The only other photos I have are in my profile: http://markw.pinkbike.com/album/2008-Race-Bike/.

Yeah, handles drops awesome. I think its the extra 2 inches it has over most other DH chassis I've tried. Very forgiving. It's a world-class bike, so it pretty much does whatever you throw at it.

They are awesome. '08 was my second season with them, and they held up through everything. Super light, and super fast.

33.22 lbs. Most people don't believe me. But I did my homework when I picked the parts. I've weighed it on three or four different scales.

It is a logo from the shop that sponsors our race team, River Valley Cycle, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Couldn't agree more. To mock someone's emotions for putting everything on the line and coming up short can only serve as proof that the poster of this image/quote has never taken a risk or put their heart into anything in their life. Pathetic.

I've actually got a set of the white lowers with red decals sitting in storage. Maybe next time I service the fork, I'll throw them on and see how they look.

Yeah there are two ways to get the red and black boxxers. One way is the way you described with the boxxer team lowers and red decals. The other (real) way is to be sponsored by SRAM/Rockshox. You can tell the real version from the home-made version by looking at the arch. The real version has a 'World Cup' decal under the clear coat on top of the arch.

Sorry. I'm not very tolerant these days...

It is perfect for hard pack dirt, which is what I ride on most often here.
