I have a custom built Spesh Rockhopper SL Singlespeed frame w/ full carbon Niner rigid fork, Niner carbon RDO bars and stem, Easton Haven carbon post and just added new Hope hubs w/ WTB frequency tubeless rims. SLX cranks running 32x19 gearing right now, bit tall for my hills but good work out just PITA to spin the legs up fast enough for those rocky or steep sections. It weighs about 20.5lbs w/ the heavy kenda nevegals 2.25". Could be lighter w/ racing tires but I like grip over that last 1lb of weight. Started off w/ a $140 frame off craigs then spiraled to nutty from there

Other rig is complete opposite, full suspension 5x5" trek rumblefish 29er with brake and cockpit upgrades. I have a 140mm REBA Revelation fork waiting to go on it when I have some time to play w/ it.
