here's the first photos of the updated 2006 race bike (1 of 2). bike two will have the same exact setup, but with pink king hubs/headset and salsa rims.
new logos were created for the 2006 frames, and we ended up taking off the reba stickers on the fork and slapping some asylum ones.

HOT is right! That bike is freaking sweet! I'm going to keep an eye on the asylum website for more details.
Hey sologoat, sweet ride. Question on your brake setup.... do you have the new XTR disc brakes? I thought you had to use Shimano XTR hubs with those? Did you just change the rotor so you could use the King hubs? If so, what rotors do you use? Thanks in advance man!
not sure on the new xtr - have not seen them or checked them out yet.
i am running the 2005 xtr disks - not sure on the rotors, though i know they are not shimano. the hubs i am running are king iso's.
if you have specific questions on the setup, you may want to check with dan at speedgoat - he has been the only one other then myself to work on the bikes.
