x7 sram twisters/der., Bontrager racex lite crank, Reba race fork, Mavic crossride rear, Salsa/Hugi ft., Specialized enduro pro rear/ft., Time ATAC's- pretty good setup but nothing too wild. Builds up to 31.6lbs in the 18.5" size ready to ride with a real heavy saddle and bar/stem combo.
Bottom Line:
Nice frame, I really like it. Great geometry for tight, twisty trails and stable at speed too. Rides just like a single pivot rear should. Good looking with the ball burnished rear. Only thing negative to mention is that it is a little flexy at the pivot compared to something like a mac strut but even then- less tracking issues than with the 29er front wheel. (disclaimer here; I run about 250lbs.- normal sized humans may not notice this at all...)
If anyone out there knows of another I'd love to hear from them. I hope this thing wasn't a one-off!
