I always dreamed of having this bike when I was younger and first started getting into cycling, so when the opportunity presented itself for me to buy the frame and rear shock, I jumped at it. I sold my previous steed to Rory, and with the proceeds from that, started to spec it out, nothing major, just what I could afford, it's running a complete Deore group, the front shock is a Judy Air, and the original rear shock was a Fox Foat RC. Sadly the location of the rear shock meant it was in the direct path of road grime and mud. I used this bike for a commuter for a while and the grit from the road eventually worked it's way into the seals and blew out the shock, now I run a Rock Shox that took some special work to make it fit but it works like a dream.
If you would like to submit your "rig" for a future ROTW, email a picture, description, and story to ricky@thebike.ca
