Re: 2002 Specialized Big Hit DH....AND THE BUILD IS ON!!

I've probably had five or six of these frames over the years.
This one came along and couldn't pass it up especially with the US/Canada exchange rate!
Bike is going to the LBS Tuesday to have the rear wheel dished.

Okay, finally got the rear wheel dished!
Took two trips to two different LBS's. Love the looks it gets!
Rain/snow tomorrow so more parts will be going on.

Re:

Always fancied a Goldtec 26" rear end for mine... Could be tempted if I found one cheap...

Yeah, but if you throw a 26" on the rear you won't get the priceless looks you get when you take it out.
When I picked it up at the LBS the other day it actually stopped everyone in the store in their tracks..PRICELESS!!

As an update.
Chain, derailleur, shifter installed and close to perfect.
Put the brakes on and the rear is too short, damn, so close.
New hose on order.
Almost there!
