Talking My Turner RFX

So I finally picked up my new fork for my RFX yesterday. Took it out already and it is awesome. I am digging the travel adjustment, especially for steeper climbs. The RFX as a whole is a great bike that is only held back by it's operator. So far I haven't found anything this bike won't do and do well. Tight singletrack is great, bombing downhill even better and it goes up great too, incredible traction up rocky climbs. Needless to say I like my new bike. Here are some pics of the "final" build(I am still going to pick up some '08 XT shifters and a Shadow RD, plus some bars, grips and saddle), will have some action shots tomorrow:

Will you stop it already w/ this bragging about your Turner (I say that with a hint of jealousy)

Your not going to know what to do with all that suspension.

Nice ride!

Darryl, Nice build! Good to see you got your new fork. Have fun tomorrow, and I will see you on next weeks ride!

I see you replaced your bash guard as well! Look out picnic tables, your back in action!

Thanks Amor, fortunately I had a Saint Bashguard in the parts bin to replace the e.13(ironically, I replaced the Saint one for the bling of the e.13), death to picnic tables. Hate that you can't make it tomorrow, see you next week though. Later.
