There are a few SIR 9's separately around the forum, but I seek a big heap of photos and spec talk around this most desirable piece of metal. Hope I get some company.
I'll start off with my own: a 2008 SIR 9 , large, color tang. Wheels are Chris King hubs built with Mavic TN719 and some Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2,25", the rest is stuff like XTR pedals on Middleburn cranks, Avid Juicy 7 brakes, Thomson/ RaceFace controls on King headset, WTB saddle on Thomson post. Oh, and sorry about the duct tape on the seatpost to all you eagle-eyed connoiseurs. It's handy, if not beautiful.
Weight is somewhere around 10,2 kg (22,5lbs).

Large frame. King hubs and headset, Flow rims RR tyres (2.4 up front is great for rigid)
Eriksen 400mm ti post, Rocket V (SLT?) saddle, Ritchey WCS cockpit, Ozriders foam grips. BB7 brakes, xt cranks. Salsa skewers and clamp
Raketmaskin, what does yours weigh? Never weighed mine but intend to.
Things I'd like to change: get rid of the basic pedals and fit XTR, new lightweight rotors.
Down the track change to lightweight hydros and a middleburn crank.

Here is mine when it was built up, but its gone through some changes recently. Notably went to a set of ENO cranks, Juicy brakes with Goodridge Lines, and a custom wheelset with Arch rims and Hope Pro II hubs built by Larry at Mountain High.
Jdub, cool to see your bike. I saw pictures of your bike this spring, when I was looking for a frame and build for my 29 SS project. Your frame and fork with the black parts made me choose the build for my own bike. Kudos, if I get the term right, is in place.
I ran out of legs on the races last year, so I will be givin 2x9 a go.
29/42 x 11/34.
Sweet indeed!
What length stem? And what size is your frame, it looks like a M. My SIR is going tubeless very soon, and maybe one of those Ti seat posts too - ooohhh yes.
Interesting DT cable routing. Mine is 1x9 so never had to work that one out

Did I say sweet?
Its a small, stem is 70mm. I prefer the steering with a short stem but wanted a long cockpit so I went with a setback post. Rides great.
As for the dt routing, I did it like that to give the headtube a cleaner look. I`ll be giving it a spin on the local trails tonight and I need to get used to gears. I`m going tubless too, another thing I havn`t tried.
@av8trinabarrel, your ride looks great.
