teka, wouldnt it be great kung small yung size ng frame ni joey? will a bigger sized frame make him slower? did he specifically order this size? good luck joey! more power.

Rocket,
What's wrong with having the Bentspoke decal on the frame? does it look gay for you?

No, I mean sponsors ng giant bikes yung maliit na "brand names"
naka print sa giant frames hardtail and full suspension bikes
wala na sya sa 08 dh frame, plain white and blue and giant logo na lang.

Went to "pattiis" this morning with GTULAY yeah it's wet again floor wax like rocky trail
Joey needs to "gamay" the bike, getting to know each other,
his comment the suspesnsion daw was hard, came with stock 500 lb spring,
but it works when the stuff get rough,
He will try to swaps a 350 lb spring from ih sunday.
yes the steerer tube not yet sawn still "testing" to find the swit spot
NEW on the bike
SDG seat and seat post yung walang rails, AY- beam pala, hehhehe
SUNLINE 28 inch wide V two handle bars double butted ito.
And V ONE CNC STEM, SUNLINE stem is Light, RACEFACe diabalous is heavy.
SUNLINE GRIPS?
OO - may SUNLINE na dito sa pinas! visit your LBS.
shimano DX clip pedals yun new model
ultegra sprocket
and that gold chain YBAN ba yung brand?
Un-weight the bike further maybe will look for another "lighter wheel set.
strip to metal the frame........joke.
the FRAME alone is a TANK - GIANT's reputed to be the strongest frame they have ever built.
Not WEIGHT WEENIE, just a plain simple DOWNHILL RACER!
remember if it is light you can FLICK it!
Me, i just watch joey ride today, > PRICELESS (you tot of a foreign rider in the world cups)
di pa race mode yun, he is just playing.....what!
PODIUM NA TO! (joey was the 05 sea games DH silver medalist)
Joey leaves this Tuesday.
