200mm 888's with hard springs, can't remember the crank size, either 170 or 175 though nothing fancy. What's probably doing it is the soft rear spring, it's a 450 on there and I'm 14.5 stone, so a fair amount of sag, a 500 would probably be right, but that costs money Crying or Very sad

Nikki and I shall have have our steeds sorted by the end of the month! Expect pics then.

Nikki's receiving one from the first batch of production Diamondback Bandito '08s and I should finally have my prototype Identiti Krisis with nice short front end built up.

Happytimes! Smile

Nice kona, john. What made you get rid of the big hit?


How do you know I got rid of the bighit? Or are you guessing?


Just wanted something a bit racier and lower. (Obviously BigHits are tall with a high BB). It's low and long, a bugger on tight turns but its soooo sweet on everything else Very Happy

I was just guessing: I didn't think you'd keep the bighit and the kona!

Yeah i find mine quite long. The good thing though, is that height wise it feels like a hardtail.

How big have you gone on that beast?

Doesn't way too much more than my stab then. can't figure out how it only weighs that much though? Or are demo9 frames not as heavy as they appear?

Whats the secret!!?

too much media bullshit about freeride bikes having to be light.
all they need is a double front ring
