    what he said. don't worry about the peanut gallery.

    test ride is in. went out and did a few runs at webb. My dad really likes it, and was all smiles at the bottom of each run. we did good :bang: I don't think he'll be making it out to fontana this weekend though. we'll see.

    I even gotta borrow it for a run, and it is one FAST bike. that fork is so buttery you could put it on toast. super plush, super controlled. it's really cool having all the little adjustments too. a bit of extra HS compression and a tick faster rebound for dealing with the huge wheel holes and braking bumps. add some LSC so you can really pump the bermed turns. now I needa get me one of these things :-k :lol:

    just got the new custom decals put on, and they definitely make the bike look WAY better. Thanks to Neil for getting me a set of decals to pattern off of :beer:

    Those former Hutchinson team frames have bad, bad Juju.

    I hope you took it to a priest to have it blessed then walked to the top of a Mayan temple and sacrificed a goat to appease the gods.

    If you haven't don't forget to pour some of the goats blood on the frame itself but don't get it in the links. Blood and dirt is the hardest thing to clean out of the links.

    Have you noticed any paranormal activity lately at your house?

    Pffftt...hater!

    You're just mad because that frame beat you several times. :p I kid! Now sell me your 24-70 f/2.8 for $50. Hehe...

    Bike looks good Bryan. I like how it's a contrast to the old color scheme. :beer:

    A live goat, not just the blood!

    String the goat up by his hind-quarters and slit it's throat, let the blood fall all over the frame. Try to avoid the links (read og post above) this should do the trick.

    On second thought pour some blood over yourself too.


    I'm still trying to scrape all the goats blood out of the little nooks and crannies of the lenses. When I lent them to you I wasn't thinking of the consequences.
