A truly deserving 10 there mate! I doubt you'll ever be able to break the head on that beast even with those huge forks!

its a great ride u got there!! but the forks ruin it for me :(
im never sure abt triple crown forks on a hardtail, its just gonna spoil the geometry!!
orangemsisle replied... on 9 February 2009
It doesn't spoil the geo if your riding downhill! Rakes it out so you can do some insanely steep roll-downs =)

decent parts but i cant help but think there shud be a back shock on this . looks a bit weird but probably wonderful
orangemsisle replied... on 29 July 2008
Why should there be a rear shock? 8 inches in the front is plenty...
