Here are the custom road wheels and the bike outfitted for road.

That is one awesome ride Fox. With all of your upgrades, it cost more than my car. What fork do you have on it? It looks pretty long travel. 5.5 feet of air with two riders?!?! That's insane! I want to see a picture of that. Not that I don't believe you. It's just so cool that I really want to see a pic of it. A bike that cool jumping that high should be on the cover of Mountain Bike Action. Two thumbs up!! If you're ever in Vegas, give me a shout and we'll go for a ride.

Yeah, no pics means it didn't happen! LOL! Didn't have drones then so there wasn't any way for me to capture it myself. Took the bike into the woods and did a half-pipe with it too! That was CRAZY!! It is a long travel fork, I think it's 5.5" just like the rear. Don't remember exactly who's fork it is, air/oil, but the rear shock is a FOX. I will take a look tonight. It's in mothballs for the winter, hanging in my external 12'X40' shed.

Total for bike and upgrades was about $7,000, including completely new RaceFace cranks. Frame alone cost over $2,900 new, but I bought the entire bike, Michenlin UST Tubeless tires and wheels and mostly Aluminum parts, different cranks for $2,300. Think I got a good deal.

Yes indeed! Total madman! Of course the rear is a Fox....only appropriate. $2300 is an incredible price. I'd be all over that like wrinkles on a cheap suit.

12x40 shed? What else do you store in there, a locomotive?

Well I have to have someplace for all my bikes! And then there's all the parts for my bike shop, the pool table and the bar, and a myriad of other things. For the rest of my stuff and for my regular work shop there's the other shed, 12'X32' with a garage door too.

Doesn't sound like a shed.. Sounds like a small town...
