here is a pre version ( v0.8 ) with getho xtr & winter wheels (ZTR Olympic/CxRays/Novatec)
Enjoy !

[TimmS]

That paint must be heavy, but WOW! nice bike!

[CBJ]

Nice bike I have ridden the 29r version for the last two years I really like the suspension design but going to the 2014 Sensor this year. Love the paint job!

[tskubi]

Thanks a lot,
To be honest these pictures realy don't do justice to the paint job, I'll try to take some more outside as soon as it stops raining in eastern France.

Here are some details of my custom marathon speedneedle.

Full stock,


After 4400 km : used leather & abused edges,


Step 1, naked without leather,


Step 2, post sanding,


Step 3, with its new rivets : 4 out of 6 were broken at the back,


Weight gain isn't bad at all, futhermore to someone who always wonder about the utility of the thin leather

Step 4, a total of 5 layers of mat varnish, our forum decals is sink under 4 layers : all this adds 5g.



Sexy isn't it ?

very cool, I'm loving the neon accents on the frame. this makes me want to get back into riding xc.

[tskubi]

Clean and beautifull it is... but this was before.

During this morning :


And at the end :


I'm out of shape in this early season and won't trust my first impressions.
I need a lot more time on this baby to give you my advice.
more to come soon.

New wheels and transmission on their way. can't wait

Nice ride Tskubi. Don't see much GT around anymore... How do you like the rear sus?

[Geoff]

Ok, that's nice, too.

[cerro]

Nice. But what happened to the Storck?

[tskubi]

Nice. But what happened to the Storck?

The Storck's frame got damaged due to a sudden contact/impact with a.. huge granitic rock.
Ok, I crashed.
Unfortunately the Frame is unrepairable according to storck's specialists.
