I like the color. I suspect that this will receive significant "lightening" changes over time.

[donkeyWC]

looks like lake meredith.

[bcd]

NEEDS
wb carbon rigid.
and wide flat bar.
my WTB 5 speed on the rear.

after that.
i think i want a road front wheels dishless and v brakes.
some type of cheep light 2 ring cranks.

[donkeyWC]

[Guitar Ted]

Looks an awful lot like a late 80's/early 90's Diamond Back, right down to the color and some of the graphics. Kind of weird that way.

Ever think about the single speed thingy? Looks easy to do with this rig.

[pinkshirtphotos]

27 pounds and still a lot of room to make her lighter. How much do you think the frame weighs? 4.5 pounds or thereabouts?

[NovatoSCFR]

you said you wanted v brakes for that?

[jncarpenter]

It says 37lbs, but I am guessing that's a typo (unless you weighed it before hosing off the mud ;)) :D

[bcd]

hahaha, yeah. 27

[bcd]

you said you wanted v brakes for that?

for the front, yeah, for a dishless wheel.

but i might just get a offset spoke rim and use discs.

[ito]

Beautiful bike, what is the retail on that?

[bcd]

around 750 for base model, 1k for deore der then a lot more for next level frames and F/S.

[bcd]

just measured it. sits 1/2 lower. so with sag about the same.
i can't say enough about this bike. made riding XC fun again
for me.

[bcd]

sold the rock hopper and my stumpy in yesterday.
frame way 3.6 in the 18.
waiting on my crank brothers headset then i can get
my wb rigid on there. got my TI candys and blunt
rims coming with SB8's with tubless. hoping to get
a 23 lbs 1x6 race bike.
