How many bikes do you have?! Haha, really nice build, whats the final weight?

kovaldesign (May 12, 2013 at 10:35)

Thanks man. 3 at this moment - this one, El Mariachi and Croix De Fer for commuting. The Wig is heavier than I wanted at 13.5kg but I don't see it as a big issue.

charlie079 (May 12, 2013 at 12:08)

Damn, thought you had more! Always seem to be on something different, all such nice bikes though. Thats not too bad, looks like it could handle anything you throw at it.

kovaldesign (May 12, 2013 at 12:41)

That's my first impression too. Riding in mountains soon.

charlie079 (May 14, 2013 at 11:44)

Not like the hills round here then haha.

So Ragley 29" and Salsa is 650b?

kovaldesign (May 31, 2013 at 15:00)

Both bikes full 29ers. Smaller wheels are gone from my garage.

kaku (Jun 1, 2013 at 3:31)

Hmm, Ragley for trails and Salsa for pure XC?

kovaldesign (Jun 1, 2013 at 13:29)

Salsa XC race bike, Big Wig permanently in Beskidy to brighten up my holidays :-)

kaku (Jun 2, 2013 at 11:58)

Sounds nice

nikoniko (May 11, 2013 at 17:02)

I love it!

So is the salsa out or just on a different build?

kovaldesign (May 12, 2013 at 4:04)

Different build. No more full sussers, no more aluminium, no more 26". These are my current needs.

nikoniko (May 13, 2013 at 7:23)

Very cut-throat and to the point! I like it!

limbless (May 11, 2013 at 21:31)

29？
