    Surprised to see mchanical disc brakes on a biek that nice. Mechs have a place but Hopes or Maguras would be a much lighter option on a bike this nice.

    The following has been ordered, but is taking a while to get here:

    -Hope mono m4 front - 183 mm red floating rotor
    -Hope mono mini rear 160 mm steel rotor
    -red levers
    -red resevoir caps
    -red bore caps
    -preinstalled stainless hose kits

    Did you get Dangerboy red levers? Way Way Way better than Hope levers. post pics of the red levers when you get them!

    How much do you weigh? That's a lot of brake for a Singlespeed. My Racer X has Mono Mini front and rear with 160 front and 140 rear.

    How about some close-ups of the interchangeable dropouts?

    How about some close-ups of the interchangeable dropouts? How does the design work? From the pics they look like horizantals and you have added chain tugs?

    I prerode the race course at Devil's Den AR on my SS and raced it on my 29er Racer X...

    The Rx is a total XC racing machine and with my height at 6' 4" the XL frame fits me perfectly!
