To answer questions...

Novato Kid, I came home to Marin for a weekend, I'll be back for the summer May 21st or the 22nd. Then tripping it up to Northstar the 23rd.

pillette, I used my mom's Sony Cybershot camera. It's totally generic, not sure how I got good pictures out of it...

coiler8, not sure about the weight. It feels pretty light as is, looking forward to going tubeless and Ti Spring. I think when its said and done should be 39. Feels 40ish now.

Uncle Cliffy, drilled means you modified the frame to get better geometry. Not sure if you can tell in the pictures but there are two holes in the rear swingarm where the linkage connects. The hole forward is the stock position which is a higher BB and steeper head angle. To drill means you literally drill a hole about 10mm back from the stock position to get a slacker head angle and lower bottom bracket. Turner doesn't really 100% support the drill mod, but they indirectly back it since so many people do it.

Props to Choofoojoo for the nice bars...they're way dope. Thanks!
