Well, he's done it now! The first of Team MidAirCrisis to buy a genuine Downhill bike - and what a beaut! When I went to see it in his garage, before it ever got dirty, I could have slept in there with it (I did ask if I could). I'm not even going to shrink the pix on this page - I want to see them straight away (once again, apologies to non-Broadband viewers).

This "thing" has a Team DH VPS frame (strongest on the planet?), Marzocchi Triple 8 forks (ditto?), Fox DHX shock, Atomlab wheels, Hope M4 discs, Raceface Evolve DH cranks, Blackspire bash guard, Shimano XTR rear gears, RaceFace bars, ODI grips, Planet X pedals and other goodies I didn't have time to list. Come on, Santa Claus (or is that Cruz?), do your stuff for li'l ol' me!

Now look, I'm the official MidAirCrisis Photographer. I now have to follow this tw*t down the gnarly bits and try and keep up with him on this thing! Lord, have mercy on me. Good job he's fat.
