Really hankering after one as it would be a sensible "do it all" bike. General quick white peak blasts, dark peak big days, pulling the kiddie trailer, even commuting to work!!
I reckon with my build kit it would come in around 27lbs ish.
Prefer the green un!
Show me yours for inspiration and also what kit it has
819 wheels with Hope hubs and RQ UST tyres (2.2)
Vanilla 140mm forks with QR15
Some kind of FSA reducer headset with almost no stack height
50mm stem
Easton DH carbon risers
Mainly an SLX groupset with double and bash
Carbon post with Charge Spoon
Some old XTR brakes
Flat pedals
I'm building mine up next week and will post pics…I'm going Fox Talas, X0 rear and shifters, XT front and cranks, Easton bars, Thomson seatpost and stem and DT wheelset. I can say the frame is lovely, I have the 18" in blue, can't wait to blast it, Afan trip booked in Sep too so bring on the noise :o)
Mine is no longer in the box, couldn't wait So I have a blue rolling chassis with white Revelations and stem, a set of Truvativ Team Noir bars, XT brakes, SLX cranks, MG1 pedals, and Roval Traversee rims. But no mechs, chain, or seatpost Still couldn't resist and had to go for a roll round the block on it, feels good so far.
Must admit I'm still getting to grips with it. Ride it 2 days in a row, love it, ride XC HT one day and then mmmbop next day don't get on as they are so different. Takes me 2-3 hours to get dialed back in. Biggest surprise for me is how well it climbs it is almost as quick as the XC bike, and feels like less effort.
18"
Pike 454 uturn

Dunno about weight but it is really light, I would say 27ish, not much more than my pimp'd duster. Could do with ligher wheels but they are shared with the full/suss

xtr rear
deore front

Truvativ Team stem – To long will be replaced
Bonty racelite carbon risers
Superstar 1 1/2 – 1 1/8 headset
Grips and seatclamp both from Superstar
Depends on your definition of tight twisty stuff, mine is when my silly wide bars don't physically fit between trees, which can kinda kill your speed pretty rapidly 🙂 (as I found out recently)
I really like the decals, wish I'd thought of that!
So my spec will be:
Green frame
Silver Fox Talas (for now)
Hope hoops
Joplin 4
White charge Spoon ti
White Pro FRS bars and stem
White Wellgo MG1 pedals
SLX cranks
Avid elixirs
X9 mech and shifters
