Here --

I know it's old, but no cracks and seems to be holding up to what I can do to it. Cool thing is if it ever breaks, then I get to buy something else! Man I love getting new stuff. :thumb:

I love that Azonic Recoil--I very nearly bought one, but I got more of a freeride bike instead.

There's a lot of titanium weight saving going on with your rig. Now, how much does it weigh???? How much did you spend upgrading to all that titanium too?

I actually haven't weighed it yet. I have some excellent friends and connections in various industries as well as some personal ties, so I didn't spend too much at all on getting my bike pretty well dialed.

not to nag, but those stickers make that beautiful bike look cheap. :blah: I think turner could do better...makes the bike look a little too walmartish. pretty though

Please lets not start another Turner Sticker debate! I know some people don’t like it, but I personally LOVE the decal kit and really don't think it's makes it look walmartish. :thumb:

HEY BRO!

THAT'S A NICE RIDE! SO, HOW IS IT? I THINK A FEW OF US WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE OPINION FROM SOMEONE OTHER THAT A GUY FROM GO-RIDE. THOSE GUYS ARE GREAT TO DEAL WITH AND ALL BUT YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I'VE SEEN POSTING A PICTURE OF ONE OF THESE BIKES THAT ISN'T FROM GO-RIDE. GIVE US THE SCOOP!!!! :evil:

Hey, thanks man.

The bike is very good - and pure racing bred. It does corner like mad, you can seriously push the bike down in corners. You'll notice the stiffness in the rear triangle as well. The floater is def worth it, as the suspension is noticably active during braking. At least worth it for me :) I am coming from a bighit with the beaudry/avalance kit and it remains as active.

The bike is well balanced and low in the front, which at least FEELS a lot faster. Stable at speed.

The romic feels good, not as good as the avy but lighter and feels more active. When the funds allow it, I might switch ;)

It sits deep in the travel and the first 3" are very soft, so I am not as comfortable jumping it yet. I am sure it'll come. It's not a bigdrop bike either, but I am sure it can take a pretty hefty beating.

What I don't like:
- Paintjob not very good for a 2200dollar frame. Rubs of easily, feels thin.
- Wire/hose guides not good. Two different routes everywhere. I want it fairly clean.
- Not reamed for a CK steelset, when they face the HT they could easily ream it deeper too :)

And dude, the engineering and machining going on around the lower shock area is damn cool. I catch myself just staring at it :p
