not too bad. I knew a guy who raced for them. Hank was his name I believe. Pretty cool guy, ripper too.
Oh, you might want to rotate the boomerang forward about 45' or so. maybe a flat crown as well? I know someone who had their top crown set up like that and he went down hard a few times cause his shorts got caught on the stantion while pedaling.
But bike looks good. You dont' see too many of them out there
Yea on the boomerang doesnt look like its doing much.
He says it rides amazing

Okay now I CAN see the pics!!!??? I think my computer is retarted.
That is a sick bike. Those MRP cranks look awesomly stealth on that bike. He should take those spacers out and get a flat crown. Pricepoint has them on halfprice right now.

I had that setup on my hardtail back in the day. They're stiff for sure. break your ankles stiff. The BB didn't last long for some reason though. bearings went rough fairly quick, although I didn't take the best care of them either. And to answer your question kris, they are heavy.
