I really like all the red ano bolts, where did you pick them up.
-
I use to use anodized bolts on my other bikes but it got
too expensive.
Now I use nail polish or modeling paint

-
Yep ....sent a lot of money his way 
He has Ti spindles for Eggbeaters and other pedals
at great prices .
They are on my next round of mods 
-
I just bought Ti Eggbeater spindles from Ward Industries. Very nice, 40gms lighter than the SL spindles for the pair for $50
-
Awesome.
I love white bikes 
And the red-black-white colour scheme is my favorite
Better to have and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
-
Agree, very nice build. Great idea to paint the bolts in stead of using anodized ones. Saves a lot of money and also I wouldn't want to run alu bolts in my stem.
-
I had the Ward spindles on my last bike.
After a couple seasons the threads went "soft" and
I couldnt use them in other bikes although I think thats
more of a Ti issue not Wards.

Nice build! Any particular reason you went from the revelation to the reba?

The fork swap necessitated a different stem .
The spacer stack with the Revelation was aprx 1"
high (see pic with Easton stem) .
The Easton stem was straight with zero rise .
The stack with the Reba is way shorter ( see new pic....red spacer ) .
It felt to low for me so I put a dif stem on it with a slight rise and now
it feels pretty much as it did before

So my shop swapped forks from another RM he had in stock (as it fit) .
I saved a pound with the swap also
I think the white fork looks better on it then the black one too
Definitely looks stellar. I'm sure it will ride just as nice as it looks!

Now down to 26.14 pounds with more mods planned.

Ditto, very nice indeed. I got my 970 down to 26.75 (with pedals, tubeless, but bigger tires)... but then put a dropper post on so I've gone the other direction!
-
Hmm, my 970 is down to 24.9 lbs. You've got a long way to go 
-
What was the 970's stock weight before your mods ?

24.9 is great - nice job.
I believe the stock weight w/o pedals for a medium (either 17 or 18.5) is 26.6.
I've gotten a custom built, 1500 gram wheel set (wtb i19, dt swiss comp spokes, chris King iso), but then put on WTB TCS 2.2 Bronson and 2.2 Wolverine tires and the FOX D.O.S.S. Mine is now just a hair over 28 pounds.
I'll tell you this, I don't race, but I participated in a 46 mile, 7,000 ft elevation gain/climbing ride today and I wouldn't trade the tires or the dropper for the weight! Of course, I wish I could have both!

I see that ccaddy is using an old tube as a chainstay protector . . . . is that the best option? Advice would be appreciated.
-
I put the tube on from day one because of no immediate alternative and Im
looking .
Top section is just electrical tape .
I may try something else soon .
Ive seen half sectioned plastic hose used but am
unsure of its weight .
Stay tuned .
