Just finished building up my new bike, a Santa Cruz Tallboy, and it weighs a quite ridiculous 21.75lbs. First ride tomorrow - excited.
*awaits pic*
I'm behind rOcKeTdOg in the queue.
As an owner of a Tallboy I'm interested to see this 21.75 lb one. Either its got some stupid light stuff on it or your scales are broken!
What is the build?
tease me tease me tease me....
21lb you say runs of upstairs to get axle grease/swarfega combo,and gimp mask
I saw the one in Bothy bikes last week; very nice! That seems amazingly light! Enjoy!

Clink, it's from Bothy, picked the frame up today and just in from the garage after a very happy build up. Kit is all the usual weight weeny suspects; XTR/XO, Marta SL's, full Ti Eggbeaters, Stans 355 on DT240s, tubeless Pythons (these'll probably get hoy'd though) carbon Monkeylites, carbon Flite on a Thomson Masterpiece, Maxm stem (rare but silly light), Reba's and I think that's it. The scales are pretty good, my old bike - a Titus Racer X 29er was 24.5lbs on them!
Too dark to ride now (not going to make it's maiden voyage a night ride!) but will ride, fettle, tune, etc, tomorrow. Excited.
I still don't reckon that is anywhere near that weight but who cares, it is a fantastic ride. I love mine, enjoy!
more pics please mate!!!!
