We are all enablers on MTBR afflicted with the same disease.david8613 said:hey guys here goes some more pics. i just threw on the shock and front derailer. she is a beauty, i can tell by the girth of the hydroformed tubes and the welds this bike is not gonna flex for anything! but man im going through a bad case of upgraditis. i was gonna just throw on my jet 9 parts and call it day, but my front hub wont fit, so i thought "should i just get new hub?" but then i thought "maybe ill just sell my current wtb/arch wheels and get a new set of flows with hope II hubs" then i thought man "she would look good with some white brakes let me sell my juicy seven brakes and get some hayes strokers" and now im friggen looking at that sweet ass hammerschmidt!!!!! were does it end!!!!:madman: :madman: :madman: somebody stop me!!!

Oh wow you really do have it bad! Pics look great, you can really see the offset in that linkage pic making room for Das Hammerschmidt! Hey might as well 'schmidt it up, I spent 4 hours on one (Nomad) in Switzerland this summer and liked it a lot. I probably wouldn't do it if it was my only bike, but that's not an issue. I'd do it - especially if you are gonna build the JET9 back up.david8613 said:ergon grips, joplin adjustable seat post, wtb saddle arrrrrgggghhh!
