Re:
great purchase, I just picked one up from ebay...NOS.....fresh bike, looks alot like the black one posted with the black rock shox rs-1 on it.
Since its new, I'm hanging it for now...I have a mint white one that I'm building to ride.
I want to look into the risse shock upgrade, do they do the valve tuning also?, or if I have to do myself, is there a certain hole size thats a good (I know it depends) average place to start?....or a method to doing this tune?
Thanks for any info and all the info in this thread already....I so want to ride one of these bikes.

With regards to the Risse shock, the stock jet hole is .062".
0.070" should give a supple shock for a 13.5 stone rider (~1.75mm).
You can go to a larger size jet hole, up to .125". Just take a small drill and open up the jet hole. .010" at a time.

Thanks for the tips, I'll be doing this to my white one, but I will ride it as it is first so I have something to comapre to.
Also, I did notice that my rear link has some play in it, not much but it's not firm (the white one looks like it was barely ridden).
I got the new black one and it feels exactly the same, is there an adjustment for this or is this normal?
I did read a previous post concerning this area but was wondering if this is the same thing.
Thanks again.

ok, i gotta get soem better pics, but the interesting thing is my serial numbers.....

SWEEET...I got frames built one after another....
the black one seems to have a sparkly purple highlight to it in the sun (the paint job looks brand new).
I think they used something in the clearcoat over a black base...kinda cool.
I'll get some pics too, but the ones I took were terrible.
