NSMB - 2012 Light DH Bike Build Off 7"+

If that frame was a small I would have bought it myself I think. Nice bike Philly.

Ooooo. That shade of blue looks cool!

Thanks guys! I was really interested in an m9 as well but decided to go in a completely different direction. It took a couple rides but I'm really getting used to it, quite different ride qualities when compared to the socom. Looking forward to seeing Bryan's bike!

that looks so slack! Is it much fun on anything other than really steep stuff?

The Intense M9 on the last page isn't usually my cup of tea but for whatever reason it looks awesome!

might be that uber light rear shock he's running in the photo. I hear those type of rear shocks run on the stiff side, with little to no sag……any word on that Philly?

You might want to consider the 2012 Manitou sticker(grey/black) kit Philly or maybe some custom ones…..if your interested in some custom ones PM me.

haha I completely missed the lack of shock :lol:

No official scale shot but it's a touch under 40lbs.

Damn dude, its sexy. Touch under 40 - you said it was a pig! TTB is right though, even in the pic with the shock it looks really slack. I'll have to giver a spin one day and see what that feels like - if you'll let me.

Got some Domain u-turns for my Bullit. Not really sure if it comes under DH, FR or AM bike but all I know is that it's fun as fuck to ride on anything I've tried it on so far. The Domains feel so much better than the old Boxxers, now I see what people meant about them having a harsh spike. The Domains feel a bit lighter than the Boxxers so I would guess it's about 35lbs now.

What model and year of Boxxers were you previously running?

2003 World Cup I think.

2003 World Cup I think.

:damn: That's vintage! No wonder the Domain is such an improvement.

haha they lasted me a summer riding at Whistler (after fanatyk replaced the seals) which is more abuse than they'll ever get in a year of UK riding so they're still solid forks! The Domain has started leaking oil from the rebound adjuster so I need to get that sorted out soon, buying 2nd hand is always a gamble :(

Something special I think

I said "special" right?

Woah no more intense! Good looking bike, love the colour combo.
