Got my wife a new bike for mother's day sooooo Papa had to have a new whip too

Got hold of a 2003 Marin Wildcat frame real cheap and had a bunch of new and used parts hanging around so here is my latest frankenbike 

Has a sick amount of travel 7" to 11" in rear depending on where you hook up the shock, 160mm (6.3") front. I have it set up for 7" and it rides sweet!! I'm not that radical a rider, biggest drop I've done so far is 2-3 foot but it is still fun and rolls fast and smooth. I don't know what it weighs yet but feels on par or a little less than my old Trek Y-11.

I haven't had a chance to really trail test it yet between little league, cub scouts and the weather I've only taken it out around the house and to Rocky Neck with the family. This Sunday I plan on getting out for a few hours, can't wait
