it is a 2008 version..

I wen for the DXR`s purely for the polished finish and Etched logos..and the fact i had not seen anyone else with them around.. unlike the saints

great,,, yeah landon and everyone at Tonic couldnt be more helpful.. and the frames speak for themselves.. perfect.

Hats off sir to a LOVELY Jackal.. actually makes me regret getting rid of my white and gold one now.

still waiting to try SMP out.. currently i am out of shanghai for 2 months.. now in the west of China.. (Chengdu) but there is a neat little skate park here.. so will be making use of that for sure

I wasnt sure how well it would feel.. but with the lower front end and increased head angle it behaves very well.. super sharp and precice.

They are..Identiti Park forks.. then powdered

yeah. i noticed the chain when i took one of the other photos.. Strange.. its all fixed now.

oops.. yeah i noticed that after i took the photo.. now fixed

Think of the colour like marmite.. some love it.. some hate it.. but least you can`t say it only follows the latest fashion..

She weighs 25.01, i guessed she would be a little lighter..but none the less i am totally happy with weight and parts

The bars are NS low Rise District

Well i am not too upset with 25 but i did guess it would have been lighter with the Ti parts and rigid forks etc..

Must have been super heavy lead based powdercoat the factory used

Cheers man.. yeah because of a slight accident when the Chinese delivery guys finally got the frame to me.. i needed to repowder it.. so Guacamole colour it was

>> see info on this photo >>... i re-powdered the frame and fork..

Looks like i will have to make a trip to nanjing sometime..

Nice bike man.. one of the nicest i have seen in China for sure.

Cheers man, yeah it is an odyssey V3 Polished stem..

Yeah.. My jackal has suspension.. so trying rigid and see how i get on with this setup first

Umm this looks familiar?

yeah lookin good man.. stil we got to meet up sometime..

I should have the tonic built up at lanslis next week.. (if the hubs come)

I think all the Budweiser in the back explains this bikes origins.. Great stuff

thats a bit nice that is... i am loving the chrome rims for sure

They are Answer Pro Taper

thats a nice jackal man.. love it.

Ahh They are Shimano DXR (yeah yeah i know.. pretty much polished Saints) but were created for BMX`s

Cheers guys.. really it is a wonder you cant see my grin all the way from China. I am well chuffed how it turned out.

now thats something you dont see every day..... Surreal mate.. nice (was it a big photo?)

Cheers for the comment on my jackal. got to say i am loving this one also mate.

Almost there, but the local importer messed up my horizontal dropout order (gave me 2 right sides :os Just got to cut the steerer, the seatpost, fix the chain tension problem for now and pedals.

YEY, then get onto building the Howie

They will be black.. Just keeping the colour on the bike to a minimal..

Ahhh yeah i was speaking to Landon for a long time and this is one of the first batches.. and hopefully the only one so far to make it into China

Ahh thanks.. Yeah i was not sure when i ordered it. but seems to be great quality and pretty light also. Well will be mounted up soon enough and i will post photos then.
