when i got the coil upgraded to a heavier spring rate, the guy at the shop (who also assembled the bike) just thought it looked like it fit the frame better backwards.. i thought it looked funny too, that's why i asked him, but there's no difference in performance, so i never cared enough to switch it back... by now i'm used to it, and don't even notice until someone asks about it.. LOL

Reason: newer pic
P1000465.JPGAlready put this up on the Raleigh thread. Have a look at the rear swingarm - pivot point and drop outs. It has to come out the same factory. I second all the rave reviews of the Haro on MTBR. Great performing single pivot suspension.

that looks like the pivot yoke and a couple other pieces that we used on our 2002 model year frames. We designed that back then. But we don't use the same frame factory anymore so who knows what they are doing with the forging parts that we created.
Bought the bike new. Couldn't stand the Psylo XC on it so replaced it with the Manitou Black Elite. The stem and bar are from a project that I was building up and realized they worked better on this bike.

Your bike looks great.I love the single pivot style frames like that.
I have a Fox Talas RLC & need to put it on a frame like that instead of my Trek 6700 hardtail..
Here is my 2005 X1, not many upgrades other than a new seat, fork (not really new just took it off my old bike, 2002 Psylo), and pedals. Soon will be getting a DHX 5.0 (props to fox for coming out with one in a 7.875" eye to eye and 2" stroke), 2006 Rock Shox Pike 426, and a new wheelset which will either be Azonic Outlaws or TBC Revolutions.
