Haha thanks for the comments guys, I understand what Rigaud is saying, this is definitly not for everyone.

But yes I have already taken into account the Difference in caliper to rotor length, its about 1 3/8" difference which is fairly significant.

I am going to be running a 140mm adapter with a 160mm rotor and a few less washers than the avid standard.

Hey, So I finally got the paint dialed in and I also managed to get down to Cove Bikes and get some replacement decals for the frame! The whole process came together amazing!

Paint is Finished!:

My Fox Rp2 Rear shock arrived today as well!

I am going to be beadblasing the linkage plates aswell as my rims and a few other parts to have a nice red/silver color scheme!

Let me know what you guys think and if theres any other cool changes to the frame you think would be good.

I think he addressed that issue at the beginning of the thread...

can you weld at all? if so, perhaps cut out a slot and mount an integrated seatpost clamp? would look pretty trick. also if you can, fully cutout the cnc-ed stuff in the linkage, would save alot of weight and look awesome.

yeah thats a cool idea dude, like on the linkage plates? Or even do a cool design with holes with a drill or something.
But how much would that weaken it haha.

And I wish I had access to a welder!

i was gonna say just drill a few holes in between the cove letters, then use a file to make spaces. leave most of the strength, but lose alot of weight at the same time. and im sure you could find a local fab. shop that would braze it on for cheap.
