Tight! No pressure, but a bike like that should be capable of some podiums.

serious business right there! that came in much faster than I thought it would. seems like we were in northfork not that long ago and you weren't sure when this thing was going to be available.

Now get 'er dirty! See you in PA?

I was reading about some of the changes they made. Apparently they lowered the BB on that thing even lower than the m3. I couldn't image my m3 being any lower without pedals hitting the ground all the time? It's nice they shaved the weight though.

Yeah they lowered the bottom bracket to 13.75in. thats F-in crazy low considering the sunday everyone thought was crazy low is 13.9
The m3 is 14.75, so yes the m6 could quite possibly destroy some cranks/pedals since it has 9.3in. of travel.
But who cares about cranks and pedals? its an m6! dope.

as built the bb is just under 13.5 i know a little scary. but i guess i will learn pedal timeing a little better, the cranks are mega exo something or other. i got the frame from fanatik in b'ham which i am pleased to say i will be racing for this year great group of people to deal with. i bought parts from all over the place. fluidride recycled cycles, even greggs

cool. yeah the guys from fanatik are really cool, I've ridden with em at a couple Island series last year.
so is the fork an 05 boxxer team? or is it the decals that fool me?

It also helps to run shorter cranks. Even with the m3 you have to be conscious of the low BB. It all pays off when you rocket outta the corners though. Nice ride.

I know for a fact that it plows stairs! I think you'll do just fine with that rig, Casey.

Hell yeah man! I was just ribbin you about how much it cost because as I'm sure you know, I was ****ing jealous once it was built. Ever since you left with yours, I've been thinking real hard about just how many extra hours I'd have to work, and just what I'd have to give up to be able to grab one of those instead of my incoming rig.

I won't see you at PA, but let us all know how it rides. BTW, Mark's clear red just came in and it is absolutely stunning.
