Lol, I havent had one nice day which I've been riding though. Its either been snowy or muddy. Still fun none the less. So far, ive managed to make my front derailleur cable explode and rip out my front break lever while crashing off a snow jump while wearing mittens.

It's on the travel limit at the front but it can still go uphill easy and down like a dh bike. Love 'er.

*edit*

for trails I don't have the saddle like that, or the geometry for that matter.

I love Orange bikes. I think it's because I used to have an English guitar amp that was also branded "Orange". The 66 is a tried and true bike. Weight?

Yea I was just talking to hummeroid about this, he said it never turns out to what you expect. I did do the calculations though and I cant remember exactly what it ended up to be, but I just guessed that it would be 2-3. 3 pounds would be pushing it but I could see 1.5 easily. Thanks for the comment though.

I just thought I'd remind everybody that I'm winning at 32 lbs.Big Grin

Edit: I also tweaked the "rules" on page 1 a little. Smile

AqBf, over what period of time did that bike come to where it is now? what was the first thing you changed from the way it was when you got it? Do you pedal it up much?

Hummeroid, anything you'd do differently on that build if you were to start from scratch? Or are you stoked up to the top for now?

If I was to do it again, possibly higher gearing, and a different rear hub, and a 7/6 rotor setup. The ultra low granny (22 front, 34 rear) on it right now makes me feel like a pansy when I use it, and your cadence is too fast when in tech rock gardens to keep balance. I may put a road cassette on when I kill this one. As for the hub, it's from my last bike, and has a little more lash than I'd like. Its still good, so it too may get replace WHEN it breaks. Neither of those are big enough flaws for me to do anything about, its just being picky. As for the brakes, what it has now is a 210/203 setup. Since I transferred the Saint hub from the last bike, I transferred the rotor too. The last bike couldnt clear a 6 inch Saint, so I had to go to 8 since Saint has no 7 inch rotor. The rear has way too much lockup potential, and both are so damn big that they are easy to bend. THAT I might actually change before anything goes wrong with them.

How about you Shondo? Any hairline cracks in your sculpture?
