    Thumbs up

    Fantastic bike, the folks at aegis are a great bunch. I've had the pleasure of skiing with a couple of them, and they were willing to help colby start its cycling team and offer deep discounts.

    Can I borrow it for the first race at Bountiful (downhill)?



    How about the Shadow, maybe for Porcupine?

    full XTR, drivetrain, hubs, brakes (v-brakes), everything.

    Probably marzocchi fork.

    Thomson stem and seatpost.

    Going to build it when it gets here.

    you do know that the lightest marzocchi fork is about 3.7 pounds right? the rock shox sid world cup is only 2.7 pounds.

    I just wanna see this thing blow away when you get off of it.

    Yeah, I'm just having a hard time going rock shox.

    EDIT: After even more debate, decided that not only am I not going rock shox, but I can't justify the $3600 on another bike. Sorry to disappoint myself.

    So the purchase is a no-go? Damn. That sucks.

    I was going to recco. the fork I have on my Litespeed, Fox RLT 80. Not as light as a SID, but it's kick ass.
