Sweet build, dont see an M-Pire build like that everyday. Curious why you opted for that frame for that type of build?

brentjj (Jun 11, 2009 at 19:40)

Opted? Like chose? I'm racing O-cup so it suits pretty good. Adjustable travel in the rear from 6 - 8.75 inches and the fork is at 160mm. I have it set at 6 inches now so it has some good geo with that fork. And I have the build pretty light too, around 40 pounds. Not bad for a 12 pound frame without a shock. I'm going down to the shop tomorrow to get a for sure weight.

i like it. needs some stickers or something on the frame though. looks kind of plain with just the white.

me2menow (Jun 11, 2009 at 19:47)

damn. whats the weight on that??

brentjj (Jun 11, 2009 at 19:55)

Around 40 pounds. Going to get a acurate weight tomorrow at the shop.

me2menow (Jun 11, 2009 at 19:56)

holy crap really? what wheels you got on there?

brentjj (Jun 11, 2009 at 19:57)

Syncros DSP. The frame alone weighs 12 pounds so I'm happy with the weight.

me2menow (Jun 11, 2009 at 20:31)

oh wow, haha
maybe putting on a big fork and using all potential wouldnt be a bad idea then?

lambdarider (Jun 12, 2009 at 0:14)

for sure this m-pire looks nice but in my opinion the fork is to short for this frame , can´t belive that the geo fits!
if you ride such an nicolai->weight is not the most importent

woow brent thats looking soooo awesome! thats gonna be an awesome ride

Joekvanmechelen (Jun 12, 2009 at 6:12)

Nice man! But you need a bigger fork. The frame was intended for 180>200mm of travel

brentjj (Jun 12, 2009 at 8:32)

It has adjustable travel and adjustable geo so i think the fork is fine. It feels good any ways.

thats f*ckin kick ass

crazygeorge (Jun 12, 2009 at 8:23)

Crazyness...i wish I knew how that linkage worked....

brentjj (Jun 12, 2009 at 8:31)

It looks confusing but it works great. I find it has just a bit more padal bob then my Giant with the Maestro. It's like a single pivot that pulls on 4 bars, the 4 bars pull an arm and the arm moves the shock.

crazygeorge (Jun 12, 2009 at 8:43)

So the wheel path ends up single pivot, but the shock stroke is controlled like a 4 bar?

brentjj (Jun 12, 2009 at 9:12)

Exactly, not like the Marin 4 bar though. More like the Knolly bar system.

How much was it? I've always wanted a nicolai.

brentjj (Jul 23, 2009 at 18:48)

I pent $1000 on the frame then probally $3000 in specs. Not bad for the bike that it is, but I still need a bigger fork.

Antron (Jul 24, 2009 at 1:35)

Only $1000?! Was it used? That's a good deal, I want one of their gearbox bikes.

brentjj (Jul 24, 2009 at 8:38)

Yea. The frame is used. I just gave it a new paint job. And last time I looked there was a gearbox bike on here for sale. Razz

Antron (Jul 28, 2009 at 5:11)

nice, you got lucky! Even if there was a used one on here, I probably couldn't afford it...
