Guess who's back and ready to ride!!

After taking nearly the entire month off and overhualing my bike, i just got everything finished with the rebuild. Since the 05 reigns came with crappy bearings and paint, i decided that i would get the frame powdercoated since the bearings were going to be removed. I ended up taking my frame to Olympic again as they did my old intense frame and it came out really well. The color is a baby blue metallic color that you can really see the flakes in the sun light.

New parts installed:

1. 2007 SRAM X9 Shifters
2. 2007 SRAM X9 Med. Cage Rear Derailluer
3. E.13 supercharger bash guard
4. Race Face 36 and 22 teeth chain rings
5. Shimano XT Cassette 11-34

after a little cosmetic surgery



should go well with this

Put some Specialized stickers on it and people will think you're cool.

I don't like blue, personally. Especially light blue. But, that's a nice bike. Congrats!

I took another look at your post and noticed the comment "it should go good with this"... What happened to you in the month you were off the bike. Color cordinated bike and hemet...next thing you will be buying a road bike.

Please get into the dirt before it gets worse.

That looks great. Personally I'd put the stock Giant decals on there to break it up and give it a one-off factory look.

We're riding Tunnel on Saturday. That would be a good place to break it in (and your helmet too)

Have you been hanging out with Foshizzle? J/K
Hows the fit / comfort on that helmet ?

the only road riding i do is to get to or from a trail head.

craig, i'm not sure if i'm going to do any decals yet but if i do they will be custom cut decals.

mike, so far the helmet is comfy but i haven't had a full ride in yet and i don't think the padding is exactly broken in.

my main reason for getting a FF is i had 2 good endo's that could have been the end for my teeth... rather then press my luck i decided it was time to protect the noggin a little better. I'm also getting ready for the southridge dh races so thats another reason i wanted a FF

I like Craigs idea about the stickers...I have some older Turners stickers if you want them.
