so the raceface and protaper is the same bar?

SIXc Bars dh-able?

Maybe they should be spending more time fixing the issues with the forks than making custom one offs. I mean, whats he going to do when his brake arch snaps!

Any photos? I'm running this stem- but I'm not the hardest rider in the world.

It is the easiest way to get an FSR design to have such a low standover and cog. This bike has so much room, you even find yourself chucking your knees across the top tube. In any case, hydroforming has been around for YEARS and is hardly new.

Yes, read above!

Oh, Bike looks soo much better with a black seatpole :)

I really don't get this? They only unbranded product on the bike are the pedals? The rims are alex- but you do realize that they make just about everyones rims? As does wellgo for pedals? I'm yet to see the pedals, but I'm sure they will be just fine, they are a nice low profile with sealed bearings and heaps of pins- what more do you need. The rims are actually pretty bloody good and a reasonable weight. Very hard to flat spot or dent- I'd put them in the same class as Mavic 721's- yes I have run and owned both. They are much better than last years WTB. Appart from those two things every part on this bike is what most riders are buying and running. Saint, XO, Avid, DT, sunline, boxxer wc. This is not cheap gear, infact its not far from being as good as it gets.
