    Woohoo! 3 weeks of tinkering, not entirely, just when I get the time to wrench. 300 bucks worth of new parts and tools.

    New to me Goride stem, rebuilt front wheel with new nipples, trued rear, new front hub bearings, rebuilt the Fox 40 and the Vivid, had to get a new MRP upper guide, checked all the pivots, bled the brakes and torqued everything down. Stoked.

    p.s. its posted for sale in a few places. I'm being offered a Session 88, and if this thing moves, I'm upgrading even before I ride it :)

    I finished it today, probably gonna ride it next weekend. I'm going to test my leg on an AM ride tomorrow. Hopefully, the pain from my last crash won't come back.
