what an ugly seat

[Chunk]

It looks alot better than your last update. Just a few touches and it will primo

[Luke]

so are u riding dual brakes, and is that the rear shock your gunna be riding i thot yours was black?

[Rosscofat]

mine will be black.. i will have a 6ti front 205mm rotor and the rollers will be goin grey/black also a SHORT cage XO Derail. nothing else is changing.

Gotta thanks caps in richmond once again for giving great service great laughs and Ian Nelson 1 very good bike mechanic!!

[Chunk]

I bet if you slid the seat back on its rails a bit, it would give the bike a less "upright" look.

But of course, that is a pinkbike comment. Your seat shoudl be set as you want it, but based on looks alone, scoot it back some.

[Bat Man]

i hate you so much you rich bastard!

just kidding, but i am very jelous

[Rosscofat]

oh yeah no wonder it felt weird.. thats what I forgot to do! good call CHuck thx ill do that!

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b80/RosscoA/FINISHED-0016.jpg big fucking S for sick.

[cameron]

wow ross, it looks amazing.

good job ian!

[Ari_243]

sweet mother or jah jah

[Neo]

fuck thats a nice bike... except for that SEAT!! ;)

[Chunk]

Hahaha! no prob.

[spookymilk]

new seat and headset plz.

[Rosscofat]

headset never gunna change.. its tribute to my fallen red DOC that started the pimp bike build off.. :)

RED CK is just as bling as a black.

[Midas]

freeriders dont need XO.

[SubPlop]

You and your show-bikes...:crybaby:

It's very nice. I wouldn't have gone with a red headset on an otherwise colour-coordinated bike. Btw, that seat is pretty...uhh...let's just say beefy.

Austin

[spookymilk]

it's gonna look like shit if you paint it any colour other than anodized red

[fattirerider]

I just got those sycros pedals and I dont like them. The stock pins are way to long theres no sliding your foot into position if it bounces abit. I swapped the pins and it still is like standing on nails.

May have to get some atomlab

[-JNL-]

duno what ppl are talkin abt that seat is pimp. Good job rossco the grey deity matches nice.

[BrendanHowey]

wow.. gonna be amazing i bet.

[M@M]

personally, there are many parts on it I would never use. However, that is jsut my prefence, and you may love those parts, along with a good chunk of the bike riding population. Only other thing i dont like is the poo-brown color. the sx trail would have matched better, imo. Very nice build. looks like you put alot of thought into it.

[skifreak]

big fucking S for sick like aids.

Wow Ross - what an idiotic comment

[SEKTER13]

Looks good Ross, I actually think the seat would look fine if it was a lil further back, which you plan on doing anyways. Only thing that really detracts from it IMO is the orange on the rollers and on those tires.

[matt shaw]

Not as epic as I thought it would be

[Universe]

Huge disappointment.

[0_o]

Sometimes I wish you were 99% done.

[dead_sailor]

that's hottt

[.Robinson]

nicest enduro ive seen,except it has by far the ugliest seat ever.

[menehune]

dude, what'd i tell ya? tomac red and purple ano wins the batches...
ps: you're tires are hideous. they do not match your rollers. i may be jealous but swap that shit out for black pronto. please.

[stubz]

sickkk. since when did diety make grey stuff?

[Rosscofat]

they made grey for over like 6 months now or longer? last interbike...

yes ok the CAPTAIN OVIOUS HERE.. I KNOW the orange sucks no shit kids way to point out the ovious.. atleast chuck can point out somthing no one has noticed..


Yes I might get the tires colored or buy a pair of 40a super tacky minnons
XO only was bought cuz I have money to wipe my ass with.. and why not get the bling parts that do the same as the cheeper parts.

the brown is very hot the red is never gunna go even if it does ruine the bike. tribute to my red doc. u can all hate it and laugh but none of you own it so all I do is smile and ride on by.. :)

[Loopie]

Brown and orange are related colors and do in fact go together when used right. Cover the yellow on the tires, get the black rollers...and you'll see that the orange stripe will probably look pretty good :)

The profile and positioning of the seat is hideous...anyone can see that, so no need to make Chunk out to be some kind of rocket scientist ;)
About seats and positioning...I always just thought it was a preference all you kids needed for your tricks and shit.

[Rosscofat]

its great pinch and more forward the better for me.. from a side angle the seat is ugly but meh. amazing DJ seat and feels great. remeber you gunna b sitting on it more then staring at it from a side :) the yellow on the tires?

[Uncle Joey]

I want one of those frames :|

[Loopie]

remeber you gunna b sitting on it more then staring at it from a side :) the yellow on the tires?
Ima downhiller...all the seat does is keep the post outta my ass.

You're asking me "what yellow?"...turn the A.D.D. off for second and look again. There is only one thing that is huge and glaringly yellow that I could possibly be refering to :lol:

[Rosscofat]

I didnt think i ment MAXXIS :( but id never take that off.. but the orange must go. and the rollers are getting their soak job tonight.

[Dan0]

Those are probably the scariest pedals ever made.

[Rosscofat]

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b80/RosscoA/FINISHED002.jpg LOOK A NEW SKEWER.. METAL!!!



