It came together rather quickly. :) Still have get cables and do the final adjusting. The wheels and brake rotors will change. Right now it has 203mm rotors up front and back. Couldn't find my 185mm rotor. So brakes are kinda overkill :) I left some slack in the brake lines where you can do full bar spin. :P

Mostly for XC/AM type riding. Maybe goofing around Bakers. :) Trials where you don't really need the long travel I was hoping to try some Super-D racing this year and thought a Double would be a better candidate than my Dirt Bag. But with my injury I don't think I will happen this year. I'm hoping to do the last two DH racers in the Winter Series. It's still Nikoniko's bike - I'm just watching it for him. :P

I like how the stance feels with the 100mm forks. The front doesn't feel too high or too low. Won't know for sure until I'm healthy enough to ride it. :(

Haha! Now he doesn't have an excuse not to ride with us! :lol:

It's doing better. I sat on the bike the other day and was able to rotate the cranks backwards. There was still some slight discomfort. But I was not able to do that a week ago :) Hoping in the next 2 weeks I will be healthy enough to just ride on pavement. :)

Thank you, Momo-san! :tup: Nikoniko-san: Interesting (creative?) packing material! :P It arrived pretty fast! Thanks! Build will begin soon! 8)

Not sure which is more fun -- doing the build or riding the build :) BOTH! :P
