SL! SL! SL! SL!

The economy is now stimulated. Well played.

SL! SL! SL! SL!

It's punishing my wallet as it is. Plus my only color choices for the SL are "Weight Weenie Carbon", "Poop Brown", and "Primer Grey". This, as opposed to "Steezy Green" or as I like to call it: Steen.

[gh444]

Steen is mean! You'll dig that bike for sure!

I think I'm putting a TALAS 36 on it? I'm buying it off L8APX to enable him to buy other things. From what I understand 140-ish range is idea, but it can take up to a 160 (maybe? I've seen 150 posted as the max length too). If you're curious about it, I highly recommend emailing them, as they're super-responsive and quite nice.

No ISCG tabs, so no decision. Besides, I'm trying to put this together on the cheap...

[pechelman]

im definitely not in the market for a new bike, just curious
if its 13.2/69 with a 140mm fork, it would be pretty money with a 160 i think

[nufenstein]

ah yes...i didn't even think to look...seems strange they didnt include the tabs on the $$$ AM bike of $$$ AM bikes...where does the front derailleur mount? on the rear swingarm?

I have a Talas 36 right now, and Its okay. I rode one with a 140mm fork and it seems much more balanced. The Talas just weighs too much in comparison to the rest of the bike. It feels really lop-sided and front heavy.

One thing that is a must, is getting the Lopes Link. It truly stiffens up the frame and gets rid of that tiny bit of noticable slop in the linkage.

I'm going to put a Rock Shox Revalation 426. I rode one with this fork and and it felt $$$. So instead of opting for the Fox, I can put the extra $400 towards a new Boxxer Race for the Demo.

[schuss]

yeah, was originally going to put a manitou MRD Absolute or a pike on there, but gettin' a hookup, so it works. Besides, I'll be on cloud 9 not being on my old sugar 4+ with a black as it is...

Just to chime in the talas schuss is getting from me can be dialed to 140mm unlike the new ones.

you're going to need a blow off valve on that thing for all the brappping that will be going down. enjoy

Thanks enabler!


Do not let L8 near you if you don't want more gear.

My friend has that frame and calls the color "nuclear pesto".

That's the official name, but I like making up names for things, way more fun.

$3.10 for an automatic knife with free shipping, now thats cheap http://www.liangdianup.com/automatic_1.htm how about the
buck 110 auto? Do they still make that thing here in the states? I think they were being converted into autos out west. Nice
knife, these guys also have a copy of a Buck 110 auto.