ALSO DEAD on about the pedals. super scary but lovee the grip and feel super good for trix

[Chunk]

The profile and positioning of the seat is hideous...anyone can see that, so no need to make Chunk out to be some kind of rocket scientist ;)


:lol:

[g1mpy]

why is the seat so bad? I like it.. ha

I'd ride that bike if I had to... I guess....

[JSinclair]

As for teh pedals, Thake the middle 4 pins out of each side. Leave teh outside ones on. It will give the pedals a more curved base and keeps the traction as your shoe bends into the curve. It make teh pedals easier to shift around on a bit as well. Less damage when you shin yourself is an added bonus.

As far as the Orange rollers, that is nothing a permenent marker can't fix. Color those bad boys in dude.

You could do teh same with the orange stripe on teh Maxxis tires as well. Even if the Blacks don't match on the tires, 2 tone black would be way more pimp than orange.

[thewalrus]

nicest enduro ive seen,except it has by far the ugliest seat ever.

It would look really nice with:

Please post a final weight when it's done!

[C.C.]

Sick bike Ross. You know how to draw an audience. It's got character.

[Battlecat]

its so new!!

[E.Long]

i dont understand why you guys dont like the tires or the rolers. i think it looks awesome to be honest. but maybe i just dont have that sence or eye for colour cordination or just whatever looks good. either way, i like it the way it is.

[-spanky-]

wooow, is all I have to say. that's amazing. how much did that thing end up costing you all together?

so you've had a bunch of nice bike, but can you ride?

[Rosscofat]

cost me under umm 2800 i added it all up :)

[NooNer]

for all the hype, its just another bike. go ride it, kick the shit out of it, and show it the abuse it deserves. try not to get hit by a car or have this one stolen ;)

[B RAD]

that looks amazingly clean, sick build

[snizzy]

looks super rad build wise

cosmetically i would have gotten the white diety parts, just cause grey isnt white, and its not black, its like that person who just hangs around...and u dont really notice them.

aswell the tires...

but thats me being a nit picker...all the parts id be stoked on as is.

plus it depends on how you look at your bike...function or feng shuai?...dag i spelt that horrible.

[locationplus]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOT ross we should ride big bikes in vic soon! we got sum trials

[Emmens]

ross , ross , ross,ross what happened no thomson seat post, yjay was the first thing i noticed and as for everything else it is very nice but just one question if you were going for light weight which i assume you are (xo carbon guide all around light stuff) why did you use steal cranks , personaly would have gone x type atlas and a thomson stem and a answer pro taper bar in gold then that would basiclly be my dream bike , o ya and maybe some michelin comp 16 x 2.2 either way cool bike

[Dantes Inferno]

What a nice bike, too bad its ugly.

Youve outdone yourself on the partspec though.

[Jay T.]

fucking nice, i luv how it looks, and the parts are so rad

[Rosscofat]

Cuz Deity I love Deity never change.. i am getting my thompson masterpeice dont worry. the cranks are only 2.3 lbs.. i was gunna get carbon bash but then if i hit it its done.. so thats not useful.. Grey is LOW KEY.. I didnt want it to jump out as much.. more like hey grey... and then carry on.

its at 40ish lbs right now. bit more then I wanted but thats ok. its compact clean and will stay working at whistler, Thats all I asked for. simple. the Orange as we speak is beeing died

[kalisto]

Coloured in? Or new tires?

[Ninja]

What a nice bike, too bad its ugly.

Youve outdone yourself on the partspec though. Wow. A compliment and a dig all at the same time.

If people have nothing good to say keep it too yourself. NSMB doesn't need to be full of haters.

I like the bike Ross. Post up the final weight when it's done.

[Rosscofat]

final weight will be around 41lbs.. same weight as my Pink le toy 3 SS :)

[synchro]

[synchro]

we're everywhere and we're talking over. wayne is now in charge of the kamloops office.

[SubPlop]

That rig is unreal.

Planning some trail rides already?

chad

[BrianPark]

So my question is, why spend so much $$$$$ if the way you build it up isn't going to save you any weight? Strength? I dunno.....

[TheSubHumans]

It's a beautiful bike, but i don't so why theres so much hype.

Now go get it dirty.

[Rosscofat]

think about this.. what cost the most on the bike.. brakes... CK hubs and frame.. all very strong good parts and not very heavy

so it worked great :)

and it wont b dirty

its a show bike
I put a rain tarp over it on the bus when i go somewhere and when I will take it to whistler it will have a full cover over it.

[bikerboyriley]

wats it weigh?

[Rosscofat]

40lbs :) strong and stern :)

[BrianPark]

My point is, with the money you spent, you could easily have made a bike just as strong, but about 5 lbs lighter.

[Rosscofat]

hmm i spent under 3G can u buikt a bike as RELIABLE and lighter and stronger?

[matt shaw]

$50 to the first person to key his bike

[Rosscofat]

id say somthing but id get banned.. so yeah

[Universe]

Don't let that hold you back.

[matt shaw]

I'm just playing around

[BrianPark]

hmm i spent under 3G can u buikt a bike as RELIABLE and lighter and stronger?
Yes I can.

[Rosscofat]

really. with what parts?

[seand]

ross man, i think you could live w/out 3 freakin threads about the same thing....

[0_o]

^ why dont you do something about it? arent you admin?

[seand]

just did...the thread is locked...i have no read through it, as there could be some good information in here, so I am hesitant to delete it...
