Thief broke it.
Built this out of what was left:

Still running (although it is only 4 months old to be fair.
Have this as well. Counts as xc in my book, although the weight may rule it out in some of your books:

This is 19.2lb in this 'all mountain' guise, but can go up to 21.2lb with the Junior T's for XC use.

Pic of my focus overlooking studland while out on the purbecks a few weeks back.

Has a few changes since then, now has a hope/stans 355 pro 3 front to go with the pro 2/stans rear. Just converted to tubeless and while the front speedking folding happily took to it, the rear raceking supersonic is not liking it!! Think i will ditch it for a folding one instead for normal riding.

Maxxlite 310s Andy? Brave man.

That's one I'd say 20lbs is probably reasonably conservative!

I only used mine once, hilarious tyres! I personally find Furious Freds grippier, and easier to run tubeless, whilst being lighter and cheaper, the Maxxlites are obscenely expensive, although admittedly not as bad as the 285s.

njee20- how are the freds as a front tyre? i seem to have ended up with some silly light 29er versions (cheers SSEC)and they went tubeless remarkably easily, but I bottled it and took them off again as I had visions of getting gravel rash a school boy would be proud of on the first loose gravel corner 😕

'looks silly fast' - it would be if it didn't have a fat biffer piloting it. 😳

rightyho, if i loose skin at least I can blame someone else..not the fact that I'm a complete mincer. On the plus point it will make the big wheel ss a smidge over 20lbs so it'll be very fast until ambulance O'clock 😉

Don't really know what XC is these days - but this is probably the most XC bike I've got.

It's up in the high 20lbs if it's an ounce tho' ...

Not really your typical XC bike, but I do ride that sort of stuff on it as well as jumping etc 🙂

It's quite short and slack so not the best for climbing, but lovely to descent on.

My Kinesis maxlight XC II Pro

[img] [/img]

I won the STW XT groupset competition in 2008 so I had brakes, wheels and drivetrain and it seemed criminal to Ebay it all. So a set of REBA Teams, Easton Monkey Lite bars, Fizik Gobi saddle and some Ti bottle cage bolts later I was broke but had built it up from scratch myself.
