Great bike i had the 06 model with 66's.its amazing to ride.
i would change to race face bars and stem like bearclaw.
looks great in the roam colour's.
Thanks Sam. Weighs about 38lbs stock, this is around 35. Strengths - great fun to ride, pedal it uphill, good for aggressive xc, great for freeride and downhill. I've had a think but I honestly can't think of a weakness other than the seat tube could be longer - had to hack some of my seat post off as it wouldn't go low enough.
I saw one of these in a shop and the photos really don't do the paint job justice, but I've heard mixed reactions on the ride, but then someone I know did Mutha Hucker at Leith on one of these so it can't be all bad at taking hits and the bloke at Esher said it was alright at going uphill too for its size which is handy in this country!
I think that the frame is really cool. The paint is like the demo you can win from "The Collective," wicked. Are those forks 2008 55r's because it would be good to know what they are like as I am thinking about getting some! Grips, pedals and saddle are a really cool look. You should be a very proud owner of this beast. Bet she rides well.
Thanks mate. The forks are 2008 55 TST2's - which i think are the same as the 55R but with TST lockout. They're very good for freeride & DH stuff, but not as smooth on the little bumps on trails. I can live with that. Depends what your main style of riding is I guess.
I had big plans for some RS Lyriks but the Marzocchi 55's are really good. Admittedly they're smoother on the rough stuff than the small bumps, but I'd rather that than something that's going to bottom out on a big drop.

Not sure on the frame (in that colour/decals), but those forks look astounding!
arctic303 replied... on 19 May 2008
Looking at photos I wasn't sure either, but saw and it the shop and loved it. The tree graphics don't show up well in pics.
