No way man... I hate mine: I can earn 3 times as much per hour easily (playing/coaching badminton in a nice warm gym!)

currently building it to be a hardcore little ripper. perfect for uk stuff imo.

sweet commencal, but is it just me or is the rear shock quite close to the lower part of the down tube?

cheers mate, its no-where near finished though.
ive got a whole new spec to go on it from that picture...
new wheels, forks, shock, cranks. everything really.
the shock looks like its really low in the opening because there is enough space built in for a shock with a piggyback. also because they move as the suspension compresses.

damn, thats going to be nuts. Smile

Oops, i forgot about the rising rate and shizzle.

It looks remarkably similar to the 08 supreme DH, did they just steepen up the angles a bit and cut down on the travel?

yeah, its going to be wicked.
im thinking, 66s, DHX5, x9, sunline bars and stem, syncros front wheel, spank royala on pro 2 rear wheel, wet tyres: wetscream/swampthing, e-13 lg1, slx cranks. the full works basically.

they pretty much are a smaller slightly steeper version of the supreme dh, though the head angle is still a relatively slack 66 degrees. not bad. and its got the adjuster thingy on the head tube so you can make it as steep as 68.

I had the pair for £180 but I think you can get jsut the back/front wheel. Mine are in red but I'm preety sure you can get them in white or black aswell. Do you know Julien, the guy who built kilvey track? He rides them and if you've seen him ride and they haven't buckled, dented etc, then you'll know that they aint half bad Razz

Heres mine:
