Congrat's to the man !!! Frames looks good.
wait, is doc-ers the man behind superco? if so, then why pink?
that is great news. again, to the superco team, congrats and good luck on your new venture. can't wait to see what you guys come up with next!
great to see all of the other old brooklyns out there too!
i wonder how light you could get one of the origninal racelinks? not that i would ever be interested in that!

is it time to start a new mega-thread? great looking frames. stoked to see doc & co up & running. spread the word!
if you mean by your racelink. around 41-42lbs. if you went Ti spokes, then lighter... eeekk...
you ever get your bearing overhaul done?
Which one is mine? Great news. I cant beleive this thread is 268 pages. Crazy.
Good luck to SuperCo.
Good luck to SuperCo.
I'll be there!
101 Pages here... but yeah, any other info on Superco?
Steel,made in the USA, 24&26" versions. Sweet ride.
it would definitely be a task to try and make a racelink sit as heavy as a tmx. even Amish's was only at 48lbs.
when was it sent in?
it was sent in about a month or so ago. they were waiting on what color i wanted it repainted. i haven't heard from damian for a bit, but i'm not too worried about it...i know where he lives!
yeah, i haven't really decided on one yet. maybe something like your old orange or something like that. the grape ape is cool, but time for a change.
still have your rl or did you sell it yet?

Race Link #105 update: Started at 48.9 pounds on a reliable and accurate scale. Now down to 47 even. Basically changed the Michi's back to tubeless, figured out where I wanted the bars so changed back to the Boxxer flat crown and cut the steerer, made a new "fender" from the rear portion of a Marz front fender. Very svelte and 38-grams lighter! 
No, I'm not geeking out, just thought it was funny and I didn't really like the look of the unit that came on the bike (bought it used).
Will be installing a Sunline Boxxer direct mount stem and bars today, that'll cut a few more ounces so 46 is right around the corner.
Next week: Ti spindle for the cranks and Ti spring for the Avy. The goal is to have it at no more than 44 by the Angel Fire G3.

Chris won't be there. I think he's afraid he won't leave the mountain. Ever again. I caught him in the backyard late one night, trackstanding on the Bastard, clicking his heels three times against the swingarm repeating to himself: "There's no place like Plattekill, there's no place like Plattekill, there's no place like...." waiting for the Wizard of Oz to deliver him to the top of the hoopty Catskill resort.
Bring your betty. Has she been up yet? I don't recall if you mentioned it.
..Unless it's your own wedding, in which case I encourage you don't miss that one.

i must say this thread got to re-fall in love with bmw's all over again. i wanted one a few years back but never built upa dh bike. now that im for sure going to be building one next month and rotecs wont be available till the end of the year the race link is a very viable option for me. admittedly im going with a very light weight build for my fully and will try to keep it as close to 40lbs as possible. my only concern with this frame is bb height. i was hoping forsomething 14-14.5 whats the average bb height for all you owners out there? please include tires and forks. also sorry if this has been asked. i failed to read through all 250+ pages
I don't think a high BB is something to worry about on the RaceLink in my, admittedly limited, experience on the bike. Once you get your weight on the bike with proper sag, it's low & stable and oh so plush (I've got a lot of work to do to get the Boxxer as plush as the rear end on this bike). In fact, I strike my pedals pretty often with the eccentric (BB spindle) located around 2 O'clock when looking at it from the drive side. A cool thing about the RaceLink is that if you want your BB higher or lower, you can adjust it through the eccentric. I can't recall the total throw on the eccentric, but it's probably at least an 1". I'm running a Boxxer Team with Michi DH16 2.5's & 175 cranks.
no, and with proper sag this wont be a problem, like anvil said.
i'm about 6foot. hasn't bothered me for 6 years. love it
