It took me a while to decide until I had another look at Blue Crush. Was a toss up between 957 and carbon.

OzM is the best. oh, I have to do this.

I have been very tempted to do a "blue Crush" styliee Oz, but without the Blue!
i.e. Crosslinks and Spin Carbon wheels etc; the parts have been sitting in the garage for a while!

But, instead I have decided to follow Terry's (Shovelon) lead and go with Mavericks, air shock on the rear and all over black carbon!
Now that looks wicked!

Terry, I've IM'd you with Q's !!

i think blue crush is a beauty but look's a tad busy with the wheel's but then ive always preferred spokes as i used to have a set of snow flakes on my old park pre scepter comp (stolen).shovelon's bike is tidy with sweet mavericks. anybody know what those fornales forks are like i think they would be cool with oz frame and flake wheel's with ti rainbow spoke's if there still available now that would be nice!!!

I have two sets of Fournales forks which I was going to use to make a "Disko Oz" but I have got a pair of Mavericks now and will go with them.

So no, I've never used the Fournales but they are beauties of engineering and make me wish the crosslinks had continued to evolve! Only 1.4Kg a pair with an air shock and a disk mount!
And the legs are true round tubes, so if God forbid you broke a leg then I guess you could replace the tubing!

The 3000 looks like it could float, what with the color and those wheels. Very nice.
