    Stunning, simply stunning! It must kill you not to be able to ride her yet, but I am sure you'll log many happy miles as soon as you can. You did a lovely job with the design and must be very proud!

    Gorgeous! Maybe part of your healing process can be envisioning yourself riding your new best friend!

    aha, i was right! this bike turned out really well!
    While you can't ride it, you can gaze at it and take lots of pictures of it.

    what does 5.5" travel bike mean?

    I hope you heal up really soon!

    Thanks. I started massaging over the weekend. Ouch! If you twist my arm I will post a photo.
    "Travel" on a mountain bike means how much "squish" the suspension will give you. So with this bike it will "sag" a little just from me sitting on it and then when I hit all those bumps I have a 5" shock on the front fork, and the back suspension/ rear shock will soak up 4.25". Ahhhh....
    Plus, the front fork is adjustable so when I am climbing I can drop it down to 3" or 4" to correct the geometry. I can totally lock out the fork so it doesn't bounce and the rear shock can be switched to very little travel. Spoiled, I am!

    Definitely a unique one of a kind bike. It's awesomely beautiful. Have fun riding (once you get a chance). 5" travel bikes are very plush. Downhills are so easy! (sortof). I love the newer components - my Specialized had ProPedal with the full squish, lock out and Propedal - I usually just kept it on ProPedal. My new Santa Cruz has the same thing. It's like a hard tail climbing but comfortable downhill.

    Let me know what you think of the SRAM shifters. I passed on those - just thought for me (since I am such a dufus) maybe too difficult but friends love them!

    Happy trails - a beautiful bike well deserved. Hope they do this again. I might have to come up with something and win me a bike (as if it were that easy!!!)

    FBG: What a wonderful bike and aren't you glad that other people will be able to ride on your design as well. It really is quite beautiful!

    Simply stunning! It makes me happy just looking at the pictures. Not being a mountain biker, I'd love to see that design on a road bike. I'll take one in blue, please .

    I hope your injury heals quickly, and I look forward to seeing pictures of you riding her.
