Functional But Not Finished
As of 8-30-11, functional but not finished. Plan is to swap the bar and stem and post for silver, the seat collar for blue, the rear skewer for blue, and eventually rebuild the front wheel with a blue hub. The pink bottle cage will stay, natch. Fork: Reba RLT Ti 120mm 20mm TA. Rear Shock: Fox RP23 w/ Boost valve and Kashima. And try to control yourselves, but I moved to 9 speed with this build finally. Currently 2x9, might become 1x9 depending on the use the little ring sees. Trying to dial it in this week for Shenandoah.

i see someone has been a real poor influence on you!
that could have numerous meanings...
Black bars to match the fork, maybe? I'm definitely glad to hear about the silver post and stem...didn't want to detract earlier if black was your plan from the get-go.
Wait, trainwreck isn't calling me a poor influence from the gay 80's ano perspective is he? We all can't have Steelers bikes, so we've gotta do the best we can!
Go blue ano, every blingy bit you can get your hands on.
Brett was my white bike influence, either that or the one choice specialized offered....
It just kinda grew once I received the frame and it was polished instead of the expected black. Then I picked out the blue pivot hardware and thought it would be pretty cool to carry that around the bike. Helped I had a blue hub on the back already. Found the blue Cane Creek 110 headset and started going from there. Stem's already swapped for silver. Post and bars will happen soon.
And yes, I was looking at the possibility of a blue BB--Hope, King, or Enduro--but that was over the top for now since I had a new XTR at the house.
So, influence? dunno. Surely other bikes and my own OCD?
It was a blast last night in the tech stuff.
hey man! i have to take my shots at scot anytime i can! he was even a poor influence on me. i bought gold bling for my bike too you know!
i did refrain from scouring ebay for blue stems, though. a blue thomson faceplate might be cool, though....
gah! stop!
Yes! Stop!! ;-)
