Hello. I love this. Needs black fork though.

bobj (Feb 21, 2013 at 10:20)

I like the white

But cheers

cyfa89 (Feb 21, 2013 at 10:27)

Thats ok then. Thats what id do. I see you do have other touches of white but i dont feel its justified to have a white fork. Looks out of place.

bobj (Feb 21, 2013 at 10:33)

Yeah man i agree the black would be cleaner. But i think the white still suits it so it's staying

bobj (Feb 21, 2013 at 12:47)

thanks dude!

skunkape (Feb 26, 2013 at 20:08)

I hate you...

bobj (Feb 27, 2013 at 2:02)

love you too

skunkape (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:39)

and i thought I had some pretty nice bikes

bobj (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:40)

You do bro

bobj (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:41)

You change them far too often though

skunkape (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:41)

The rampant should be done pretty soon, getting a reba rlt ti, king headset to match my hubs and yeah....

skunkape (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:42)

I always trade them up though, only do it if its a good deal.

bobj (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:43)

Sounds awesome! Reba got a 20mm axle? Sounds light as fawk!

Just fitted a temporary 180mm disc to this. Realised the rear 203 was kinda overkill. Waiting on the icetech 180's to come back in stock

Only saved just over 0.1lbs with the switch including ti bolts though

bobj (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:44)

and i know dude haha. need to keep the rampant though, it's hot as fuck!

skunkape (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:45)

I will probably keep the rampant, I also just got a 2008 capital:p

bobj (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:45)

Haha sweet. Any reason? Gonna be your street machine?

skunkape (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:47)

Yes, haha. Well I bought a molosse without any forks for super cheap and was going to swap the parts over but the molosse is in alot better condition than I thought and it has a longer top tube....which is nice since I am hella tall.

bobj (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:48)

Ah sweet. How tall are you?

skunkape (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:49)

6'5 and growing.

bobj (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:51)

Hella tall is fair enough. haha damn son. I'm 6'2 and thought i'm tall

This medium is a little short for me, but i love that

skunkape (Feb 27, 2013 at 7:53)

The medium soda fr was way too small for me, as was the soda slope. The long rampant feels nice though, just need to get that thing dialled. Unsure of brakes yet though...

bobj (Feb 27, 2013 at 8:08)

Shimano all the things!
