Very nice indeed. Good to see another 5000, there's not a lot of those on here.

exactly...one of these days I'll get my 5000 build finished....LOL I mean started

I currently have the frame and blown out rear shock, FSA headset and a set of Easton Vice wheels for it

I have a long ways to go lol, NEED to finish my 4500c and find an original Vector fork for my 854 that I can afford first lol...

I love it so far, got the frame for xmas off of pinkbike. Myback is messed up so I needed a fully to replace my trek 8000 with broken derailleur hanger. Worked out well didn't get to keep the xtr btm swing der but the new xt is nice and the fox blows away the smart shock, its lighter a little longer and stiffer.... caint wait to hit the trails back in kansas.

nice... atm waiting on my SRAM XO hydro disc brakes, 10sp cassette, chain, front and rear deraileurs for my 4500c (have all 9sp and haven't ordered brakes yet for the 5000)...right now trying to find triple ring (carbon for the 4500c) cranksets/bb's for both frames lol...
...my Rock Shox Monarch RC3 (8.5"-2.5" HV/MT) arrived and need the correct hardware now to get it mounted on my 4500 as well...

just an update, I actually ordered the shock mounting hardware and tool from RWC and they are supplying the shims and bolts needed for mounting the shock as well. Chris Streeter was very helpful to make sure I had the right parts for my application, so if anyone is interested, here ya go...

Here is another:

Rob_B · « **Reply #323 on:** May 05, 2013, 02:45:56 am »

Here is my Pro-Flex 757. Bought this bike new in 1997 and don't regret it, even after 16 years.

All original, except for the brakes and rear shock and stem.

awesome Rob

an update on my 4500c....I have all the parts but one for the build, my crankset. I should have that ordered soon

here are some current pictures of the bike so far, some parts aren't installed yet, like my black/red Selle Italia SL flow saddle, hammerhead adapter (can't find my tapset so gonna pick up just what I need to install it lol), jagwire shift wire housing, FSA carbon stem (controltech carbon stem from my 5000 build on it temporarily as I don't have the front forks for it yet lol), SRAM 1091 chain, Shimano spd 785 pedals and one Specialized red bottle cage...

here's 2 pictures of the SWC needle bearing kits I have installed w/ the Rockshox Monarch RT3...

so far so good

That looks awesome!!!!!

Shaitaan · « **Reply #326 on:** May 06, 2013, 04:49:27 am »

thanks willie.... I can't freaking wait to get 'er finished

Spokes · « **Reply #327 on:** May 06, 2013, 03:47:23 pm »

Not to feel out done by your fine creation, heres my latest.
Ive done a dry build just to see how it will look and Im pretty happy with it!
The forks are Fox Talas and are set at 130mm in this photo but adjust down to 90mm. The rear shock is the Fox RP23 I bought recently. Ive fitted a Hammerhead and Hope disc to the rear now instead of the HS33 in the picture. Ive left the steerer uncut at the moment untill I ride it and find a riding position that suits.
I just need a bit of time off building a house extension to finish it.
