Howdy all, here's a pic of my newly built Giant Trance.

All said and done she weighs in at 25 pounds 11 ounces. Have about 100km on her so far and its a beast. Climbs very well, descends even better!

Favorite aspect (besides how it rides) is how simple and minimal the front cockpit is.

Has a fox talas 34 140
XX1 kit
Easton XC70 carbon post
Race face turbine stem, RF carbon bars
Mavic wheels
Nobby nics

She's a monster...

That is a good weight for that build, well done.

IMO if you need a Fox 34, You also need a dropper seat post.

New to me Karate Monkey. Really like it so far now the other bike that i spent more on is my loaner bike. Currently setup 1x3 manual shift. 32 x 20, 18, 16 will be switching to 1x2 30 x 18,15 or 14. The only reason i have 3 cogs on currently is i did not have enough spacers to run 2.

Velocity Dyad rims w/ xt hubs
avid bb7 160mm disc front avid linear pull rear.
used carbon fork on the way

I've had my Kona Splice for the past 2 years and it's served me well. This year I splurged and spent the money on a Manitou Tower Expert 120mm front fork(replaces the stock 80mm Suntour that was on it) and Specialized Ground Control tires(to replace the Geax Mezcal slicks). I'm a rather big guy 6'00" 280lbs, so the need for a bigger beefier fork was a must because the Suntour was always bottoming out and the pre-load knob wouldnt work. The Geax Mezcals were just horrible, no grip whatsoever. I'm looking to change the whole drivetrain out to a 2x10 system, some Stans ZTR Flow rims, and upgrade to hydraulic brakes so I can stop my forward momentum a little easier.

I'm amazed you got this far with it almost stock.. I changed almost everything in few moths.. I just couln't live with the brakes, fork and whole drivetrain. Oh yeah had to change the stem too for better position.

Yours though looks nice. :)

Some very nice looking bikes in this thread. Couple pictures of my 2013 Specialized Camber Comp, I changed the bars to Race Face Turbines and the seat to a WTB Pure-V. I changed it from a 2x10 to a 1x10 using a Wolftoothcycling 32 tooth chainring. So Far love the gearing and the way this bike ride.
