*** at *** in Surrey, United Kingdom - photo by typecaRl

And now its complete :-) Just awaiting Maxxis Highrollers to turn up 2moz then gonna ride it with the coil DHX and see how I get on. And then try the DHX air I got to see which one suits me best. Oh and Weight as you see it here. 34 pounds. Ok will change a bit with the highrollers but if I was to go DHX air I reckon 33 pounds maybe less even with the highrollers. Well pleased with that :D

looks sweet man, forts look pretty mental with like the dual crown thing going on....

typecaRl (Jan 23, 2009 at 11:33)

Yeh Im well chuffed. The idea of the dual crown is to make em stiffer. Forks tend to flex slightly under braking (try twisting) This is why the bolt thru axle came about. But having the dual arch as well makes em even stronger :-) And they are bloody light as well which you wouldnt expect by looking at em.

Cheers mate. Im well pleased with it. Havent even rode it yet lol. Just finished it in my living room 2nite lol. Just waiting for the Maxxis Highrollers. Hopefully turn up 2moz. Then just need to adjust the brakes slightly and give the chain a good clean as it came off my Trek. But not worn out so Im determind to get my moneys worth out of it lol. And then shes all ready to go

what did you do with the trek?

typecaRl (Jan 22, 2009 at 15:29)

Selling the frame and fork and some other bits and bobs to a guy. Pretty much dead certain sale. He just wants to ride it first so I have built it up for him with his bits from his bike.

lol i would have maybe taken the frame from you

typecaRl (Jan 22, 2009 at 15:35)

oh. Sorry mate. Kinda already had this guy lined up. lol. It will be perfect for him. Hes a customer at the shop where I work. He has been looking for a nice full sus for a while. And he loves Trek as he currently has a Trek hardtail which he has had for years.

It's kool I wasn't desperate if someone else is interested I would step aside let them take it happily just would have been a nice xc bike for me:P

typecaRl (Jan 22, 2009 at 15:38)

Well you will be the first to know if the sale does go belly up for whatever reason. But like I say he is pretty keen.
