Very nice... The chain-stay looks pretty short. How does it manual? Tunnel should be a great 'break-in' route.

*** The more I look at the pics, the more I really like the geometry.

I think you will like the geometry. It has a really short top tube. It felt strange when I first stood on it, the bars were close and low. When I started pedaling while standing it made sense, feels alot like a BMX bike. The chainstays are pretty normal around 14.3" but with the short TT it manuals much better then the Spot, alot like your bike in fact, just heavier. Just got back from Aliso. Oaks, Stairs, Rockit. I felt like I didn't need brakes or to pick a line going down Stairsteps. I felt like a noob going up cholla, but it wasn't that bad. Looking forward to Tunnel.

Very nice. Don't see to many Romics around anymore. I always thought they were good shocks.

I can tell what Zoke 66 Fork?

Weight?

Your bike is hot. I don't see too many Transitions on the trail.

Yeah I think romic has closed up shop, they don't answer or return calls. The frame is an 04 hence the romic. That's a 66rcx and it weighs 42.5 lbs.
Don't worry Kentonn I might have exaggerated a little bit. I'll give you a run for the money though.

Yeah Craig, I have to cut down the brake lines for sure. I ran the rear the long way and there's still alot left.
The tires are the new specialized enduro pro D2's 2.4 front and back. The compound is soft in the center and softer on the sides. If they last a couple months I'll buy another set. I wanted to try something other then Kenda or Maxxis and I'm glad I did. The brakes are SICK! They're gonna be crazy good with Galfer DH pads. I got the set real cheap (check your PM).
