Guaranteed to turn heads and attract ladies on the trail day or night because this frame is so bright it glows in the freekin' dark. It's so bright in fact I couldn't resist buying it in the first place, it sat in the stand for a couple months while I figured out what the heck I was going to do with it.
It's setup with 26" wheels 'cause I'm old school like that. The Fox 40s have brand new lowers and a fresh service. I was too busy monster trucking the thing through chunder to get around to converting them to 650b lowers. The rims are tubeless ready but, again, I'm old school and couldn't bring myself to run them fancy things. If I didn't ride with extra tubes in my bag I would never have an excuse to stop and talk to people with flat tires and that's the most socializing I get these days. The rear shock is a Cane Creek Double Barrel, fresh from a rebuild, it's even got that fancy sleeve on it to keep your spring from rubbing the shock body. It has an official Cane Creek 450x3.0 spring on it too. The brakes are Saints and I love 'em, but they've put me on my face on a few occasions with those 8" rotors. The bars are carbon because why the hell not, once I made it to needing them I was in way over my head with the build and was hemorrhaging money every which way.
But the seat! I know it doesn't look like much, but that seat is worth its weight in gold. That seat came off a retirees road bike and it's soaked with the sweat and experience of hundreds upon thousands of kilometers, which will transfer to you as soon as you sit on it. It is the source of this bicycles power. In fact I might just keep it. We can talk about that I guess. Also it's connected to a carbon seat post, cause I was building a mountain bike not a motorcycle and I had to shed some grams somewhere.
