Well, finally got one of my two bikes built up. Heres my new hardtail. rides great, very simple, yet strong. check it out:

setup is the following:
Azonic steelhead frame
2003 Sherman Firefly
Hussefelt crankset
Ditch witch front rim w/ 2.7 intense tire and specialized hub (soon to be upgraded because the wheel isnt mine)
Rhyno lite rear rim w/ specialized hub and 2.35 maxxis high roller set up with a SS setup. 32 in front, 18 in back.
Shimano disc brakes (i think alivio, not sure haha).
Specialized pedals (to be replaced because the pegs are worn)
kona stem and specialized bars.

i took most of the parts off of my old hardrock pro off (like hte bars and the hubs), so thats where all the specialized comes from. so yeah, tell me what you think.

Nice. In the second pic it looks like your tire is rubbing the frame. Better check the alignment. Nice bike though.

You should reduce the travel on that Sherman. See my thread in Let's Talk About Shocks.

the travel is only 5", and i can reduce it to 110 if i want, but i think the 130 is perfect on it. as for the seat, thats because i had taken the seat out to wash the bike and hadnt tightened it yet. other than that, thanks for the comments

Hey, this must be PJ from NJ. I'm pretty sure I'm the one who traded you for you Zocchi.
The pic links aren't working for me, but glad your the fork worked out with your frame man! Sounds like a sweet ride.

You'll break it if you ride it in the lowered position with the travel adjust. I meant permanently lowering it.

i had cleaned it right before takin the pics. the bike really holds up. Ive been pushing my limits a little bit on it and trying new things and it is taking everything I throw it at with little or no trouble. I love this thing, heh
