Awesome bike, even in the snow! And if your bored biking with it you can play guitar on it.... :shock:

Thanks guys! Only one thing I want to change: the Rock Shox Mag crown/steerertube into a RS Mag 21 SL Ti crown/steerertube! Anyone who can help me with this?

It is so ugly it's awesome. When you start off with that green you kinda have to take it all the way. I like it.

Here is a photo of one I found from a few years back. I thought you guys might enjoy it.

The best looking bike for me! At least the most different from the "usual" concept of MTB...
The combo Mantis green and 3DV it's the perfect union!!!
To reach the perfect machine it would be great to find a Chris king in 3DV.
Some shots of mine...

Very nice collection you have!
Yes I have a Chris King headset in purple, but decided not to use it.
I will show you why next week!
