Changes include the OneUP EDC, WeAreOne Agent 29s, Chepi Duster saddle, and the DVO suspension pieces (Diamond 150, Topaz). Rides like a freaking champ.

The homemade graphics are awesome! Mind providing some insight as to how you did that? Just saw a pic recently on a bike from the Andes Enduro article on PB. Want to do that to my Jeffsy..

I KNEW someone else looked at that and was like "Hey....I can do that....". Best customization idea I've seen in a long time. It was super easy! I just ordered some Racer Tape on Amazon (here) and drew on it with a sharpie. That is literally all.

I had originally planned to draw on the adhesive side of the tape to protect the graphics. However, even if I drew on it and let it sit for 3 hours, it still transferred some of the ink over to the paint, which was a no-go for me. I already had the same frame tape on the frame nearing the end of its useful life, so I just drew on it in some places to see how it would hold up. Worked fine! I'm fully expecting to get a season's worth of riding out of this and have the graphics looking great.

Minus experimentation, the whole process took about 3 hours, which included stripping the old tape off the frame, cutting out the new pieces, the artwork, and installing them (using the baby shampoo/water trick). Faster, cheaper, easier, and WAY cooler than Invisiframe.

Thanks... I got that set of bars for $70 new on ebay, so couldnt be picky because of the savings $$... would have rather had blue or orange. oh well.

Done setting sag and changing over to tubeless.

Finished setting sag tonight, as well as converting to tubeless. Used Gorilla tape to seal rims, as the stock rim tape will not work. Also had to buy a pair of WTB tubeless stems.
