Oh, I do have a tire thread. Sorry, I thought you were joking with me about that. It's the "official xc/am tire discussion" it has been pretty dormant lately, I'll try to get it going again soon.
It's supposed to be 7.3 w/o seat collar or rear axle. Which wouldn't be too bad, the wheels aren't bad either, the rear wheel(no cassette) with the Vigi and sealant was 300g lighter than the DHR on the front w/o stans.
Oh shit, that's pretty impressive, especially since it's more of heavy hitter. I was expecting somewhere in the low 8's. It's going to be so sick though, dude. I can't wait to get the notification that you've posted it.
Yeah, haha they dropped almost 3/4 lb from the last years frame. That was one reason I like it, shorter stays, almost 1.2 inch shorter wheelbase than the ENduro 29, and the angles were perfect. I had a long time to think about it or a Prime, but ended up with an in for this frame.
I think if I lived in a place with smoother trails and not such tight techy stuff it would have been the prime. The guy here loves his, but he hasn't taken it on a few of the trails I frequent. It's still one of the best looking bikes, I've always likes your build. And especially now that it makes Motor Noises with them big ole tires. My frame may arrive today!
