Thanks. It's fun but a rigid carbon 29er is quite a bit different that what I have been riding over the last few years...took a few rides to get used to it.

Another on-going project. Klunker inspired 29er using an old Schwinn frame. Awaiting the Retro Ryder headset so I can use the 1 1/8" rigid fork, and a longer seatpost. added rear disc brake mounts. There is just enough clearance at the rear stays to run a 2.1 Small Block Eight 29er tire without modification. The bottom bracket height is 13.75", liveable. It will be geared 1x9. In the future I may add an 80mm suspension fork.

Really nice man.
Always wanted one of those. I actually have an Inbred single speed frame in the garage that I'm going to build up some day.
How does it ride?

Here's a more recent picture of the bike. I took the hardtail on the Rubicon trail and had a blast.

Pivot Mach 5.7 Carbon with XT/XTR set-up. Sits about 27lbs as-is, can easily be lighter with wheels, saddle, and no dropper post. Should get the first ride in today I hope!

Just got this today. Still at the store because I didnt have my rack with me to bring it home.
I have a Trek 4.5 and have wanted a Mountain Bike for a while. My LBS was having an end of season sale where everything in the store was 50% off. The only research I have done before on MBs was about Trek bikes. I went in this morning and only had 30 minutes before I had to leave for work. They had a Specialized Rockhopper, Felt 970, and a Focus Black Forest 2.0. They told me to skip the Specialized and do the Felt or Focus. I took the Focus out for a spin and LOVED it. The Focus website had MSRP at 1,500. The store had it marked for 1,200. So I paid $600. Very happy and cant wait to ride it!.

I can already fly... and am pretty happy with those Race Face cranks although the stealth project meant I had to swap out the lighter Race Face SL carbon cranks I was using.
Those live on my RM Blizzard and are a nice match as they are red with the black carbon cores... interesting note on those is that my neighbour designed the first Aluminium / carbon cranks for Race Face and I have seen the pre production beta versions he has kept with him.

Here's a new one- an old garage sale fisher I put an electric hub on. Tops out at about 18mph, but it gets there pretty quickly. It also has gotten a lot of interest- there's a growing crew local riders that want to take it out on the trails. I really need to get the battery mounted on the downtube to get the weight balance right so I can bunnyhop it better.
I have other mountain bikes, but this is the only one I've had out recently. :/

^^ Love that Transition. Very nice.
Here's my ride, 2011 Redline Monocog, "The Beast". I've been saving money here and there and making some upgrades on it.
Geared at 33X19 right now, seems to be good for the trails around the Twin Cities. I took it up to Duluth over the weekend and some of the steep hills there just about made my heart explode.
