Finally finished the build and took it for a ride- Holy wow… I knew it was going to be a great bike, but DAMN.
Last night, I could barely sleep thinking about taking it out in the morning. I woke up early and packed the car to go out for a lap at Stanky Creek. I figured I’d try the fork at 120mm and see how it felt. The start was a little tentative, but soon I was going full bore over roots and into the twisty stuff- a couple of times to the point of where I got going pretty damn fast before I realized that I was a couple of MPH over my comfort zone. I know it sounds Niner ad cliche, but holy crap does this bike climb! I didn’t use the propedal setting at all, and didn’t notice pedal bob- even when standing and “singlespeeding” it up a couple of hills.
Going this fast will take a little getting used to…
HOT!
nice element
Reminds me of the Smokey and the Bandit Trans-Am! Beautiful! Plug those bars~
nicest RDO I have seen yet. Well done ! Did you re-anodize the pivot bolts, or where did you source them ?
