So I finally got this damn thing finished, after ordering it back in October. As far as I know, it's one of the first Session 88 framesets to come into the U.S. FYI, if anyone else wants one, my shop got two of them from Trek (out of less than 10 coming into the States), and still has one in stock. They gave me an insanely low price on the thing, and I'd love to send them more business, so PM or Email me if you're interested.
As for Specs, here you go:
Frame: Session 88 Size M
Shock: DHX 5.0 w/RCS Ti Spring
Fork: 2010 Boxxer WC
Wheels (Race): Stan's ZTR Flows, laced to Hope Pro 2's with DT Alpine 3 spokes
Wheels (Everyday): Azonic Outlaws w/ghetto tubeless
Tires: Minion DHF 2.5, UST, DH Casing
Cranks: Gravity Lites (last set survived 2 years, despite everyone else's horror stories)
Pedals: Wellgo Mags
Saddle/Post: SDG I-Beam
Brakes: Old School Saints (Chainlove cheapies)
Shifter: X9 Twisters, baby. 8-Spd!
Rear Der: X9 Super short
Cassette: 11-28 8-spd
Chain: Some Sram 8-spd job
Stem: e13 Ali
Bars: Gravity Carbon
Chainguide: e13 LG1+ (Thanks for getting me sorted, Jonas!)
Chainring: e13 36T guide ring (going on 5 seasons on the same ring)
Headset: Cane Creek stock headset on Session
Grips: Lockon Ruffians
Anyway, the bike fits perfectly on my 5'9" frame. I'm still breaking in the fork, but the rear suspension feels great. The frame itself is an amazing piece of engineering, and it sort of reminds you how much horsepower a company with pockets as deep as Trek can throw at a project - every single tube on there (other than the ~5" seat tube) appears to be some sort of crazy custom extrusion. Pictures don't do it justice.
Oh, and I know many of the super badass guys on this forum would say this is incredibly gay to even mention, but it's an RCH over 34.5 pounds.
Flame on!!
