MTB build

[dbane883]

Don't normally post here, but thought I'd show you kids the Mountain bike I built some time ago.

29er wheels. All carbon fibre. "Rep" frame, fork, and wheels. Buffed the original gloss sheen to matte.

Everything else are "gen" parts .

Goal was to get the build under 20lbs. It weighs in around 19 without the rear tool bag and pump.

Went for a 1x9 configuration. SRAM XO shifter is superb. As are the Hope hydraulic disc brakes. Not easy getting colour coordinating parts. Only thing I need to replace is the rear derailleur as I could only find a black/blue one instead of black/red.

You're bike build is ALMOST as good as your watch builds

It was ALMOST as expensive as my recent 5513 build as well
