Story:
I bought this bike quiet a while ago, from RB, from a kid in Melb. It looks like he used it for some DH racing and sold it to upgrade to something a bit better suited.
As a result its got some pretty good signs of wear and tear. The rear wheel was flogged (cracked and bent) which I didn't know until I got it. But the kid was a champ and gave me some $$$ back to cover a new rim.
Here's how it looked in the brochure:
Mine looked like this:
I swapped out the front wheel to get it up and going:
I rode this for a while in this configuration.
Tried to take it for big jumps off little jumps:
Fell off it: (skip to 2:20 for the interesting stuff)

It wasn't until I bought a more gravity orientated frame that this changed.
I stole a fair few parts off this to get get my Blindside up and running (http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/showthread.php?288985-Transition-BlindSide)
So since then it was been sitting as a frame in the garage needing some love.
As parts for the Blindside rolled it, it freed up the parts to rebuild the Range.
This last weekend it finally saw it get rebuilt.
