I spy a DVO Diamond fork AND a nearly murdered out DVO piggy back rear shock. Looks tasty.

Seriously! DVO Emerald and Topaz. I love it with the green frame.

 

[Kralle]

its a Diamond... the Emerald is the DH fork.
hope it's avilable bevor the hollydays in may... don't want to buy a pike/36er

Q for you drill baby drillers... Any issues on warranty from Ibis?

 

[fresh tracks]

Internally routed both the brake line and reverb.

Drilling out the single port cover for the brake line was OK but the port cover with both lines got too thin and fragile after drilling.

So I built one out of carbon fibre instead...

Very cool! do you have any pics/info of the process?

 

[Ramjm_2000]

Very cool...please share the carbon port process.

No, sorry, wish I'd taken some photos on the way through!

I had the benefit of already having plenty of spare CF off-cuts and resin so essentially it cost me zip. If I had to buy the minimum run of materials to do this I wouldn't have done it, there would be heaps left over. I really like the end result, it was a good solution for a problem...but luckily I don't have to repeat the process for other ports.

So is that the big one on the drive side, or did you make a big double wide for the non drive side? Can you take a picture from further away to show more?

Just received the 3D printed ports. They doesn't exactly fit the frame. A little too long and too thick. I'll have to sand down them a little bit.

Here you go...it's the big one on the drive side. Don't think you'd be able to get side by side on the smaller ports, tight enough on the big one as is.

OK, SO you are running your rear brake on the left...

Yep

When I looked at the external brake line routing options, it looked a pain to get the rear brake lever on the left, which is what I'm used to. Internal looked like the better option.

Looks the opposite in terms of ease with rear brake lever on the right. Easier to run external I would have thought. Trying to run internal, it would be tricky figuring out how to mod that top port on the non drive side and still get nice shifting from the gear cable, unless you ran full length gear housing through the frame.

Finally getting a chance to do more than a neighborhood test. Plans were delayed due to a family trip but looking forward to getting her dirty this afternoon. Weight with tubes...will be removed probably this week...26lbs 9 oz.

Great break in ride. I have to agree with all the reviews this thing is a whole different beast than the last HD. She really loves to pop off every little trail obstacle and traction is insane. I climbed everything today even though I'm total out of cycling shape and was too lazy to swap out my rear wheel with my winter knobbies...kept my Ralph's on. Still trying to work the fit cockpit wise. I went down 20mm on the stem with the HD3 vs the HD and still not sure if that was the right move...thinking I need a 70mm vs 60mm.

 

[Chader09]

What is your height, inseam, frame size?

 

[Ramjm_2000]

69" on the dot. Cycling inseem is 31.5"

Here's mine Waiting on some Goodridge brake lines, some anodizing work, and small parts. Should be ready to ride by next week!
Had to pose my 1st gen, 2nd gen, and my Cotic HT
