Very nice, almost bought one of those frame a couple of years ago, that's a really good frame. Looks like some nice upgrades in the front end. looked like those rock-shox were in teh stuck down position

yeah, they were busted!

the whole setup was threaded too so it was my first threaded to threadless conversion.
not as hard as i thought it would be.
