For me I couldn't think of a better bike to be the one and only!!! My Farley only weighs 27lbs and was thinking of a 29+ carbon wheel set which would probably get it down to 25ish. But I decided that I wanted some squish in my life and just purchased my 1st squishy fork bike....Trek Stache 7. I love the lightness of my Farley too much to install a squishy fork....and lucky to have plenty of room for another bike.
