The gold bars are the right call, this red one has to go.
Is it just me or does the fork look weird?
Why are the stanchions so high above the top of the head tube?

derekdirtrider (Sep 29, 2011 at 21:45)

I think the head tube is just really short and its a zero stack headset. The red bars are off my other bike because I wasn;t able to get the gold ones in time to race this weekend. I'm trying to find someone who has the gold ones in stock.

Gold, black or blue would all look good.
Wasn't sure about the 00 frame color for 2012 but it's starting to grow on me.

Yeah looks way better in person. I was pretty iffy about it too but once I opened the box i was very impressed.

which rims are u intending to use?

i'm also gettin the 0. but currently I'm not that happy with the r2c2. what exactly made u go for the fox?

Thanks man!
I'm just not a sram fan and the 40 matched better than the 888 so I got the 40 haha wheels I'm still not sure of, probably blue industry 9 hubs with gold spokes laced to either mavic ex823's if I decide to go tubeless or white atomlab pimplites with tubes.

ACE !! I'm quite curious how it will look when it's finished ....

derekdirtrider (Oct 5, 2011 at 16:04)

I'll post another pic up when I'm done. Ended up going with blue Hadley hubs, mavic ex823, and I'm gonna do black spokes with gold nipples.

You liking those bars much? I' considering them in my next DJ build and would get them in 1" rise.

derekdirtrider (Apr 3, 2012 at 3:29)

Yeah I love em. Got two sets of them (both low rise) but never had and problems and I like the way they feel. A bit wide for my dj bike but If you aren't bar spinning or anything like that you should be good. Or you can cut them cause they're premarked down to like 660mm I believe

Sweep, good good they seem pretty awesome!

I dont even ride downhill and this easily the cleanest ride i have seen on here. Youre a lucky guy!!

derekdirtrider (Dec 13, 2011 at 7:35)

Thanks man! I'm really glad I got the chance to build it up.

stewridesbmx (Dec 13, 2011 at 14:49)

You did an awesome job! Ever find a pair of gold bars to put on it?

derekdirtrider (Dec 13, 2011 at 14:56)

yeah i did. I got a couple picture of it with the new bars. They don't really match the gold on the bike though. Thinking about switching to blue or white or maybe even just black.
