I really like hearing it when people build up their dream bikes. Many people dream, but not everyone can make it happen. And it's very special to realize one's own dreams. I know it's not done yet, but congratulations on building your dream bike.

haha kinda funny, because I haven't raced 4X yet.But the overall build is pretty much the way it will stay! Unless something breaks- which I very highly doubt. Like all of my bikes I prefer the heavy stronger bike as opposed the lighter bike that I still can't break.

Lee was very helpful in answering the 2,000 questions I asked him.

Brandon, I know your time will come. I know you dream big, so I expect big things from you!

haha "banks" would be an under statement. If you didn't see my build thread its basically the most I would spend on a 4X bike. It took my Tax return and another chunk just for the bike, but after this one I wont get another bike for a while besides a frame. Theres never any money in the bank anyway..

lol I think the Velvet R will suit my setup very well. The only thing on my build that I went cheap on were the brakes, and wheels. Both of which are more than enough for my application.

BTW wait till you see my dream DH bike built! It won't be for a while but it will definitely be a big build.

actually, i was doing really bad about a month ago.. school sucked.. i basically lost all motivation for school, didnt do anything and lets grades slip.. well i wanted to switch to a new school to benefit me and my education... well after hours and hours of research, many of the hours from ditching, i was allowed to switch schools, and so far i have taken 4 tests.. my grades so far have been an A+ and A+ and an A-
im happy with the results of changing to this new school.. the fourth test is still pnding and i take my 5th test tomorrow to close out my health and safety unit of high school... not bad, 3 weeks and i finished a 18 week vourse and got full credits..
not to mention i have tuesday, thursday and fridays off, and get out of school no later than 830AM on monday and wednesday... you cant really beat that
im most happy about my grades though, and now i like school and appreciate it mroe
