Why would you weigh a frame without a shock? They're all a bit porky.
You could get an Ibis Mojo HD or Transition Covert carbon frame for around the price of that Nicolai (with a cheeky LBS discount).
Nicolai can be had online for a lot less. As for the shock, that's how Nicolai quote the weights, 'cos they offer loads of different shocks. And how Sicklines weigh a frame, presumably for the same reason.

Where?
Bike-components.de quote 2199 Euro for it
If your after a Nicolai speak to Dipper at [url= http://www.gravity-sports.co.uk/ ]Gravity Sports[/url] (unless our LBS does them).

Not much cheaper really, works out as £1885 frame only plus £29 postage compared to £1950 frame only in the UK.

Op was talking about 2200+ for the frame earlier. Maybe that was with shock.
Yeah the Nicolai is £2234 with a FOX Kashima BV

Are you on the Carbon 66, HN? How do you find it?
I'm very tempted by the Nicolai. I have this notion that it'll be rock solid.

Yes, in short, I like it.
The combination of a long TT, low BB, slack head angle & short stays is what I like. I'm riding it quicker than any other bike i've ridden so far.
I've said a few times, the early reviews were probably a bit off, combined with the odd full builds from Yeti caused some confusion. It's not a long legged XC/Trail bike, it's a properly agressive AM bike if built properly. If you don't ride it hard, it's not that great, but when you do, it's really good.
A lot of the reviews are starting to reflect that now. It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn good.
