    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

    cheers

    Just had my frame delivered today from CRC, couldn't help myself when I saw i being sold for £154.00!

    Going to run mine 1 X 10 to see if i get on with it, will post up some pics when finished.

    Mine is no longer in the box, couldn't wait :mrgreen: 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 :mrgreen: 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
    ProII 5.1/EX721
    NN 2.25 / RR 2.25
    Hope X2 203/180 Ashima rotors
    Thomson 50mm stem
    Burgtec RW bars
    Ibeam post & saddle
    XTR short cage rear mech & SLX shifter
    11-34 Sram thingy
    MRP 1x (not set up right, chain comes off if backpedal)
    Truvativ Stylo cranks, Hope BB with 34t E13 ring

    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

    (apologies for posting a pic of a 'dirty' bike)

    can you ride twisty singletrack around trees on a mmmbop?

    It is significantly more difficult on really tight stuff, but that's more due to having silly wide bars than the bike itself.

    Buy some carbon reinforced gloves….of course I could cut the bars down, and I might in the future but at the moment it just adds to the fun factor.

    you're not going fast enough.

    They handle just fine on twisty stuff, just lean more steer less.

    Oh and they do become really rather fun the faster you go.

    deore front
    xt shifters with fibrax full length outers

    Thomson 31.6 post
    Truvativ Team stem – To long will be replaced

    Cheers, just chucked up a slightly closer pic of them.

    Perhaps someone will try the other way round.

    Seemed a shame to waste one set of them 😀

    you're not going fast enough.

    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!
