Default 2010 Bottle Rocket Project!
I was building up a 2008 BottleRocket but I ran into some complications so I ended up getting a 2010 frame! Build this week! Will post details once I get this one built up.

I like the speckled paint job. What rear shock are you going to run on it? Coil or air?

Sick. I have a BR with the DHX coil & it's pretty plush. In fact, my bike's been in your shop. Hi 5. Post that sucker up when she's built!

I'll be putting the older frame in the classified after I get all the parts off it and put them on the new frame.

I had a problem with installing the HammerSchmidt on there. I'll explain the issue in detail after I get the new bike is built up. There technically wasn't anything wrong with the frame. Its just the hammer is very picky.

I put the 2008 frame in the classified section if anyone is interested.

Almost done with it. I just put on the Pike fork yesterday. I need to change some colors on it cuz the frame is green and I put red stem, hubs and pedals and people say its like xmas so I gotta swap out the colors and then its good to go.
