Wow, very cheap for such a good and robust fork! But indeed, very green :)

Yup, same one I have been looking at for awhile. It is a great price on a nice Reba. I'm not sure if the color will go with the wife's yellow/turquoise theme though.....

Here is a current picture of my 062 in SS mode with a 100mm Sid XX up front. 21 pounds as it sits. I would like to get it lighter but it will have to do for now.

Some minor changes (Push Loc, Tires, Stem, Handlebar, Brake Discs..) 8,7 kg (=19,18 lbs).
With the new saddle from China it will come to 8,6 kg (=18,96 lbs).

Nice look Jar_head!  8)

Do you have a spec list? You have about 1lb on me. I want to see where my bike is carrying the extra weight.

Carbon_Dude

I'm about 1 lb heavier also, my guess is I need to remove all my stickers :) like Jar_head did.  I'm sure my CS-057 frame is a little heavier too.

Beautiful scenery. I wish I lived so close to a ski resort!

What are you using as a tensioner?

Now is my bike finished and I have test run it two times. The frame is 18.5 and the weight is 9.3kg with pedals. :)
I will in next week run it in a competition of 78km xc race.

Nice Bike! What is you're length? I'm doubting between a 17 inch and 18,5 inch. I'm 1,78m long but with an unusual innerleg length of 89cm. What would you recommend?

Thanks!

That ski resort is Sugarloaf in Carrabassett Valley, Maine. The trail system they are building up there is amazing. Last I knew, they had over $200k in cash and incoming grants to spend on MTB trails.

The tensioner is a Blackspire Stinger. It took a bit of tweaking before I got the position right but now I can just slide the roller up and down a bit to adjust tension. It has worked flawlessly so far.

First post here! Ordered an M-062 last week and happened to stumble across this thread last night. I'm excited to get the build going and learned quite a bit from this thread. In inquired to see if they could make the frame with a matte 12k finish as well.

I'm planning on having two wheelsets, one of them being a 27.5+ after seeing bxcc's success. I'm also going to put a 120mm front fork on it with a short stem to make it a bit more playful.

That's the final setup. Got the new saddle from China and covered it by myself with a piece of leather. The saddle weighs 137 grams now (114 without the leather).
I had to use another seatpost, cause the Bontrager XXX Lite could not clamp it tight enough. Bought an aluminum one with yoke clamping from Grade5. This is almost the same as KCNC's TiProLite.

The weight dropped to 8.61 kg (=18.98 lbs)
