wheres all the AMP experts ??

Indeed. :?

Something looks wonky there... That thing looks like it has something stuck in it's butt. :shock:

I know the chainstays sweep down to the rear dropouts on Amps, but still that bottom bracket really looks high, like 14 inches off the ground high, or am I seeing things? :LOL: :?

BB height looks normal to me...

Strangely enough, I saw an identical bike on my way to work this morning, particuarly bizarre considering the normal low level of stuff I normally see.
 
Thats lovely.

I think a lower rise black KORE stem would finish it off perfectly.
 
Great build :D
I like the Mercedes Benz handlebargrips, nice detail.

Is that damper fully inserted to the seatstays?
 
HI Pickle... yeah, myself n kestonian are on the look out for a nice Kore stem with lower rise... hopefully it betters the angle..

Kestonian, perhaps you can try inserting the damper further in like what Jakob said... looking at the pics now, think i'd do that if the bikes still with me

No, it doesn't go into the frame in the same way that, say, a Boulder does.

I think this bike would look awesome in black with the black stem, a plain saddle, white decals, and some black cranks ....

Can't wait to get some pedals on it and get riding.
