NSMB - 2012 Light AM/FR bike build off 4-7"

That bird house is trippy.Oh,and nice bicycle.

So I actually rode my bike! Suspension is just about dialed in. Need a hair less air pressure in the fork, but this bike is heaps of fun. Slack [HTML_REMOVED] low trail bikes are awesome. Can definitely feel the extra wheelbase on really slow and tight stuff, but everywhere else I'm loving it.

Are those Deity Blacklabel bars? How do you like them? Torn between picking up those or Atlas FR

Yes they are. They are a fine aluminum tube. I like 5x9 up and back-sweep bars, so if you like that shape, you're golden. I cut them down to about 29.75"

Nice bars! I'm obligated to make the plug.

I'm running them on my DH bike. They are the same rise and sweep that I loved in the Sunline bars, but look a lot flashier (I was surprised at how nice the bead blast/polish finish looks, stealthy yet striking) and come at 31" so I can run them at a wider length. I did cut mine down to 30, which is not much wider than a stock Sunline bar, but it's where I wanted my hands.

Photo doesn't do them justice (that's my light weight Freeride bike in the background too so this shot should be allowed :P):

Well here's my contribution, weighing in at just over 27lbs with the flats on. It's the closest i've had to having a 'do it all' bike. I opted for 150 32's to save weight over the 36's and although it does get a bit lost on the really steep stuff, i've found it to be a good compromise. It rides like a 4X bike and pedals really well. I've raced some 4 hour enduros on it over winter and will be attending as many of the UK gravity enduros as possible…

well might as well join the party. 2011 giant reign zero. added chromag fubar osx, and lynx saddle, still to come ranger stem, also going to swap out the crankbros for a reverb. The kenda tires are also not long for this world. pretty stoked to be on fresh rig after 3 years on the hustler! no weight, but it's a few pounds lighter than the hustler, so I'm happy for now.

looks slick. too clean though.

well I did just pick it up yesterday and there's 30cm of fresh to the valley in whistler…pow skiing showed be sick tomorrow though!

Crappy photo once again. Replaced old frame with new. Same weight.
