Looks nice that, decent weight!

mcnultycop

Nice. Looks ace.

Lewis A

The first bike where fat bars actually look great!

felix.london

Nice. Good weight and bar matches fork stanchions...good work

ellsbells1973

Cheers guys, got it out on a few runs today, absolutely brilliant, just pops off everything and wants to go big all the time, pedals really light and very easy to manoeuvre once it's in the air :-)

Nice build. I like the idea of the Totems. Same A-C as Boxxers so same geometry.
Not sure about the weight though, theres no way that its more than 5lb lighter than mine (41lb on calibrated commercial scales)

ellsbells1973

Since the pictures were done I've replaced the tyres and downhill inner tubes to big Betty 2.4 ust, there is a kilo in saved weight straight away, andu I've only got a small frame as well, I don't now how accurate my scales are but I imagine probably about a pound or 2 out, it feels the same weight as my mates yt tues pro and his is 17kg

destroyed the left stanchion on my totem rc2 dh, after the lamest tumble you've ever seen and the forks decided to use a rocky bank as a brake, i had tried all sorts of filling agents but nothing would stick or give give it a perfect seal, gash was just too deep, probably the reason fork companies don't sell repair kits

managed to pick up some boxxers off ebay that are immaculate, and put some custom 2013 boxxer graphics on courtesy of slikgraphics.com, just need to send them off for a custom tune and correct spring too tftuned then its time to get revolution booked me thinks

Looking good. Shame the Totems died but Boxxers are very good

ellsbells1973

almost finished spending a bloody fortune getting the scalp to where i want it, just waiting on the arrival of some hope tech v2 brakes and rotors and some nukeproof carbon bars

This is awesome!! If I still rode dh this is exactly the bike I would be on with pretty much the same spec!!

Festerfeet

That looks like a great DH Liquorice Allsort - but in a very good way.

CitizenLee

Saw this when you posted on PB the other day. Such a nicely built bike!

I do think a black seat post would be the icing on the exceptionally well colour coordinated cake though

ellsbells1973

finally got my nukeproof carbon bars and hope v2 brakes fitted
