yeah it's not far off... so I'd like to sell it before the new on comes in. The way it's currently built up, it's kinda close to my Highline so I am attempting to build this a bit lighter. So I may have to sell the fork [06 66Light ETA] as well.

I believe we do have the same size and color. I'll give it a few days here on STR before posting it on MTBR classifieds and Homerville.

Why get rid of a perfectly designed frame for a "girlie" '07?

exactly....the 07 RFX is barely the equal of an 06 Spot

[tkblazer]

my guess is to use it as a long travel xc/am bike

[Chaos]

I know you can never have too much beef... but in my garage there is. Sold the 5Spot to the Godfather so I need a lighter XC/AM version of the RFX. I could just order up a pRP23 for her and put some lighter rubber on. Which I probably might do if I can't sell it

Fo you've started a nice little thread there in the Turner forum You can come borrow my HL to see if you like.

[SSinGA]

Fo on a HL - now that is true comedy! He is a world class sports fisherman however.

Replace that 66 with a new Zoke 55, DHX for a RP23, 2.5's for 2.35 Neve's; problem solved.

I have been thinking about this Franky... the new Zoke 55 is nearly 1.5lbs lighter, a RP23 would be another 1lb i think, and swap out the front 2.5 BG to a 2.35... I could be in about ~32lbs, perhaps even slap on my XTR cranks for the Hones... but I am totally digging that raw finish I have on order!

[Geronimo]

If you can tell the difference between 32 and 34lbs or 34 and 36lbs while riding the old RFX I'll pay for the new one. If you can't however, I get the HL frame. Let me know if your interested.

I bet I probably could have before I got the SS bug [diff would have been closer to 5lbs i think - and you forget how slow of a climber I am ]... I have been riding the SS exclusively during the week and I find myself getting stronger on the climbs and my stamina in getting better. So I have been really thinking about whether I "need" to do this for the weight factor. Something that got me thinking about this was... I have never been able to clean Cholla on my Highline and I haven't yet, but last Sat I only dabbed once cuz my rear wheel lost traction. So I think I am getting stronger and the need for a lighter bike is probably not really justified. But hey UGI is a disease... I want that RAW frame/color, the new rockers, the asym chainstays and the new bike euphoria

If I can't unload this, so be it. I will just wait and hope that the Sultans get the asym chainstays next year as I am really diggin this 29er thing...

[mechmann]

word dawg!

are you ready to take the HL back to Utah?!?!

[Geronimo]

Yeah, I stay awake at nights thinking about selling my 5 Spot buying a Highline, swapping my Dirtbag components onto the Highline, selling my Dirtbag frame and buying a new Dirtbag and putting the spot's components on it with a 66sl. Selling my Turner buying a Turner selling my Transition buying the same Transition doesn't make a lick of sense, but somewhere in the nooks and crannies of my UGI infected brain it's completely logical.

Turner sucks, I'd rather drink beer than ride a Turner.
