+2 on the build - looks sweet Sumgy...+1... real purty.
Sumgy - now for my questions:
1. Ya gunna get a low mount front mech to get around the interference with the bottle mount?
2. Why the Middleburn cranks (and not XTR like the rest of your group)?
3. The Silverado seat - does it have relatively wide "sit bone" support?
And Bodin - I think the Silverado's are about 130-135mm wide, about the same as a Fizik Gobi...

Thanks for that info - I'm using a Gobi at the moment.

To add to the ti flavour on page 1 here's my enduro rigs. Same same other than year model. 2009 for the satin and 2010 for the polished one.
2009 comes in at 9kg neat. 2010 comes in heavier at 9.8kg thanks to slightly different frame & powertap in the rear(chainstays have bullet tips and added brake brace and slightly heavier duty sliders and a different head tube. Geo remains the same) Enough drivel. To the pictures

Have had a few dirt rides on her now and she is a heap of fun to ride.
Was riding with a couple of guys yesterday at Bunyaville and they could not believe how fast she just rolls through the singletrack.
Corners like a dream and is one of those bikes that is just confidence inspiring to hop and drop of stuff that I may not usually.
A dirty pic for you:

Not really sure what you are trying to say but if you think that the saddle to bar drop is too great I can tell you that it is less than 3".Awesome bike. I wouldn't be able to descend a driveway with a setup like that.
I'm guessing when your racing that its easier to keep an eye on the bloke behind you by looking down between your legs rather than over your shoulder
If you cannot ride a bike with that little amount of saddle to bar drop you seriously need to work on your flexibility.
That pic makes it look worse than it is.

I'm guessing that once the forks have sagged a little it looks like a 4 inch drop to the bars but maybe its just the angle.
Not a criticism by any means. I'm a 3 - 4 times a week social trail rider rather than a pro racer.
Personally my downhill confidence turns to nothing when my bars are any more than an inch below my saddle.
Just an observation thats all.
Love the bike though.
