Looks good. But how's it ride? Like on a trail, not around a parking lot. Oh wait.......hahahaha. I joke I joke I kid I kid. But seriously its still a trek. Still cant believe you did that, how could you? I'll bring mi bicicleta out this summer and show you how to really shred haha

Mate this looks sick. This is how my bike would look if I got a session frame. How does it compare to your old glory? does this ride better?

That seatclamp makes me happy!

Why did Trek slit the frame where they did?

whattheheel (Feb 23, 2011 at 14:44)

Prolly so you don't have to do as much of a clamping force? There are three of them. www.twenty6products.com Or hit me up if you want one. 18 grams

MRP FTW, but did you slacken it or steepen it? Looks uber steep still...

And C'mon, man...Even I have a Ti hollow pin chain!

whattheheel (Feb 23, 2011 at 15:26)

A degree amd a half slacker. Doesn't look like it but you can feel the wheel flop. And meh on the chain. I got a gold chain, I'm like yo man.

dirteveryday (Feb 23, 2011 at 15:33)

Mine's gold...AND hollow. FINALLY! I'm almost enough of a pimp to show up at Terry! But I'm still no flat-billed gangsta, so maybe not...might just have to stick with quietly rippin through the woods...

Gold and hollow, the way to go!

sick session man! in my opinion these freeride coloured frames looked better than the DH, and you dont see very many of them

rigodon777 (Feb 23, 2011 at 15:18)

Looking SERIOUSLY good with the cranks!

whattheheel (Feb 23, 2011 at 15:27)

Thanks I am digging them so far. Some flaws but otherwise cool.

rigodon777 (Feb 23, 2011 at 15:28)

Wait.. Flaws?

whattheheel (Feb 23, 2011 at 15:31)

Well the bb cups are huge and the boomerang for the guide won't slide over it so you have to remove the cup to remove the guide. Then the big ass cups get in the way when you try and tighten down the boomerang. Smaller bolts or some time on the grinder would help. And the crank arm bolt was retarded tight. They do spin smooth and look tits tho.

I hear that their flex path is patented, but the Descendents copied it anyways. And wait a second, MRP guide and E13 cranks? With that Evo link? Dave Weagle is fuming right now.

whattheheel (Feb 23, 2011 at 15:35)

I know huh. I just went with the lighter of the two but Now that you say that I do feel kind of cool.

rigodon777 (Feb 23, 2011 at 15:34)

I hear ya.. Sounds like a pretty dumb problem they created.

comacruz (Feb 23, 2011 at 17:24)

Holy upgraditis! The new parts are looking sweet.

juanhall (Feb 23, 2011 at 21:20)

P.S. Everything looks dope besides the frame. Just wanted to clarify

captainbringdown Mod (Feb 23, 2011 at 16:11)

wildkona (Mar 15, 2011 at 10:09)

Yup you need a vivid air and then you're set!

whattheheel (Mar 15, 2011 at 11:15)
