watch out for that pole!

looks great! nice build!
is your seat adjusted to your height? if so, looks like you may want to get your bars a bit lower (if this is your race bike).

Awesome bike. It's like Christmas in March.
Except its not snowing and you had to pay for it. Can't wait to hear how it compared to the Yeti. Like night and day in every way I'm sure. I assume it will be joining you in Hurkey Creek this weekend? |

Steph....
I told you this 9er thing is just a fad. It's soon to be over, but I'll be here for you when you need to sell it. Yes, I am very green with envy! Congrats on a bee-yooo-tif-full bike!
