I picked up a used carbon frame from some company named "Trek" and stuck a variety of lightweight XC stuff on it, so this is what I have now:



The frame's a bit dated, being an '07... designed for an 80mm-90mm fork. I ended up shortening the fork travel from 100mm to 80mm to nimble it up a bit. With light 2.25" tubeless XC-race tires, it's about 20.5 pounds. I wish it had a third bottle mount like the Specialized did, but at least it does have room for four candy bars Gearing is still a 32-44 with an 11-32. Fast and faster
