Jackass, what is that - looks cool.
Dango, when did you get that Demo? A mate sold a custom blue/white demo a little while back.

Cheers, looks fun! [i]remembers promise to self not to buy any more frames 😕 [/i]
She's a flyer, one of those bikes that just feels right, been running it on the 130mm travel until the other day and swapped it to the 160mm which drops the BB half an inch and slackens it a bit so will see what improvement that makes too.

Unfortunately it had to go to pay my rent, but next season will involve something longer, lower and faster 😈

Went for its second ride last night and it was good fun.
lol please say that isn't where you actually live flamejob? 8)
Flamejob wins this thread just for hanging his bikes up in his living room. striling effort that man - best art work i have ever seen!
I'm not too good at taking pictures, even stationary ones in my garden! Believe me, this looks a lot nicer in the flesh.
I finally finished fitting a new, longer brake hose last night so I am really looking forward to it's virgin run this afternoon in Cwmcarn on my way home form work! Woohoo!

I like the Big Hits with Totems!
Is that a CCDB on yours as well Jim?
Soon to be mine! Going to build it up using those BOS forks, 2x10 Sram X9, Hope hoops etc, can't wait!

I just hope it rides as well as it looks with the Totem on!
Hi Chakaping, yes it is, pretty excited about trying it with the FSR this afternoon.
Mintyjim,
mines just nice with the Ttotems. Im sure double crowns will be better but its fine without, bought them 2nd hand off here.
Scruff, yours is a beauty in blue I have to say! I used the Totems on my Bullit and SX trail and they were superb.
For my riding (basically cycling/pushing to the top of local DH tracks) the single crowns are perfect and I think think they compliment the frame aesthetically well enough!

scruff, what did loco do to your shock and what effect were you wanting from the tune? my mate says his bighit feels like it doesn't pop very well so is looking at getting his tuned too.

most current picture, changing all the time like most peoples bikes i suspect!
My old Morewood Izumi, that was a great bike, really light!

Goodgrief,
Mine is just a cheap Van R shock, I wanted more comression damping, LOCO reshimmed & new fluids and it pedals better, resists bottoming and its better over bumps. I guess it does 'pop' better aswell.
LOCO is cheaper than others to reshim & tune and sepantly cheaper than buying PUSH or a new DHX, superb service. 😀
Scruff - When you say it's better over bumps now, do you mean it recovers from repeated fast hits better? Can you feel it tracking the ground better?
I have same shock as you on my Froggy and am considering options for modding it.

nice upgrade on the shox

the front is in mm, the rear is in inches
Chappa, only had it done last week so only ridden it once but on trails I know, I would say yes is just a bit better allround. Give your money to LOCO !

and before you ask yes 150mm Talas on the front 😉
