Show us your Downhill Bikes...

Sick bike mfoga , lets ride sometime.

 

Finally got the bike back together, just have to button up a few small things and she'll be ready to go. It's almost a new bike it seems like. Here's the short list of what I did.

- New recall frame replacement
- Serviced forks and went with the stiffer green coil
- Enduro MAX bearings in all suspension pivots
- Saint 83mm x 170mm 36t crankset
- Race face team dh BB (deeper cups allow spacers to use 83mm crank and correct 150mm hub chainline. The frame has a 68mm BB shell)
- E-13 LG1+ guide
- KMC gold chain
- Hope floating rotors w/ EBC green pads

Thinking about changing the lower fork legs to black and setting it up with a Saint derailleur and shifter. Then I think I'm done for a while haha.

 

Did some upgrades alot actually:
2010 jedi xl (37.6 lbs built)
I9 wheelset and rims
Schwalbe Muddy Marys -Tubeless
Middleburn cranks
KMC xsl-TI chain
Thomson post
sunline ti saddle
X9 shift/der
XTR cassette
Hopey damper
Deity Black label bars and Fanto DM stem
Crampon pedals version 2 modified
TLD grips
2010 Boxxer WC with AVALANCHE cartridge inside (open bath goodness)
Avalanche Woodie with ti spring and Hi/Lo adjuster (light valving)
Formula the one brakes (2010 model)
and other bits...



Love this one its slacker than it looks I took the pic at an angle (see sidewalk behind) Its an age thing



And the view you guys should get used to seeing as it dissappears in the horizon in front of you! LOL


New Diety blacklabel bars and Fantom DM stem (rode these the other day and OH YEAH they rip great leverage and 15mm rise is the perfect combo between flat and high...)

 

Might I suggest you first check out these 3 bikes:

1. 2011 Transition TR450
2. 2011 Specialized Demo
3. 2011 Pivot Phoenix

 

Here's the Norco in Whistler this summer, it's not just a pretty build ... haha God I miss that place !!!

 

Change of plans now ... Just picked up a new 2008 Intense M6 frame so I'll be swapping over all the parts from the Norco I just rebuilt haha.

 

so how much for the norco??

 

Got the transfer done! Swapped all the parts over from the A-line to the M6 frame. I also decided to add a Saint derailluer and shifter and a Truvativ Holzfeller WC bar since I noticed the other one was bent a little. Just need to wrap the chainstay and she's good to go for this weekend. Gonna get a FOX RC4 shock for it asap.

MXVET: I'll let you know on the Norco asap.

 

that's a gorgeous M6 there scott. good job with that.

I'd also take a look at getting a CCDB vs an RC4 for the back of that. probably going to be easier to find in the M6 size (10.5x3.5), since it's been around longer in that size. the M6 is supposed to play really well with the CCDB as well, and it'd match all the nice saint bits.

 

pure sex

 

Thanks, yea the CCDB looks awesome, but .... the only thing is I can get FOX at employee price

 

Where did the Norco frame go?

 

fair enough reason for me. figured I'd point it out, though, since 10.5"x3.5" CCDB's are cheapish and plentiful thanks to the M6.

 

He's selling it to me...

 

not bad built on a budget weighs in at
36.23 with pedals and a heavy ass 66 fork on it but it is buttery smooth.
66 degree head angle
6 inches of travel
and a BB height of 13.65 static

 

heres my M1,Romic rear shock,08 Boxxer front fork,2.7 front tire,2.5 rear tire

 

2005 Giant Faith 3 (DH)
