Ok so have been toying with the idea of going full suss for a bit and stripping the hardtail as a donor, and now the price is down to £899, i am seriously tempted to take the plunge and get one.
So the questions, can they be built light relatively easily? will be strpping the 456 for it which is 28.2 on the shop scales, but thats with a coil pike heavy wheels and wire tyres, but the rest is full xt,thomson, hope so pretty light stuff. If it ends about the same weight i would be happy, but less would be great.
Also is it worth the £130 for the rp23 shock or is the float r good enough, would i regret not getting it? £130 now or £300 later? Not got any experience with either so advice on this greatly needed.
Any pics of light build would be cool.
Cheers Rob
