Picked the frame up for a good price.

Already have the rims built, need to buy the fork and some other odds and ends.

So, my specs so far go like this:

Ellsworth Evolution frame
cane creek angleset headset, -1.5*
Fox 34mm talas 140mm
truvativ noir cranks with blue loaded crankbolts :):)
xt cassette
x9 type 2 derailleur
easton monkeylite bars
loaded seatpost
wtb pure v seat
hope pro 2 evo hubs with stans flow rims and hope rotors
elixir cr brakes
x9 shifters
thomson stem


I could've stayed 9 spd and reused all my x0 stuff but i wanted ten speed and either xtr plus or type 2 stuff. Buying the fork in a few days. Should be somewhat light but more importantly stronger.

Just rode!!! Its awesome so far. A lil squirly when doing a jump but its a bit more efficient going uphill. Ive never been an uphill fan though. Dunno if im sold on 29er just yet. The bike is solid though, great feel to it and a definite head turner.
