My wife wanted a china cabinet to store/display the fine china we got at our wedding a couple years ago. She was tired of pulling them out of the closet. So I got her one. She'll be busy loading it up this weekend while I'm out breaking in my new RFX. I think she's happy

...
I know I am

more pics to come...

Where's the China cabinet?

Nice looking RFX Rodel!

Pain Freak · 10-07-2006, 04:15 AM

I think you got the better deal. Let her think she did though.

spookydave · 10-07-2006, 10:25 AM

that cabnit needs a few Chris King and I9 hubs in it. lol

FoShizzle · 10-07-2006, 12:44 PM

what fork is that? a 20006 66 or Z1? regardless, SWEET ride!

Thanks Fo.
The fork is a 06 66LightETA, it came off the Highline.
Red was actually a last second decision. this was going to be a black and blue build, much like the HL. The Hope brakes were ordered months ago with the black plugs which was one of the only differences. I've had a blue headset and the blue hubs/wheelset from the other bike i was going to move over, but when I came across these at The Path... i could not resist....

The rest of build is pretty much standard Homer stuff

[SIZE=1]Well except for a GD seatpost

Yes I know... what she doesn't know won't hurt her right?

perhaps i should keep the spare parts in the lower cabinets? if she suspects me spending more money on bikes that'll be the last place she looks.

Ha ha....yeah, the GD and the fact that you are not running an 06 RFX front triangle, with 05 5-Spot seat stays with 07 RFX/5.5-Spot chainstays.

True homers are simply TOO friggin much with their mixing and matching of pieces of frame...Gravity droppers....PUSH rockers....etc....etc....etc

I vow to not do a thing out of the ordinary to my bike

Schecky · 10-07-2006, 06:28 PM

I saw this in the parking lot right before it's maiden ride.
The pics don't do it justice.
Nice meeting you Chaos and awesome bike!

CalEpic · 10-07-2006, 06:48 PM

That is beautiful Rodel!

The red looks nice on the black frame.

Nice RFX Rodel! Have you weighed it yet?

killa Cali Kid · 10-08-2006, 03:52 PM

Here's a teaser.

Chaos · 10-09-2006, 06:08 PM

Craig, Lucas, Rob.... thanks.
I forgot to throw it up on the scale before i took it from the shop so I have no idea how much it weighs, but it's definitely lighter than the Highline. I'm running a 700lb spring on the DHX and I'm really surprised at how plush it is... so much more than the HL. Makes me really wonder if the HL is still oversprung[i'm leaning this way] or the RFX is undersprung??? I've checked the sag on the both bikes and it seems to be right

... so I think i'm going to order a lighter spring for the HL and try it out.

Rob how are the DT Swiss tubeless kits holding up for the 5.1s. I'm running tubes but want to convert eventually.

Killa, the 3rd bike is a 5Spot.

oh before I forget, the fork replacement for the 66Light also came in

i've ruined the color scheme on the HL but the replacement fork only came in Galvanized for this model.

CalEpic · 10-09-2006, 08:42 PM

Who's going to break this tie? I count Rodel, Rob, maybe Frank? and myself with three ea. I think Von-digg's maybe joining this club/cult too?

Sultan anyone?

What else are you going to piss your money away on? Food and housing is so overrated.
