Fresh build, zero miles as of 2 days ago. After yesterday's 38-mile break-in the stem has been dropped down and everything else is dialed in.
I'm new to this forum as this is my first 29er. I've done some reading here and there...don't seem to be a lot of Orbeas mentioned. It may not be as sexy as a Niner or Salsa Dos, but it works pretty well for me. I like being unique.
Man, that's a bad ass ride bro..
What happens in Vegas....I brag about for years....
My Niner MCR9 - couple months old, loving it! Planning to get a full susp. 29er as well - I'm totally sold on 29ers! 1x9 drivetrain, custom Kent Eriksen post, etc.
My new toy, the XXL full suspension 29er I've always wanted:
Used XXL (25.5" ETT) Asylum OCD (rebranded Titus Racer-X) aluminum 29er frame, Fox RP3 rear
Fox F29 F100 RL G2 fork
Velocity Blunt wheels, XT hubs
Mostly XT group, some LX
Truvativ Stylo crankset, 180mm cranks
Avid BB7 185mm brakes
Thomson Elite Setback post and Origin 130mm stem
Built up from combo of new and used, mostly older and/or heavier, mostly eBay, some LBS. She's durable but not the lightest. She fits, though. About $1800 invested, and worth all of that.

A setback post and a 130mm stem on a bike with a 25.5" ETT? How tall are you?
