What I will ride @Manwa Sunday: My new Trance X

Picked up the frame on a Friday night when the trails were dry. Finished building it early next morning, and by that time there was 3+" of ice and snow on the ground :-(
The Fox 32 TALAS RLC fork is the gem on this bike... flip a lever 90 degrees and the fork will switch from 140mm to 120mm to 100mm of travel-- so you can effectively change your ride height and steering angle on the fly. The rear end has 127mm of travel.
