Show bike was my first thought, but on that thread he's whipping the damn thing!
njee20 - MemberA rigid SS with Furious Freds? Meh, show bike.
If you are coming to the opening BC XC event at Pembrey that would be the dream bike I reckon! Bar the gearing that is.
's from a MTBR port/thread on the weight weenies board maybe 4/5 years ago at least
Yea following his post history he's just built up a [url= http://forums.mtbr.com/niner-bikes/my-sir-9-build-begins-903815-2.html ]SIR 9 build at 19.5lb with suspension this time[/url]

I was surprised how heavy the frame was for something that's a couple of quid under 2k

It isn't their top spec frame and is only £1400. The RDO is £1800 and around 1kg. Not a bad price really but I'd probably be more tempted by the Procaliber right now if I had that sort of budget for a race hardtail.

Don't think it was around when he was building it up. That post goes from 2010 the RDO was released in 2012?
Seems a lot of effort and money to get a bike that light and then weigh over 12st himself.

So frame swap would knock almost a pound off that build.

but you can't just buy weight loss.
Agree on the gearing, 22/12 would not be smooth. I was running 30/13 in the summer and it was a noticeably rougher drive train than when using 30/14
My cannonade carbon F29 with a lefty was 23lb without pedals, so about 24lbs. Seems to take abuse just fine although I wince when big stuff flicks up and whacks it!
It feels very light and that's with 'not great' wheels.
