Are the OSX bars available for us regular folks?

Nice little collection BTW.

Is that for the new V10? I would have built up a Wilson instead.

Fair enough, any hints on the rest of the bike?

I'm not sure what to expect for the fork with that stem. Not 1.5 and not direct mount. Hmmmm.

Maybe a reign X on roids. I'm surprised you wouldn't have built up a YZF Wayne, you've had both a Wilson and a V10 give me some time buddy. haha.

Yeah I'll definitely have to bike lust the bar from time to time. It looks so rad in person.

Haha, well right now I'm trying to track down some 252mm double butted black spokes. The only place that has them in their catelogue is out of stock, so I might have to cut some longer ones down. I'm going to start assembling the bike today! The wheels will have to wait, hopefully not too long...
