here's a direct picture
the projekt is still going on ...
but I'm still waiting since the eurobike fair on some new stuff like:
Syntace P6 seatpost, aluminum bolts, Xpedo pedals and so on
I hope that I can afford a Tune wheelset this year, but the one I have is good enough for a while.

OK, I want to add some personal information. I'm 24 years old and I live in Lahnau/Atzbach that's in Hesse in the middle of Germany. I started riding very early like, I guess the most of you, on a little bike for children. But because of my younger brother, I didn't have to drive it long and so I got a real Race-BMX. So he could use the small one. I think that was the time when I got the offroad virus. After a short time with a very heavy and cruel MTB. I got a good one like many of my friends and so we had always someone to ride with. We had a lot of fun building dh tracks. Very nasty ones without suspension. I also did a lot of other sports but cycling was always one of my favourites. Since 7 or 8 years cycling is my sport Nr.1 and I spend most of my money for it. Every experienced rider knows the difference between a heavy bike and a ww one. So that's why I like to improve my ride. Always a bit faster...
