I have created this group for owners wanting to show their pride and people interested in getting a capital.
This amazing bike carries a past history that many have compared other bikes to. If you have ever owned one than you know how special it is . This frame designed by Erenes has become one of controversy and praise with each new design bettering the one before it in the MTB street world. It not only is a great street frame but also works well in park and dirt. just have to get use to the little bugger lol
So enjoy , post up
New spot

Great vid!
i have always wondered about your seat lol.. Looks awesome though tup
Well I have been asked a lot about how the hell I can run pegs on my RNS fork. I think I see why now.
Here is a pic of the old RNS fork. As you can see it is straight and gives no room for peg clearance.

Even though they list that pegs will not work. I have ran them and here you can see that the bottom of the fork is angled and pegs fit fine and the crop out is longer in apperance but yet still the same rake/offset . I will later post a pic of the pegs installed on mine close up.
