Maybe see you at C.O.P. before season ends. Can't really miss me on that bike. Just a couple of tweaks and it will be ready for Fernie this weekend.

Just getting it checked over at the local bike shop, make sure I didn't screw anything up. Some of the componenets from the Kona were not compatible with the Giant. Polish it up when I get it back tonight , then off to Fernie to shred . Hit the big 46 tomorrow, yikes. The natural finish is cool, no paint to scratch. You gonna make it up this Summer? getting pretty late in the season, most lift access parks are shutting down after the long weekend. Next year? Hope to see you soon buddy.

Yeah, it's gonna have to be next season for me... that knee surgery threw off my whole summer. I still cant believe I paid $300 for a season pass to Mammoth and havent gotten to go once!Facepalm Managed a couple trips to Summit at least though, next year's all about the push north!.. Fernie's calling my name, lol.

Easy to rehab up here 'cause ya can't really bike in the winter. Surgery sucks, next year you'll be back and better.
Later

I got the frame from a guy in Invermere, I guess the paint was getting chipped from shuttling so he stripped it down. I just put a Ti spring on it yesterday and am going to try it out today. Not sure on the weight. Next time I get it in for any service I'll have the guys weigh it and I will post the weight with the picture. Happy trails!

It's a rocket, way faster and smoother than the Stab. Almost ate it a couple of times 'cause I was going way fast. Knocked the top off of a berm on Top Gun on closing weekend. Gonna hit Kicking Horse this weekend for closing, YEEHA

It was already done when I got it. Maestroforlife here on pinkbike is who I got it from. Try looking him up on here and ask him, I think he stripped it.
