    Well the build is complete and the break in ride will be at Irvine Park tomorrow. Though the real reason for the ride is my boys first "dirt" experience...

    Many thanks to The Path for the great deal on the fork, and the install/check up on the bits an pieces and to Rock & Road today for showing this old guy how to adjust the EBB...

    And of course to the STR bunch for suggestions, getting me in the mood to ride again. Special thanks to Foo for propagating this post Xmas spend.


    It a bit heavy now, but built of available garage parts and what have yous...

    Frame - Zion Large 660 EBB
    Fork - Fox F100 RL (100mm adjustable down to 80mm w/ spacer removal)
    Wheels - Built by The Path two years ago and still perfect - 519 rims, Paul hubs, red bling nipples
    Tires - F - Maxxis Aadvantage 2.4 / R - Maxxis High Roller 2.35
    Brakes - Avid Mech BB7 / Avid Speed Dial SL
    Crank - 180 Truvativ 32
    Rear Sprocket - White 20
    Bars - Jones H Bar
    Stem - Bontrager (unknown model)
    Stem Cap - Chris King Strong and Pretty Pink
    Seat Post - Thomson
    Seat - WTB Speed V
    WOT! No mention of derailers and 27 gears...:)
    Smooth, quiet, and simple. My Intense 5.5 is going to hate me...
