Okay boys, she's done. No more work on this baby, maybe spare some pedals or a rear brake rotor in the future. I'm planning on loaning or renting her out to friends and local riders, keep her in circulation, but selling her isn't in my plans anytime soon. She's my trophy, and I'm gonna hold on to her. Here's the specs:
'03 Draco V3, 4130 cro-moly, barbie pink and jet black paint job
'03 Sherman firefly, black, 20mm t/a, 90-130mm
Limited edition pink Chris King headset, upside down
Black 75mm(ish) stem
Bontrager crowbars XXX DH, cut to 26.5"
Intense lock-ons, sufficiently worn
Avid SD-7 brake levers
Hayes HMX-1 brakes w/ Braking wave rotor (front only) and Kool stop pads
LX chrome 8-speed shifter
Cyclepro (I think) seat post, 26.8mm
SDG Bel Air saddle, leopard print
170mm Profile cranks with cone spacers
AC Holeshot 36t chainring w/ Kooka bash
Azonic A-frame pedals
SRAM SR-89 chain
Shimano XTR med cage rear der.
Shimano 25-12 8-speed cassette
Atomlab Trailpimp wheelset
Intense 2.4 rear, 60d
Maxxis High Roller 2.5 front, slow reezay
Gold bullet valve cap, spoke toys
I gotta give a shout out to Dog for the seat and to Butti for the headset. Thanks guys.

we need to Pimp that bike out to the most possible extent. I have
some Brand New Rufians. Lets get a guide on there. Also a nice
wrap on that chain stay. I like the way you are thinking basikbiker,
good on you. I want that bike Proper for all who ride it. I have everything
and anything,plus the boys on this site,there is nothing we cant do!
Grande,many will love the Bike,just like the Foes. Let us know some more
thoughts on the matter. Thoses pictures suck,at least for me. Sorry,I
know you are doing your best. Like eureka said,it seems like yesterday.
Where you get your strength and attitude from,I'll never know Grande.

you should include the shoe laces and elvis glasses, and put that monster t back where it belongs, not on some silly dual suspension bike
cause dual crowns on hts are hella core

Downhill racing is not an extreme sport.
unless youre into that sorta thing...
