That's a completely badass build! Well thought out (and expensive) for real usage... Isn't mc hammer from oakland? Must be cuttin costs to move to that $hithole.

Hammer used to live in Oakland but now resides in Tracy, Ca.

Dayumn Scott, he couldn't afford the good life anymore hahaha?

After he built his $20,000,000 home on the Mission Peak hills here in Fremont he ended up having to sell the house and only got $12,000,000 then IIRC ended up filing bankrupt and moved to Tracy.

He learned damn quick that you can't support all of your friends forever. He had just about all of his close friends on payroll which soaked up ALOT of his cash.

If you gotta ask, you can't afford it

I'm guessing about 20K in it at this point?

20k? I got more than that in my junk.
And I've done it All myself.

I'm thinking thats just in tube, frame and labor work. Just the shop work, and not parts too.

This build is looking great. Now that Shaffers has moved into my neck of the woods in Oakland (20 minutes away from me) I might have to go check it out in person.

I'm surprised they move to California. Even though they could get more business, I heard all that extra profit end up going to taxes and fees.

Nice!
When are you going to try to break it? We need vids!

Need 500 "easy" miles on the gear sets before getting too crazy. Hoping to take it on a short trail next week.
