My Black Beast

[Guffo?]

Hey.

As I crashed weeks ago and cannot ride, I went to the parking lot and shot a few pics of my girl.

Ignore the front brake, it's under fixings.

nice lighting...multiple flashes?

[Guffo?]

yup.
Fluorescent bulbs plus two remote flashes reflected on white walls.

sick pics and build. whats the stem?

[THRILLSEEKA]

Hey! I was gonna ask that!
What's the stem? ;)

Also, how do you like the Pike? I know nothing about them, but my little bro just got one to sample for like a year or something. Pretty cool for him, as long as it's not like crap that he'll die on. Not saying it IS, just saying I don't know!

[hungryleprican]

wow

they look like professional shots for a magazine or somthing

[Guffo?]

haha tnx

fist, tha' stem... It's an Odyssey Elementary. Unfortunately, its a 22.2mm diameter, so I can only find crappy handlebars (Like the Amoeba I'm using). Its a cool-looking stem, but no so nice for installing and stuff.

Second, Pike?
It's a great fork. My hole life I've hated Rock Shox, but Pike was definitely different. I have it for like a year or more, and I've used everywhere... park, street, 4X, Soft DH, few small drops... a very complete AM fork. I fully recommend it.

Check out http://atomlab.com/dude. Sexy steel bars in multiple colors(and a red one to match that Pike, maybe?) and 22.2 clamp dia. And CHEAP. I just ordered the street bars and they were $29!

[THRILLSEEKA]

Can't...quite...see... but do you have the red Supercharger, or is it just black and I'm seeing things?

[Guffo?]

Yup, red supercharger indeed. Every color part on the bike is red (Chris King hubs are comming soon)

When I have an extra money I'll order Atomlab or gusset bars (Remember that I live far away from those retail stores)

[kidwoo]

Your bike stands up by itself.

that's teh radness

Geez, just saw that! Hey, didn't you buy something from me recently or was going to??

[Guffo?]

haha, don't remember, but maybe!

[dexter]

thats the stem i thought. id wait if i were you. brad is gonna start making 22 bars in any color you wan them with better materials, bends, and heights than any of the other mfg's

[THRILLSEEKA]

Brad...of NP? When's he gonna start into that?? SOMEONE needs to step up and start offering things in more color options. I'm not sure what the big deal is, but I think everyone's getting tired of Black, dark black, and matte black. Some translucents would be sick, too.

Guffo? Got any closeups of that bash? I want to see one ON a bike...

[Boxxer]

Sick photos! Amazing set up.

[w0ntwan]

Stupid question....

How in the hell did you get your bike to stand up?

[biggins]

Stupid question....

there is some kind of stand that is photoshopped out...you can see it in the shadows of the bike in the pics.

[Guffo?]

haha, yup. I normally use a Srewdriver. In the third photo you can see the shadow. That day I couldn't find my regular screwdriver ...a bit bigger, so the bike stands with the cranks 100% horizontal.

Thril, give me a second.... I've just woken up (5.40 pm) and I don't understand why my whole room is spinning :cheers: .

[formermtboarder]

why is there like an inch of bar on each side of your grips in teh first few pictures?

[Guffo?]

ah right, I was about to cut the bar, and I was testing if an inch was good enough (I normally cut'em too much)
