couldnt wait any longer for an atomz frame, so i bought a short zoo pitbull to ride for now.

Impressions :

The frame feels extremely short, even with the 120x20 stem and try-all rage bar. It is very stiff and reponsive, and the build quality seems pretty good. My only complaint is that the bottom bracket height is too low, and the chain stays are a tiny bit too short. Other than that, the bike feels great.

is that a pazzaz stem? and did you just switch to risers or did you always run them? I'm noticing a lot of peeps are running the rage bars nowdays. any reason for it ?

its suppose to be 1060, +10, and 375 with an echo fork. That means with the meta fork, the wheelbase is shorter than 1060.

The stem on the bike is a 120x20 from pazzaz. I like the riser bar because the extra sweep feels easier on my wrist and shoulders. It feels a lot more natural than the flat bars and the low riser bars i've used in the past.

why the narrow mavic rim on the front? weight saving? oldschoolness?

Looks great. Are you going to make a vid while riding this bike? Where do you buy Pazza stems? Why no V brakes?:hs:
