Often thought of doing my Avalanche like that, but for now its just that, a thought Thanks It would be a good project to do. Ultimately i did enjoy mine, just really hated the paint stripping. Probably best to pay a company to strip and anodize it rather than do it all by hand.

Had to get some new bars as the make do ones were horrible.  And because of the new bars in had to visit and actual shop and buy a stem.  Then after some very muddy xc rides I gave it a clean!  Now to decide whether or not to keep her or sell her? If I keep her I gotta get rid of the fox flexible forks. |

You didnt build it up that long ago, and youre considering getting rid of it already, thats cold hearted!  Looks great with the carbon bars and pro stem. I like that sticker on the top tube of the guy drifting. |

I think it's standard on the frame that sticker? I'm only considering it? The stable is quite full so considering selling this one or the fatty? |

Get rid of the fatty so you can get the carbon On-One fatty when it comes out

Assuming the grips are for #1 then black & pink. |

We went with spiked pink grips and normal pink clamps, I wanted the black and neon pink, I suppose I should let her choose some things
