Post up! I'm trying to gather ideas for my bike situation next year. Would love to see some XC and shorter endurance race bikes here.

I built this for racing in 2013. I had ordered a Superfly 100 SL but got my deposit back when the shipping date got pushed back past out entire race season. I put it together with a mix of parts some new some old to get started. Now I'm going to start with the XX1 a piece at a time.

Carbon to aluminum for me as well for 2013. I won't have my frame for a month or two still but I am excited to ride and show it off! Plans are underway to make certain it is stupid-light yet reliable... not to mention fast and sexy...

That Spearfish is really nice. Enjoy riding the crap out of that thing.

Rigid SS AL:
2013 Cannondale F29 Alloy 1 frame
Salsa Grande Maxle Fork
Stans Flows (I'm a bigger guy 220lbs) on Paul with Eno Trails 18t and Hope front
Maxxis Ikons 29x2.2
TeamBEER ebb (this is the BEST piece)
Shimano XT brakeset w/ 160mm ice tech rotors
Bontrager Carbon Big Sweep
Ergon Mag grips with barends

Looking at a Niner Arctic White RDO fork to shed about 1.3lbs and I already have the 15mm end caps :D I am also going to go a 34t up front vs the 32t currently being used.

I have not weight this yet but it by feel alone is considerably lighter then my On-One Inbred with roughly the same bits. I think the frame was almost 5lbs on it's own (maybe more). I just have a crap pic of it now but will get some better ones once I've settled it in.

This site kills me in January and February (Winter here in WI). But it also keeps me motivated to train for spring.

My first 29er and I cant wait to put it to the test. New before my first race (May) will be XO Triggers, tires (Aspen), front XO derailuer and King Headset.

Get some 2.4" tires at 12 PSI on that thing and hit the snowmobile trails! I was back over the holidays, had some great riding on snowmobile trails, frozen lakes in Northern WI. I also rode some clear and frozen mountain bike trails down in the Chicago area.
