ahh
that last one, what kind of hight u have on that fork? 100mm's? I'm gonna build up my avalance next week (I hope) with a 100mm's fork and I am a bit worried about the geometri, my friend has the same frame with 80mm's and that works fine but. I'm gonna go for a rigid fork later on but...
What kind of adapter did u use for the disc? I have to ride with my old battered 8 speed, xt wheel for v's until I get around to find something that works for discs...

That's a nice frame, well done. Black and aluminium (silver) or black and white? Big difference imho.
I like black and silver as in TallPaul's post, and I'd keep the Manitou's, much nicer than Mag21's with all the CNC'd goodies. Then I'd echo the blue fork accents in details such as QR's, bottle cage, crank bolts etc.. just my 2 ct.
Enjoy!!

hmm
that's the one I've been looking at to, the problem is that I'm using avid BB7 mechanical brakes and well attaching the wire seems a bit tricky. they are really heavy to so, I'll have to consider changing to hydraulic brakes but the levers look so startrek on thoose, would be cool to have some XT topshifters in the future or maybe the paul/ barend converter. that might work. The fork could might work, or not work on my santa cruz it didn't work the angle got all messed up, but the GT should work... I hope. I'm not done painting the frame yet, but I'm hoping to get started building the bike next week or something like that...

Nice!
You can get a really nice shiny look on the alloy with a very soft cloth (like eh.. Flanel, does any dutchy know the english word?) and use a bit of alloy-polish. Rub very gentle and it will look very nice.
This was a lot of work.
I'll try to find a picture of Martin's 1991 GT Zaskar LE which I polished, I was proud of the result.
