Default Bling'd out bikes

I know I'm not the only one who likes to check out new and tricked out bikes. Since I just got done with a pretty nice build on an 08' Highline, I thought I'd post a few. I still feel like a kid on Christmas morning

Here are a few highlights:
08' Highline
08' Marzocchi 66RC3
Gravity Light Cranks
King Hubs, Headset
Some nice parts

Weighing in a little under 39lbs

Vary nice build, is the black a custom color.
Could you get a detailed shot of your cable routing, I looked on the MTBR “Highline setup” thread and found about five different ways to rout the cables.

I just finished building my Highline and hopefully by this week I will take some beauty and action photos (but no couch shots)

The black ano is a standard color. I routed all 3 cables on top of the downtube. I will snap a few more pics in better light when I get home and post them.

How do you like riding your Turner Highline? How well does it climb?

Default Cable routing pics

Here are a couple pictures of how the cables are routed over the downtube. You have to take the shock off the front mount to get them through, unless you want to deal with your brakes.

I still haven't been able to ride the bike on the trails because the my Gravity Light cranks were missing a crank bolt/cap. I had to call and ask them to send me one, so I'm still waiting. I've just cruised it around the neighborhood so far

I've found that big bikes climb just like their smaller cousins given a similar wheelset. Static weight makes little difference. Usually your freeride frame will have a shorter top tube making climbing a little cramped, but they excell on the descents. I'm sure nick or roadkillross will confirm.

Nick make sure you give us your impressions of that RC3. Por Favor. BTW SWEEEEET BIKE!!!
