Default New Build, 2007 Medium Turner RFX Iron Glimmer
Whoever put on the Turner stickers did a bad job. There were so many air bubbles under the sticker it looked bad, so I pealed them off...may just leave them off. I completed the build tonight, spent hours trying to adjust front derailleur and decide just to have the mech at Laguna Cyclery bail me out. Tomorrow over the Aliso Woods/Rock-it to set up the suspension. Weight came in as expected. I have heavy downhill rims Mavic 521 and 721 with a 2.5 on the front and a 2.35 rear.

33.24 lbs
Zoke 2006 Z1 Light fork

We come back from our trip and we start sporting new bikes. My tires are a little smaller and a the bike is slightly lighter, but it is brand new.

Bike looks great, Dean! Funny, but the wait doesn't seem so long now, does it? Look forward to seeing the thing in action soon.

Oh, and be sure to check your ORO's set screws, my friend.
