Post your 2012 Rides!

[jezyk]

i just picked up one of these in the off season, i don't have a day on it yet. I can't wait. How do you like that fork? I hear it's portly but stiff. Is your derailleur hanger wacky like mine is?

Fork is amazing. It's my first USD and I love it. I heard that all USD suffers for less stiffnes than normal forks but I don't feel that during ride. The air assist is awesome invention too. It's heavy but feels really bombproof. Definitely I won't change it. I only worried about servicing of this beast. I never saw a manual how to do it step by step.

Is my derailleur hanger wacky? I don't know...it looks normal. (But if you want a derailleur with a shadow, like saint, you have to crop it up a little bit).

Same as 2011 except the Banzaified fork lowers are exclusive '12 kit...

Original plan was just to get a complete Aurum 1 as posted earlier, but things got a bit out of hand, again:

damn i like how that aurum looks, the only thing i'd change is the sram bits for the shimano bits. if i had the money to buy a new dh bike, i'd be hard pressed to choose between that color aurum and the yt tues 2.0, linkage says the tues is a teeny tiny bit better but that norco looks like a dodge viper compared to a honda nsx.

That Aurum does look nice. I got a chance to do a run with Ben Reid the other day and I thought his new one looks even better. They did a nice job on the bike and race van's graphics.

Here is my new DH bike.

so you gave Brandon the pee yellow one and kept the cool black one for yourself?

Initial impressions vs the gambler? Congrats on the new ride Ben. Awesome bike.

Gah...even Darth Vader thinks that bike is sick.
