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
Was on mine last night in green. But no pics. Sorry. Heh.
hope to be on one of yours in the next few weeks 🙂 whats you build list?
What type of bolt are you thinking for the headset top cap rob?
50p and a reach-a-round says it's for sale in 47 days 5 hours 33 minutes 😀
I can mail you a pic Rob but mine is:
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
No idea what it weighs sorry

They ride sweet and are a laugh.

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 
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
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?
😉
Isn't it an Inbred?

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.
oh....forgot....30lbs all in.
how so heavy?

It is significantly more difficult on really tight stuff,
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.
Finished building mine last night.
Attempted a sort of custom decal job using both the black and white decals they supply over the top of one another...

Liam - I'm liking the decals....
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 😀
Well - I have a blue mmmBop waiting to be built......
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!
Woop Woop
Ordered one 🙂
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
Can't wait!
how so heavy?
6.5lb fork and an old rear wheel at the mo. Could easily chip a couple of pounds off I guess but the 66s are keepers.
A Patriot LT (R.I.P.) was stripped for half the Ragley parts so weight was never a major consideration. As it stands, its 7lbs lighter than the Orange.
my current build:
Fox 36 Talas R
Hope Step down headset
Azonic Stubb stem
Easton Monkey Lite SL bars
lizard skin grips
Avid Ti speed dial levers to BB7 brakes 160mm
X.9 SS rear, xtr Cassette (11-34) and x.9 shifter
Truvativ Carbon Noir 1:1 crankset & BB
Truvativ Boxguide chain guide
Crank brothers smarty pedals
Bontragar King Earl rims
WTB Prowler SS front, XT rear
Salsa post clamp
Thomson Post
old beat saddle.
