Old Frame but pritty much everything else is new.
Cant wait for the first national now!
18.9 Pounds
Feel free to post pictures of what you will be raceing next weekend.
Yum yum.
Are they KNC bars and stem I see there, and what's the XTR set up you have going on?
Admiring the saddle to bar drop 8)
Me likey
Its full kcnc stem, bars, seat post, jockey wheels, jockey wheel bolts, skewers, chain ring bolts, headset spacer and even bottle cage bolts!
XTR BB and XTR crank arms on a double TA rings 40-28
Tempted to go for that myself while the rings need replacing.
Its much cheaper than xtr much much lighter and feels fantastic
Just checking themout now.
I find the 22 mostly redundant. The 32 means using the 11/12/13 all the time and the 44 is a tad too big.
I'm thinking a 40 would give me better mid range use?
What rotors are they?
There some ones of xc racer that ant is selling, really nice and only 74 grams
Oooh very nice. Is that a 20" carbon frame?
That's a really nice build! Best of luck for the season
size is 18
Trick!!
S'funny, I clicked on this thread expecting to find yet another 'race build' with huge risers four inches above the saddle, 160mm forks, and flat pedals etc, but thats really really nice... I'd given up hope that folk still rode bikes like this.
Me personally, I'd have a slightly bigger dual chainring set-up, and bar ends but that's just nit-picking.
well done. 😉
8) best tie that thing down, looks light enough to float away
May have to hang that on my scales next weekend, doesn't look sub-19 to me 😉
Fork decals look wrong, otherwise it looks awesome.
And to answer your last part, I think I'll ride this next weekend, probably quicker than the Top Fuel:

Which category you in?
This will be my first season of raceing with out barends so im going to see how i go, if it dosent feel right then ill be ordering some nice kcnc barends
(bar end plugs will be fitted before its first race, just couldnt find any at the moment)
The fork decals seem to have a bit of remote co-ordination going on with the saddle, so they're fine!

Happily, alternatively i could get a digital scale photo posted up this week showing exact weight?

Ooooh! Liking that alot.
Great to see a proper lightweight xc race machine amongst the usual jungle of freeride monsters.
Good to see flat bars and shifters inboard of brakes - but where are the bar ends?
Also like the cheeky use of Spcialized finishing kit.
Great bike. Lead me to the podium.
I did put a smilie after my comment! Irrespective of what it weighs it's nice.
Also my first season racing without bar ends, but I've gone the whole hog and gone risers too!
This is how mine started, and I quickly went to riser-bars, then a 100mm fork, then tubeless, then lighter wheels, then I-Beam and finally XTR...

I really like the look of the new XTCs with the blue bits, particularly the Crossmax.
