Thanks, Spomer and Matt.... This year should be some good riding up there. I am sure I will be in the shop because lets be honest, who else do you guys have to make fun of besides Wentz - I cant have him taking all of the heat this summer.
Just built her two days ago. Still needs some finetuning in the cockpit and a complete service for the shock but otherwise she´s fine. Cant wait for summer!

What is that? Looks pretty unique. Why the super small chainring?

That´s a Last Herb DH. Last is a small german (and rider-owned) company that produces this wonderful frame among a few other things. It´s also been featured in last year´s Dirt 100. A friend of mine bought one and I wanted one ever since. The ride´s fantastic. When the opportunity presented itself a few weeks ago (he switched to a V10) I went for it. Currently it weighs in at about 18,2 Kilos, but I guess with some new wheels and such it will go well below 18.
The small chainring (36t) comes into play when combined with the 10-speed rear mech. That´s a 2011 X9 with a 12-36 cassette which gives me a neat 1:1 (or 1:3 on the small ring) ratio. I chose that because a lot of the riding around here has no uplifts available whatsoever and I want to be able to pedal a few hills without completely killing myself. And yes, there will be a telescopic seatpost on it one day. I like to think of it as an oversized Enduro
I hope you still come in to shop now and again. Steve is going to receive all the body blows without you to make fun of.
