I just built this sucker up, but been sick as a dog ever since so only ridden her twice. Sensational frame.
Didn't post in the "rate the bike above you thread" as i reckon I would lose points for my mahoosive 44t ring and my M395 brakes. I also don't think the clashing colour scheme would rate too well either. Got some 810mm bars on the way and am going 2x9 or 2x10, budget dependant, soon.
my 9.7kg (21.3lbs) vertrider / hardcore-tourer / trailbike 16" OnOne 456C Evo This is the bike i ride most time.... for some reason in the most situations its way more fun to ride than my sus-bikes.
Wow id like to see a scale pic of that, pretty amazing. I really like those frames.
True, I'd rather guess it's weight around 11,0kg. Could be wrong tho. But still, damn that bike is hot!
First off, this thread is awesome and I'm glad I stumbled across it. There's some serious bike porn going on here!! Secondly, I suppose I should post some pics of my ride. It's an Identiti Dr Jekyll. I've built it up from nothing, the spec as it stands is;

I've not been riding long and I'm already hitting black trails on it, needless to say it takes a lot of punishment from misjudged jumps and an over-ambitious rider
Here's mine after switching to a Minion DHRII rear. First impression are positive, setting up tubeless was a walk in the park, +20g on declared weight, nice and wide, rolling fast enough, braking traction is crazy.

Can't wait to really put this tire to the test.
I've found my 2.5 DH tyres to rub the seat stays when the wheel flexes, lost a bit of paint inside the stays too. Bit concerned as I've seen frames break because of this.
