:madmax: Talk about a FR - DH Rig.... Tough as Hell! External Grease Ports! Time Proved Linkage! I have got a True Stiffy. I'm talking about my rig, dude. Needle bearings and beefy linkage gives incredibly stiff rear end. Corners unreal. The headtube is like a keg. The One.Point.Five headtube allows for a shorter stack height and more adjustability with your fork. Allows you to really pin the switchbacks and tighter turns. Full Length seattube. STOP. Realize all FR bikes should have a full length seattube, DUH! If it doesn't, then it is lame. My rig pedals right up Colorado single track at about 42 lbs. Full leg extension. I will race this bike DH. I run a 888 RC2X, Roco RC. Stable Platform--> Not Nessacary-->JUNK. This bike will knock your dick in the dirt. You better recognize when I come blazing past you. Tell me what you think....................
