after a customer failed to pick up a set of forks i ordered for him, i decided that i must put them to good use.....
so i bought a gt idrive frame off another forum member and set to work with the strip and powdercoating.
its still not finshed as it needs a few more graphics before final laquering, but its been out on its test runs and all is sweet!
spec...

rockshox reba team fork
fox float r rear shock
deore xt front and rear hubs

shimano 9 sp cassette

Very nice, I do like I-drives, Forces and Sensors, They are not everybodies cup of tea, but I like them.
I have the 2007 Frame
How much travel do you have up front?0 -
Those are such interestingly designed frames, I love them!
What's the final weight on everything?0 -
its got 120mm up front.
not sure on the weight, ill have to go and buy some scales in a bit.0 -
Very nice, like the colours, must be a nightmare to keep clean
How do you find the saddle, out of interest? I was quite tempted by one of those myself.0 -
saddle seems fine, if not a little thin and springy.
seems to be comfortable and supportive enough so far, but it suits the bike so thats all that matters! LOL0 -

stav, if you buy one. expect delivery to be over a month, its slow, but it will turn up.0

Haha, thanks mate, I'm in no rush, my saddle is fine at the moment, they just looked very good for the price!
Cheers again for the info 0 -
