Finally, the T-Bird is complete!! I still need a longer bolt to mount my rear peg, so it is pegless for now. f*cking great bike, amazing geo!! Thanks to the people that helped, and a big f*ck YOU to the manager of Bike Depot!! (thanks anyways to Leon and buddy regardless). I'm gonna go ride this thing some more. 28 lbs 5 oz confirmed.

it looks so nice, any idea on the weight? I just got a scale from crappy-tire today, and I have some disappointing results for my riot, but that's alright, just more reason to buy more light parts

Support the bike economy. This bike was NOT built weight consciously and it weighs in at 28 lbs 5 oz confirmed. How much does your Riot weigh?
, BUT with my new tires, bar/stem and a 710sl I'll get'r down a bit.- 2 0
Holy shit dude. My Dob weighed about the same at one point. The Vajesty should weigh in around 25 (if it ever arrives).

I calibrate mine often enough to know it's accurate, but in all fairness, CR had one that was off. You should calibrate it with something that you 100% know the weight of. Then you know if it's accurate or not. Word.

Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. The mental picture of that is hilarious. Topped only by the thought of you cleaning butter off the hook afterwards.

lol I just did it, my moms a little pissed but it said 1 lb flat and yes it was a little messy, but I just wiped it off:P

"yes it was a little messy, but I just wiped it off" .....That's what she said!!
Well in that case I have good and bad news: Good: Your scale is accurate. Bad: You Riot weighs 30 lbs.

it's alright though, I am very motivated to buy stuff, lots of stuff.- 2 0
I thought you were doing up a Majesty. You already have a Dobermann. You have a Pike, a 36, and now appaerntly a 4X. You REALLY confuse me.

Still waiting on the Vajesty. I just really like bikes and trying different parts. How is that confusing? Creating bikes is what makes me happy, why stop?

It is very confusing to me. I suppose I approach things the opposite way, I figure out exactly what I like and spend thousands getting to that one place. It is cool though. Motivating me to build a Norco....

This is how I figure out exactly what I like. I'm glad I built a new bike today because I learned that Eastern frames are really good for manuals because they have short stays and dropouts. I also learned that a lowered, stiff 4X feels almost like rigid, but without the numb wrists. I learned that my FireEye's are too short without spacers, and that the NS District bars feel better. This is how I form opinions and preferences for bike products. Yes, it's a bit expensive and excessive, but my happiness knows no budget lol. This is just how I roll.

My career (not job, career). It pays well. In all fairness, this is the only thing I really spend money on too.

Have fun dude. Holla at me on friday, we'll shred in the evening if anything. You won't get to see the Dob for a while, she's out of comission for now.

wow, you should deff flip that stem, it'll ride way better, it's really hard to do tricks on a chopper.

With all due respect, I'm 6'4", I can't ride too tiny of a bike. I had shorter bars (3") on before and it was a bit too cramped for me. It feels better for my height now.

and considering that the fork is lowered under 80mm, higher rise bars would be suitable.
so what happened between you and the owner of bike depot?

I hate to say it, but I think the Geo is better on the T-Bird. I love my Dob, but the geo on this bike is perfect!!
- 1 0
Oh wow, i didn't expect that answer, i figured a may buy a dob sometime but wasn't sure about the geo
- 2 0
Don't get me wrong, the Dob has great geo. The T-Bird just has perfect geo. I was very surprised by this frame.

4X weighs more than 5 lbs (despite it's claimed weight), the Rims (AtomLab PIMP) and Front Tire is heavy (2.35 SB
. Also, no Ti spindle. This bike is nothing but heft.

I spent shiiiiiiit on this build. The drivetrain was the only thing that cost me any real money. I love the way this bike feels though. I took it to the jumps today and to be honest, I like the geo better than my Dob. I'm shocked!!
- 2 1
It shreds so far. Prefect manual geometry (short). I want to go hit some jumps with it in a few minutes. It needs to see dirt (home).

.....also considering I made no effort to weight weenie this bike. Mehhhhh, it's fun!!
(It was 6lbs with a BB installed, and the 4X does feel heavier than my Pike but has waaaaaayyyyyy less flex and I love how it rides)
