I blew my fox rc so I put a 5th element on. Wow!!! Great feel. I tried it out on the trails in Oregon and Washington this weekend. Makes my bike feel a lot more stable.

ON the way down I bought a new bike rack, specificaly a sportworks t2. Great rack easy to load and super strong.

^^titanium plate. Broke my heel last year.
^it feels soooo much better than the rc.

Do you get to keep the Ti plates or are they gonna come and retrive it? It'd be one of those things you could keep on to. ;)

nice shock btw. the bike looks really balanced.

[seand]

where did you ride while here in WA?

^^^The mountain cycle belongs to a friend of mine from Vancouver Washington. He worked at the factory over the sumer. He loves it but I am not sure on the weight, probably the same as any big dh rig.
^Went riding south of portland ( I forgot the name), also some riding at Hood river, and back into Washington to do this wild single track ride along a cliff edge!

The 9.5 is my bike. It is similiar to most dh frames as far as weight. 12.3 lbs with shock I believe. My frame is a bit lighter because of a prototype swingarm(thats the reason its covered in sharpie too - The laser etching guys used it to setup), but it has a pretty heavy build. It weighs in at about 46ish now that I replaced the monster. If anyone is interested in trying a 9.5 the Mountain Cycle guys are in whistler for crankworks with some new demo bikes.

As far as where we rode, 243rider and I went to falls city in oregon, post canyon in hood river oregon, and then syncline in bingen washington.

Attached are 2 pictures of my bike. The low quality one is most recent with my new white bros fork.
