spring is good...and so is Iggy Pop

So fresh off a trip to europe I got back to the US and immediate gathered my life together (my life being my bike) and shipped it to Salt Lake City. 1 Week from today the gang and I are meeting in SLC, driving over to Colorado to ride Fruita, then heading back to Moab.

It seems like every year I am taking a new bike out west positive it is 'the bike' for the job. This year is no exception, but i think i nailed it this time my 05 heckler frame with some juicy bits. I pretty much have it exactly where i want it, it can climb all day and haul ass in the rough stuff with no complaints. Here she is:

Frame: 05 Santa Cruz Heckler (found this in the back room at the shop)
Fork: Fox 36 Talas
Wheelset: Mix of chris king and dt hugi laced to velocity rims with atom lab white spokes
Tires: An old favorite tioga 2.3 yellow kirin - sadly they dont make them anymore but i stock piled them
Cranks: XTR
Drivetrain: x.0 x.9
tubes: yes
Chain: some German gold thing (this is about as loud as i get)
Pedals: odyssey purple plastic they glow in the dark, seriously.









I associate everything to music, and right now Iggy Pop - I Wanna Be Your Dog is getting the nod, i was watching Transporter 3 the other night and fell in love with this song.
