter bike. =(
I'd probably use it more if I could manage to find some damn 3" rise bars anywhere in this so called 'mtb-mecca'... not a single shop I have been to has any, or would order me in some.

you're telling me...
I may just break down and mail Dob some more cash to send me some. I haven't heard anything at all about the Dob bars though... =/

Which bike show? all Vancouver had was "the BC outdoor and adventure show" which barely had any bike companies this year... we got specialized, fireeye, scott, some local bike shops and guides, and then adidas. =/
ooooh ok, yea wasn't able to head out there. I would have liked to though, dad worked for air canada so I get dirt cheap plane tix. =P
Hopefully if I clear up this debt and everything... I'll be able to go ride les gets and morzine this summer, would be truly epic going from riding whistler, straight onto a plane, and riding that scene. *wipes drool away*
Too heavy until I get the proper fork and rims on. I weighed it the other day, and I don't know if I want to share that number. It's light, but I'm not happy yet. When it has it's proper parts I will post up a scale shot.

I'm going to sell it really cheap to someone who wants to make a Pargyle or replace the seals. I have already had a few people show interest.
cause my pargyle has broken lowers and could use some sprucing up, I personally love the feel of them and would prefer it over rigid, so let me know what kind of price your thinkin... we could deal
The offer as it stands now is $100. It it a lowered 318 with shaved mounts that was re-painted black. Looks hawt. Has a blown seal for sure. If you feel like bettering that, its yours.
I'm down, I have some good seals, and backup 318 internals already incase anything needs fixing haha
tearing apart and re building forks is fun anyway... ill probably drop it to 60-70,make it nice and stiff they make the perfect park fork
the saturday after next, so like 12 days now, pumped! but theres a 2 week period in there where im not working so well make a date

Nope. The Vajesty has a brake, so does the Dob. I really do love brakeless, but sometimes I just gotta stop.

haha, beat it, i got 126 faves right know
http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/3646292/ your bike is really sweet too! 
Of course you have more faves, you have the color scheme that everyone wants at the moment. I won't lie, I would rock that shit. Your bike is sick dude. Mine looks like poo, but it rides great. For a stealth bike, this has a lot of views. Your bike is a guaranteed click because it stands out even as a thumbnail. Word.
But it helps it get that initial click. My bike gets passed by, not many people will miss your bike in a sea of thumbnails. Word.
