Late Night Tease

Thanks to The Path for a great build on my new Turner Highline. Shake down ride to come soon

The Turners - 5Spot and Highline


A little bling here

Here a bling

Everywhere a bling bling 8)




Build not fully complete yet. Still waiting on a set of IndustryNine FR wheels rotest: , Dangerboy brake levers, and Goodridge SS lines. 8)
The ChrisKings/Mavic819 will eventually end up on the 5Spot.
Gonna take a short spin at Aliso tomorrow afternoon 4:45ish, will be at the CanyonVista entrance if anyone would like to meet up and take leasurely [read slow] ride. Gotta get used to this big bike. Currently on The Path shop scale it comes in at 38.53lbs.

Hope you like it.

Hey Rodel, Matt and I are gonna hit Aliso tomorrow around that time. I was the guy on the black yeti 575. If you see us maybe we can ride. Looks like there's gonna be two maiden voyages tomorrow . . .

Very nice bike, btw!

 

Thanks! I do remember most of the people I meet last time. There were only a couple names I didn't catch.

I'll definitely look out for you guys, but I think I'd be holding the two of you up if I tag along... as long as you all don't mind and don't mind the company, I'll bring up the back :lol:

Looks like a solid build.

Have fun on the maiden voyage. If you don't, Matt knows some perfect trails for that bike. I think he'll be on a new 6.6 (traitor)

Hey Gonzo, do you know what your route is going to be?

 

Very nice Rodel, not too heavy either! That will certainly whip you into shape on the climbs in a hurry though Have fun on that thing!

 

Very nice ride Chaos. Make sure Winston get's you doing the huck at the play area at Oaks on that thing. ;o)

Craigger, I believe vonDork is sporting a Nomad, not a 6.6...ahhyes, another Santa Cruz on the forum, I love it!!!

 

Hey Rodel, gonna start at Canyon Vistas and then do whatever which probably means up Cholla/Mathis and down rockit/Lynx and up Cholla/Mathis and down rockit/Lynx :wave:

 

Nice looking rig! Where did you pick up the Stealth bar? Azonic has them on back order and I need one for the RFX.

 

The Path had them in stock... that being said, this is the only part that I spec'd out that I am actually having seconds thoughts about. it is a stunning looking bar i think, but carbon on a FR bike....:-k :?: second guessing myself.

Cool deal Gonzo, can't be out long as I still have a list of "Honey-MustDos before you get your Highline" to get done ](*,) around this homestead!
But up Mathis in my current physical condition would be like K.Fed trying to be a rap star... just aint gonna happen right now:lol:

Rob, Dino and Craig thanks for the compliments. If any of you STR regulars or not so regulars wanna demo, just let me know...

 

As much as I do want to ride it I know I shouldn't.....or else I'd probably end up with a 4th Turner

 

Not a 6.6, a Nomad!

I am a traitor!

 

If the Stealth bar doesn't work out for you, I'll take it off your hands.

 

Cool! I'll keep that in mind. These as you probably know have an alloy re-enforcement of some kind in the stem clamping area, so it's suppose to be much stronger and more resistent to crumpling and breaking in that area... only time will tell

 

Nomad

Is there a difference?

Congrat's on the new rides guys.

let's see a photo of the new rig...
