hey Pierre-Yves,
awesome bike. that looks great. how does it ride?
but where's the Vuelta V-brakes? those would knock off another 100g!
Allways the sales-person, good job. (nm)DirkFH

Hi Nino,
I've just tried it for the first time this afternoon, and it's great :-)
very very fast, I will only change the cables, this ones are just BAD !!!

you were right about tires, nbx are the fastest without comparison. But I don't think they have as much grip as conti explorer on the trails I tried them. I'm in a place (near Paris) with a mix between mud and sand, and the feeling was better with explorer. but when the weather will be better, the NBX will be THE tire !!! :-)

Vuelta, not on my best bike, I know I can save weight with Vuelta, but Avid ultimate is just better for me. Vuelta will go on my litespeed unicoi.

regards
Pierre-yves
Topline cranks?DeeEight

And another way to knock some weight would be M2 Racer's ORB pedals. That'd take a good 105g off from the Frog Ti's.
no, it's tune20.100 fr

That is absolutely beautiful. Have you ridden it yet? What gear range do you have on the 2X9 setup, and how do you like it? I've been concidering going that route but I'm still on the fence. I've got a 32 middle ring right now, and I try my hardest to not go to granny ever, so someting like a 29 I think would probably due.

Ps. I'm currently building a Blur (Large, Blue ano), if that explains my interest.

I rode it this afternoon
just the fastest fully you can find in this configuration, I will just try to see if it's faster than a hardtail to... maybe the best is if I can have two time the same setup with one HT frame and one fully frame ;-)))))

2 x 9 : I use 29/42 on the front and 12/34 on the rear.

you will like you blur :-)

How do you like the Minute fork?
I expect my Blur to get under 10kg...Anders

this summer. I'm waiting for the new AM classic hubs and will then get a No-tubes wheelset. Hope to get the wheelset to weigh about 1340grams, if the story about the AM classic hubs is true. That is about 180grams saving compared to my current wheelset.
