2020 Niner Air 9 RDO Custom Race Build 18lbs Trades Welcome

I used this bike as a backup/training mostly for climbing so components have very little wear & I the chain was replaced often.

I have 6k+ into the build just in parts. And that’s with discount from various Pro riders & bike shop employees.
This is a quality build that’ll cost $8000 to duplicate. I built the bike as light as I can without sacrificing safety. You won’t find another hardtail that can take beating at this weight class without putting down $5000+ (Unless you’re looking into XS 27.5)

That being said the bike is humbly priced. So please no low ball offers.

Trades are welcome. Willing to top some cash.
I’m interested in following:

Cannondale F-SI Hi-Mod 2019 & up S
Scott Scale 900 RC S/M
