I guess I am amazed at everybody's bike build and choices...I tend to look from a racing perspective while others for work and different...the chiner world is such a great place to express and such.

Yep, that's what's so awesome about the Chiner emergence. All of a sudden everybody has more custom built bikes. Not only is it more rewarding to own a bike you cherry picked the components for and built up yourself, but it's also interesting and fun to follow along on other's builds - rather than just seeing pics of the bikes they just picked up from the lbs. All of this is only the opinion of one man, of course.

Hmmm.. What seems fishy in this picture?.. lol:

You still have time to fix it. Contest doesn't end til midnight tonight.

You, my friend, missed the rules twice. Lol.

Haha.. They do all look alike!

Well the frame is slightly different from the 256, but I don't know enough about it to really comment on how those differences would translate while riding it. One thing that jumps out at me is the seatstay / seatube junction doesn't have the "wishbone" junction like the 056 does.

Here's a pic, looks nice:

^ How difficult is it to install that Beers EBB? And does it require special maintenance, or anything like that?

So, I didn't join til after this thread is posted am I still able to enter?

If so: Enter!

Everything is pretty much covered. All I will add is that Orange Sealant is def better than Stan's and that you should definitely check out the Maxxis tubeless ready 2.35 Ikons with exo wall protection. I've run lots of tires and these are the best combo of light weight, grip, cushion, and durability that you can get imo. If you need a really meaty/grippy tire, then maybe they aren't for you but for most trails they are plenty knobby enough.
