Default Dipsomania [n.] An insatiable craving for alcoholic beverages.

dip·so·ma·ni·a (dĭp'sə-mā'nē-ə, -mān'yə)

Doesn't really apply to me as I don't crave alcoholic beverages. My bererage of choice is the Turner Kool-Aid.
Raw flavored if you will....





new rockers.


nice welds.


some CNC'd bits


asym. chainstays


TNT anyone?


This is just a frame swap for the time being... still trying to decide on a new fork to cut a little more weight.
I've had the bike since Friday, but haven't gotten to ride her yet

Rodel - That's hawt!

I can't believe you've let it sit in the garage this long.

Hopefully you'll post a report on your thoughts on the differences between new and old. Particularly the performance with an air shock.

Tell me about it! Just had to much family stuff going on over the weekend and Gail has been working at a different Kaiser clinic so I've had chauffeur duties for the little one after work.

If it stays clear this week I'll get a ride in... if not it might go up with me to Mammoth this weekend with the HL.

That is HAWT, and I don't even care for the raw finish.

Just a frame swap - hahahahahahaha. Not possible!



The gods have spoken and say it needs a CCDB.

So what's lighter Avy, CCDB or ROCCO WC?
This winter sometime it will get a fresh coat of paint from Spectrum Powder Works

I like the adjustability of the CCDB. The Avy works fine but not as user tunable. You just have to trust that Craig did what you asked for. Same for the Push'd ROCO.


Seriously - lighter???

Seriously considering about taking it up to mammoth this weekend. If the Path doesn't get the loaner Totem on my Highline from RS back the RFX will have it's number called.

She's a beaut. I'm going to show my ignorance... is that an RFX or a Spot? And to think I used to own a 6 Pack. Tsk tsk on me.
