Ha yes that's the beast!! Yours is more yellow and purple, rather than his purple with a hint of yellow but I was close
Awesome pics!

Did he actually ride for fat city cycles rather than evolution imports like Dave hemming?

The most beautyful full suspension frame ever made. What a performance in craft!
Do you have a weight of the frame?

Thanks for sharing!
