LT painted it but the wrong color. So I had a friend repaint it.
Ride is quite different compared to my Mukluk.
The handling is close to a 29er. Could also be partly due to the 65mm rims vs the 80mm on the Muk.
Wt is about 25.5lbs (bathroom scale) w/suspension fork.

I plan to use the suspension fork in the summertime with HuDu tires.
In the snow - Nates and rigid front.

So far I'm still testing running the Nates which are great in the snow but energy killers road and trail.

My apologizes. I totally forgot I posted here. Too much time spent skiing.
I came back to this site because I'm thinking about what to replace my cracked 29er frame

Anyway. Bike came out pretty sweet.
Can't seem to get these photos to load!

How about this-

Just finished reading the whole thread. Very nice write up.
But I must have missed the comments/results on the Sept race you were preparing for early on.
Great looking bikes. Only thing I would change would be that white stem.

I cracked my LT023 back in Oct and I'm still trying to decide what frame to get. In the meantime I have a metal clamp around the seat tube where the crack goes 2/3 of the way around. Seems to ride OK except when railing into a corner. But for real technical riding I usually go with my fully.
