heh, that's the same thing I want to do once I start building mine up (assuming i buy the frame sunday)

so of course, you will need to post pics at some point or another

the fang setup isnt loong enough to do any good with a middle ring only setup on my bike looks like I need somehting longer back to jensons tommorow

[Rockinthecasbah]

I dont know if id call it progress lol its almost done just waiting to throw my xc bars, a longer stem, and my juicy 5's when they get here


just took it off the stand to tune my 4x bike you can see piles of boxes under it from jensons trips
