ummm.. that has nothing to do with me dude. everything to do with communication between the shop and the dude building the frame.

it will all work out i am sure. so far the M doesn't seem too small for me. it might be a bit cramped on really long rides, only time will tell. i hope to wring it out this weekend in the XC race, and i will take at least one practice run on the DH course on it...

yes it is. the new CK 150.

you are right, nicest 29er to date IMO. maybe you will get a chance to check it out this weekend, if you can pry me off of it...

Nicest build I have seen in a long time...excellent job Justin. Curious when you get a chance to weigh it and HA. To long of a thread to read the whole thing again, what size chainrings did you go with?

i will have to check HA and weight. it feels pretty light, and slack. first 29er i have ridden that felt like a real agressive all mountain bike!

Don't ask me why, but I rode all types of skinnys, elevators and teeters last weekend, and the 29ers I rode were way more stable than my FS 26er.

Wow, that looks really cool. Congratulations.

I suspect the Socom will be spending more time sitting in the garage now.

yeah... i think it is going to be pretty fun! it has been a long time in the works!

i am going to give the fox some time. i am going to let it break in and see what happens. i am still thinking that a coil would be the best thing for this bike. i just weighed it this morning and it comes in right at 31lbs. i wouldn't mind another pound to get the buttery coil feel.
