2006 xtc

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue:

Cabinetry Drawer Waste container Circle Waste containment
Motor vehicle Automotive tire Automotive exterior Rim Transport
Bicycle frame Blue Bicycle accessory Line Iron
Bicycle tire Bicycle frame Wheel Bicycle wheel Bicycle wheel rim
Bicycle tire Wheel Bicycle wheel Tire Bicycle wheel rim
Bicycle tire Bicycle frame Tire Wheel Bicycle wheel


A friend gave me his old completely used up XTC SE2. I discarded everything except the frame, even the paint. Sanded bare to 400 grit and polished with Mother's. Built wheels with Hope hubs and Stan's Olympics. Tubeless setup with Nobby Nics. Hope bottom bracket, headset, rotors. XT brakes. 1X10 drive train with XT shifter, XT Shadow Plus derailler, XT crankset with 32t Salsa chainring. Got same model Fizik Tundra saddle as on my other bikes. Straightline pedals. Weight is about 22.5 pounds. This is my first build, I did it mostly for the experience, but I'm really liking it. I also have an 2012 AX29er. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum for all of the inspiration and advice.
