Wow. Superb build.

 

Sexotic :clap: (I just made that word up but I think it works)

We need to get an Uzzi ride put together.

 

Thats killer! Get it on a scale and report back

 

What's the head angle with the van36?

 

I rate your build as expensive. I saw your bike at the path when i was there the last week. Very pretty and very $$$$$$$! That's pretty much the best components money can buy on one of the best frames money can buy.

 

I'd say something but I'm afraid I'd get my post deleted... So I will say it in the most PC way I can think of~

I think I just had an orgasm!

Serious bike porn you got there...Go get that thing dirty! BTW, did you win lotto or does you credit card company just L-O-V-E you?!?!

I'd love to see the receipt.....

~sigh~

 

G'damn, That is the dumbest slang word I have ever heard. Second would be "That's dope"

I can go with "That bike is sick" Nice build:clap:

 

Sick build

 

Wow. Your rig is sick. Congrats. :clap: Don't get it dirty now.

 

I too am uncomfortable with that colloquialism. N e way, back to your build.

Are Avid cr's considered "top-shelf?"
Just curious, I have a set myself.

 

Very nice.

 

Very nice, but I like mine better.

And yes, we need an "Uzzi" ride soon!!!

 

Regular QR for the rear hub?

 

NICE!!!

the uzzi is looking like my next bike... if they make an XL.

Your build is "redonkulous!"

 

Solid bike............go tubeless!:bang:

 

I like that idea....how about expanding it to a "Intense Owners Ride"....maybe a little up Skyline and down Skinsuit:?:
I love that route on my Tracer and I would imagine the Uzzi would eat up Skinsuit:bang:

 

Thanks for all the feedback! Yeah, I'll be eating Top Ramen for quite a while... he he.

I'd definitely be down for an Intense outing!

HA with the Fox Van (160mm) *should* be 67.5 or 66 depending on the rear dropout setting.
Weight, I'll get a better weigh in, but on my home digital scale it was 33.5 lbs..

In ref to sexotic and the big O posts..
yeah, I got my hands in my pants right now.

I didn't help that during a romantic interlude with the wife, I mentioned that "she's so uzzi"... she didn't like that much.

Later, I said "wow, that was Intense". She didn't like that either.

 

Allright, who is on an Uzzi VP these days?

CPATCRASH
Denmother
Marshall Willanholly
stuffshredman
TKBlazer? - I don't think he rides anymore though
CalEpic
I know I'm spacing out on a couple more...
Edit: add Fired Yo Mamma and Grandpa

Then there are those on Uzzi VPX's
Art23Rockpile
Dino Brown

Then there are all the other Intense owners...

If we shuttle Skyline we can get the 951/M1/M3/M6... peeps out there too.

Let's hear some dates.

 

Beautiful build. I would just go ahead and scratch it with a screw driver to get it out of the way. Would you rather pull the band aid off fast or slow??? In all seriousness, enjoy that rig. It's amazing!
