beauteous, smooth, featherlight (28,4lbs.), stiff, fast. this bike makes my smile even bigger!!! it´s just pure ecstasy when in downhill-mode. not all-black, you might say!? i don't like that extra-plush of that all popular rs-pike, i prefer the stiffer front, and the 34 deserves it. here you see my build. Do you like a custom bike? stop by and talk to us. we are located in kaiserslautern/ germany, daniel @540, www.fiveforty.de | santacruz nomad
