i have been riding a jamis dragon team converted to ss for over a year and have been looking for a ss specific frame for a while now. after riding my boss's 1x1 i had to have one. the maiden voyage was with my fox fork but this thing rides so good rigid i sold the fork. i have been playing around with different bars, saddles, and tires, so the current setup is a bit different than the picture.

specs:
wheels- king ISO disc hubs, stans arch rims and dt supercomp spokes (build buy my good buddies up at the Cycle Path0
crank- XTR M960 that i modified jeff jones style. weighs 670g with bottom bracket and chainring
tires- nevegal 2.1 rear and wtb weirwolf Lt 2.55 up front
brakes- juicy 7 (horrible horrible HORRIBLE)
seatpost - moots setback
bars- race face next carbon risers
stem- bontrager race lite
chainring/cog- 32t blackspire chainring and 16t surly cog
saddle- wtb rocket v ti
pedals- shimano 540
grips- ourys for now, ritchey foam grips are way better
weight- 22.3 lbs

I LOVE THIS THING!!!!!

Sweet ride, and nice job on the cranks, I'm looking to get another set of M960s to do just that to.

Out of interest, what do you dislike about the Avid brakes?

just not a whole lot of power. i put organic pads in the rear which solved the crazy avid squeal problem. overall lever feel is just kinda mushy, which i guess could be solved by bleeding them. its not really a big deal though cuz im in florida til summer and theres really no need for brakes down here.
