man is it fun, and was a steal (2nd hand, but you can't tell)

-2007 Chromag Stylus M
-2007 Marz AM1 SL
-2007 Magura Louise BATs
-2007 X9 Der and shifter
-RF Atlas cranks, Diabolus Headset, bar and stem (ugh heavy..)
-Welded Rhynolites
-Ringle hub, and post
-My old WTB Rocket V seat.
and some sketchy Nokian tires, but man are they fast.

needs tubeless, 400mm post, Clipless pedals (acids??), and lighter bar/stem.

Dave, can I borrow your scale.. :)

[Lady Gravity]

nice....
is that nelsons? steel is real :cool:

[Air Supplier]

awsome color

[LIPS]

I think you need a longer seat post:lol:

[connor]

I think you need a longer seat post:lol:

actually I do, I need a 400mm. I climb with my seat pretty high, but wanted a shorter tt. :P

no, it's not Nelson's. his is a Large.

[fattirerider]

How tall are you? I'm 6'2 and always think I want a large and then after getting one wish it were a medium for the shorter tt. I've spent way too much time on Chromag's site recently looking at the stylus and Gypsy frames.

Nice looking bike!

haha me too, I'm like 5'11, but with a 33in inseam. So I would rather ride a slightly smaller frame with a longer post. Nelson's got a large for sale....

[Nelson]

Looks hot Connor. IF you want a nice set of tubeless wheels for cheap lemme know :P

Grease the shit out of the inside of the seat tube or else you're going to get a brown seatpost;)

Looking at your build i want to say 36Lbs...

[fattirerider]

You bet I've contemplated getting it. I think if i'm going to get one I'll buy one made in Canada, in medium. Correct me if i'm wrong but the Stylus is made over seas? Might cost more though, Chromag offer any discounts if your a bike shop employee? We don't carry chromag allthough some companies will hook you up.

[biggles604]

It's a little bit lighter than my Six, so it's lighter than 36, but not by much.

[the Master Plan Dan]

Connor you get dreamier by the second. Hardtail Army is building strength... watch out.

Next week we ride Fromme on the Hardtails... any other takers?

[Timmigrant]

Nice Connor!

It was nostalgic riding my HT last night for the first time in ages. I can see some HT rides with that Dan dirtbag coming up in the near future.

[Sharon]

nice bike!

HT's keep you honest!

[djb]

Yep. I just built up a Stiffee and man, it rips!

[menehune]

Beautiful hardtail!

I've got some unused acids from my ransom that i'd let go for cheap.

PM me with a (reasonable) offer within your price range.

[J-Kwon]

bhaha, how much did you lower the price by?

[connor]

Connor you get dreamier by the second. Hardtail Army is building strength... watch out.

hells yeah.

ps it has a hollowpin chain too. man those wheels seem heavy though.

So it is written... we shred the GNAR on HT next week...

Show those Fully's what we is made of.

Sven... I know you have one lurking around some where and I happen to have brake set that you can switch out if your brakes are still not up to par...

[Wayne P]

I'm not too keen on HT's on the shore, but up here man they're a pleasure to ride. Fast and efficient.

36lbs? Damn...

[connor]

yeah yeah. . You wanna huck your Spark off anything more than 6in tall? The Chromag frames are made to take a beating. Guys race Psychosis on them. I'll get it around 30lbs...

I look forward to it. I'd rather ride my Nomad though!

Comments like that will get you no where in our army buddy!

You're kind of dreamy though... so you can stay in the army... CBC, TNT... then the mountain decides... or a nice rip down Cypress...

can we shout "Hardtail Pride" as we're riding??

I wonder how my P2 will hold up on trails now I've got a better fork... Depending on what you ride, I may be in for the rip.

[Timmigrant]

Fixed.

Urrgggg ... if we're riding hardtails we're doing it soul of the shore style. I propose an old skool ride on Fromme. You gotta earn you vert buddy.

And no yelling "hardtail pride", thats just embarrassing on a "soul of the shore" ride. Guys that rode with suspension forks back then were softies. Only "rigid pride" may be yelled ... if you're on a rigid ... and then you're WAY more man than me, because I draw the line at 7" forks.

Thanks for keeping me in the army ... I'll filter my "full suspension is better than hardtail" comments in future.

[Hoodlum]

Nice bike man. exactly how much does that beauty weigh?

[the Master Plan Dan]

Ummmm... nope!

I expect that you be there... just no humping, kissing... or general fondling of anyone thank you!

SHIZAH.... sure... but the single speed thing might kill me!

But I'll do it for the ARMY!

Werd!

[Wayne P]

yeah yeah. . You wanna huck your Spark off anything more than 6in tall? The Chromag frames are made to take a beating. Guys race Psychosis on them. I'll get it around 30lbs...

ahahaha... point taken. ;)

That and I hear Wayne has a tendency to fall off his bike whenever it starts moving downhill.

[Wayne P]

You should see my endo going uphill. It ain't pretty.

[Silk]

HaHa such a tease

Do you even remember where fromme is located Mr Masta Plan?

[biggles604]

Only because he lives at the bottom, I'm not sure he knows how to get to any of the trails though.

[Timmigrant]

Which day is this lack of rear squishiness disaster going down?

[the Master Plan Dan]

I was thinking... because I have no idea where the trails are... that someone will have to show me the light....

Mid week? I have a date with my girl on that mountain sometime next week... so I guess not that day!

DAn

[Nelson]

I'll get it around 30lbs...

No you won't. :P

Mine was at 32lbs with pretty much everything top end. Good luck.

[enduramil]

nice....
is that nelsons? steel is real :cool:

Steel HT for life!

[M@M]

gah, this is giving me a severe urge to pull out the old ht and go for a ride. get beat up by the trails. First, fork needs rebuild, but other than that...
oh wait, and my fucking elbow probably needs surgery. :(
I guess the ht goodness will wait.

[M13]

very nice ht. That's all I'm gonna say.

[connor]

No you won't. :P

Mine was at 32lbs with pretty much everything top end. Good luck.

yeah, but my fork is lighter, barely..

[Wayne P]

yeah yeah. . You wanna huck your Spark off anything more than 6in tall? The Chromag frames are made to take a beating. Guys race Psychosis on them. I'll get it around 30lbs...

P.S. I never built my CROSS COUNTRY hardtail for drops of any kind. ;)

[shirk]

Damn thats a pimp Chromag.

My ht hasn't been out since our CHLT-unit ride. Might just have to join in on this little ht love fest ride.

[Timmigrant]

P.S. I never built my CROSS COUNTRY hardtail for drops of any kind. ;)

And as a rider with your roots firmly planted on the Shore you should be ashamed for that comment.

[the Master Plan Dan]

After the pounding that my bike took this weekend... she is going in to get a once over by the good folks at On Top... well the fork needs some work... so once I have her back... we will lay shred... might I suggest Cypress?

Or better yet Fromme?

I want to hit up some Gnar dirt jumps...

DJ at Lafarge or Loutet this week then?

[shirk]

Was at Loutet last week. The big middle jump has a new lip that looks to send you into orbit for a space mission.

As a rider with my roots firmly planted in common sense, I'm not about to take my 3.5lb Easton Ultralite frame off drops. ;)

[Lady Gravity]

DJ at Lafarge or Loutet this week then?

keep me posted if you do - i'm needing some encouragement to hit the rest of the 8pack at lafarge
