'02 JrT.
'05 Build Kit:
Thompson layback post
Brooklyn Machine Works saddle
Avid Juicy's
Husselfelt w/bash guard
XT Rear Dr & shifters
Mavic 729 rims
Kenda Kinetics 2.6 fr & rr tires
King headset
Easton Stem
Race Face Diabolous Bars

Need to get new pedals ASAP (just some cheapy platforms) and maybe upgrade shocks, but the shocks can wait 'til next year.

Whatever nothing. Get the 66, get it, gggggeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttt it. If nothing else, it'll just force Arty to get the 888 for his big bike. Oh, and it's just a badass fork. Originally Posted by Tyrone Shoelaces

You're assuming I need convincing. I've only been droooooooling over the 888 RC2X for the last month...must rob liquor store...hmmmm...that might not cover it... Originally Posted by CS

I'm trying to maintain my current state of "dumb and happy" with my current ride. If I start to spend money I'm just never going to stop.

You want scary? I've probably got a big chunk of money coming my way sometime in the next year or so. I really should save it all for a house downpayment.

Yup, a 66 would be perfect on that bike. You'll be stoked. I think the 06 66vf2 will have some adjustability. Gititgitit. Originally Posted by Tyrone Shoelaces

Definitely. Also, don't worry I only have 5" of travel...for now... Originally Posted by Particle

Maybe you could make a weekend out of it; or perhaps there's some stuff in the middle. We do expect to see you at Kirkwood this winter, no excuses.

I'd kinda like to check out Auburn...heard there's some good stuff around there. But yah that's a solid 3.5-4 hrs for me...probably gotta be living FT out here before that happens. Kirkwood no doubt this winter!
