    DeeZee, I think you are the first person that has used a New Castle bottle cap as a part of your bike! :bang:

    Here's mine. I actually have a Reba fork on the bike now, but I haven't been able to bring myself to take a picture of it lately because it looked so much better with the rigid fork.

    The only twenty niner sexier than mine (well, other than Justin's box) is gonna be Stephanie's. But i just want to state publicly right now on this forum that if she goes missing and then you just so happen to see me on a shiny new Kermit green Niner, I had nothing, whatsoever, to do with her disappearance. Got it? I assure you, it will all be just some really weird and creepy coincidence. And you can't prove it. So don't even try to go all Columbo on my ass.

    I'd have to disagree, sorry ;)

    I disagree also. With both of you. And just for that I shall share further proof.

    Sexier than bladed spokes?

    Zion 737. I built it up relatively cheap because I wanted to make sure I liked 29'ing before I dropped a lot of cash into a build. Well, I love it and am replacing it with a FS in May. I will be transferring a lot of its parts over to the new FS and turning this one into a rigid 1x9.

    Since the new trend seems to be keeping new builds a secret, I won't divulge my plans just yet. Although, I'm pretty sure I've already mentioned it in other threads. I do know no one here has one yet.

    '07 Zion 737 29er
    Fork: Rock Shox Reba SL 29er
    Headset: Cane Creek S2 (soon to be Chris King)
    Cranks: Race Face Evolve XC 22/32/bash guard

    Rear Der: SRAM X9
    Front Der: Shimano XT
    Shifters: SRAM X9
    Cassette: SRAM 980 11-34

    I love the way she rides, but I do wish the frame was a bit stiffer. I can tell under heavy torque that there's some side-to-side play.

    If I could get a 29er frame with the same geometry, same weight or less (6.5lbs), that was significantly stiffer, that would be the perfect bike for me.
