How do all

Following on from my post last week, thought I'd post a pic of it completed

Total weight is 18.02 lbs which isn't bad for a large frame, I'm looking to lose a bit more by going carbon post and maybe some lighter bars and cranks, ohh and tyres. So far I've taken it to two races, snapped the chain in the first race and the second was cancelled due to the snow. Fingers crossed its not a sign of things to come.

Err, I can barely see it! ๐Ÿ˜•

I think it looks good, certainly stealthy.

Yeah, black everything against a dark wall wasn't my best move.

Storck Rebels. I'm amazed at how stiff but comfy they are, really nice fork.

Small Block 8s are surprisingly heavy. Switch them out for some Rocket Rons and lose a decent chunk of weight.

Just a quick update - stuck some gears on it for the race at the weekend. Got the new XTR rear mech with the clutch thingy on it - have to say its bloody brilliant, really impressed with it.

The bike itself is ace. Really comfy, goes like a....er...whippet (groan) and quite light - although as mentioned elsewhere if you're doing a WW type build I'm not sure this would be the frame I'd choose. But for a two hour enduro yesterday it was brilliant. The WCS post less so, but you can't have everything eh....
