I was beginning to wonder if anyone would go for the full on "Fitty cent" kit.
Just needs some scratches now.
How is the switch?

That looks awesome. Nice job on that. Get out and ride and let us know how it works!

cool, it looks really good.

[hello?]

nice ride

[epock7]

Oh, man that looks really great. I'm so jealous...

[xALmoN]

ooh, bling. very nice. now i'm even more embarrassed to post my bike pics up.

[doctorT]

colors are rediculous.... hot as hell.

i want to see what it would look like with frame/fork/stem/cranks all gold. max bling.

how much time, and how much more money did you have to spend to get the details together with your color scheme, like the levers, and hubs and stuff.

your spokes/maguramounts/funbolts are not black/gold, your bike is a piece... hahaha. and what about that rotor? shite

[hophopsnap]

fuck that is amazing

Do you like how it handles?

[Luriks]

Thanks.
It's not finished yet but is going to be soon. Black cylinders, rear spokes and grips on the way with some gold parts too like bar, clamps, pedals.
I don't think it would look nice with golden frame and fork although I though about it with BT.
Maybe I should get the golden version of sram X.0 rear shifter :momaru: (joke).

I was riding only for couple of hours and it feels ok to me. Everything looks smaller. Pedal kick are easier, big gaps much better now, drops to rear are fantastic. Pedal ups are a bit strange but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Didn't even tried touch hops and taps :ugh: Moves to front wheel felt the same. 360 spin on the rear is strange too. 180 spin on front is easier.
Also don't like the flexy dropouts but it's not so bad. But I'll probably get a booster.
I like it...

^^ there are some very nice bikes in slovenia now!

nice bike, what kind of camera did you use?

[Sondre]

fucking doublepost

[Sondre]

Youve got an amazing ride, its certainley B L I N G

I had one of those brakes before I sold it.. They looks a beast! But going vees is the only way forward ; )

PowerShot A300 :momaru::D

[AndyT]

pretty, so sorry about the +53.

[jmkimmel]

yowza - mad stem spacers. otherwise, looks good. Just imagine if all the gold stuff was black and it'd look like my a1.

[lucky13]

pretty, so sorry about the +53.

my A2 measures out at +63 with 385 cs... Stem makes it feel okay,.. but yea,.. I can see why he would rock the spacers like that.

How do you like your A1 jmkimmel?

[jmkimmel]

molto bene. rear end felt loop-o-matic at first, but I got used to it. I haven't yet dialed stem reach/height, but I'll post pics when I do. I'm still trying to keep my old easton carbon DH bar, so my stem choice wasn't that easy (1.5" rise on the bars makes geo a bit complicated. Thanks CAD!). Overall the frame feels stiffer and better for rear wheel moves than my old raven 4.0. The only thing that suffered was dirt jumping (serious).

PS

Anybody with high-bb, short CS bikes: try and do a bash-to-rear-wheel move. not a pedal-to-rear, but bash touching. good luck.
