I was going to wait to post this, but I'm pretty excited so I just had do it.
Gene at Spicer Cycles set me up. Titanium fork and frame, custom, 29ner.
The geometry is not exactly what I wanted, but my prefered top tube is not physically possible in a 29ner.
I've most of the components, but I'm still trying to work out the crankset. I've excited to try out the level components fixed/fixed hub. I'm going to run a 'mullet' -- disc in the front, V-brake in the rear.
I'll be building a Phil fixed/free for my real XC riding, just in case things get too technical.
