thought i'd abuse RM with pics of what needs not be changed. if anyone's looking for a perfect custom segmented rigid fork (had it built to be very similar to the ride height of a 29er RS REBA in 80mm mode), there isnt a place further to look than waltworks. oh man- good guy to work with!

oh- new wheelset and boone chainring. so nice.

addition: yes, the bike is a freak: paint is opposite (shouldnt the bike be black with orange flames?) 29er, 33:21 (thats not normal), 180mm crnaks, rigid, and then to top it off, something as tech as hydro brakes? wow. oh well- she rides like a dream, and its perfection for me.

Meant to say that this is a cool bike earlier. Nice job. I like the attention to detail. Anyone yet ask what it weighs?

Rigid is sweet. I'm going to weld my own rigid SS steel mountain bike pretty soon. I just can't decide if I should go 29'er.

23 lbs.

oh- the boone chainring attaches via a spline, kinda like last generation XTR. but different- the "teeth" on the spline are more rounded, versus the square-ish ones that shimano does.

boone cogs and rings rock. Brett, I believe is the guy that does all the machining, really knows what he's doing. I picked up a few different sized cogs a year or so ago. Fit and finish is amazing.

Great looking bike too! I'm diggin' the whole rigid 29er ss thing...
