She looks rather promising in the photo - any more pictures?

Just building up one of the SPcycle M-05 frames at the moment too, size M.  Painted turquoise it weighed 1,000gr on the nose stripped of all small parts.  Finishing is actually rather good so I would be disappointed if it did crack in front of the rear brake mount, I guess we'll have to see.  Building up with Elite Wheels 30mm IW, Thunder Burt/Racing Ralph 2.35s, Elita One post, WCS riser bar, Uno stem, Romin Pro, Fovno Ghost granks, XT 12 spd cassette & chain, SLX mech and shifter, Rockshox SID Select SL, Deore brakeset, XTR SPDs.  Looks ace, should be quick and around 9kg / £1250 outlay.  Will post some photos when finished.

All seems to have gone a bit quiet on here - no new builds to report out there??

Thanks; they look great, but for the 24mm internal width....I like to run 2.35" Ray/Ralph, suspect this is going to seem a bit narrow....

It's a toss up between these and the EliteWheels 30mm IW (1490gr) for a similar price.

In it's current as shown iteration my size small Vitus Rapide CR is 11.5kg, including 300gr XTR pedals, 10gr carbon cage and 400gr loaded seat pack.  Deviations from the original spec are:

2.35 Racing Ray & Racing Ralph tyres (both 700grams)
Wheels running tubeless
Ashima rotors
Fovno Ghost crankset
45mm UNO stem
15mm low rise Chiner carbon bar 720mm width
Elita One 400mm carbon post
Specialized Romin Evo Pro carbon saddle
ESI chunky grips
Removed remote lock out switch and cabling

The reach of the bike is such that I'm glad I went for the size small at 5'9" (slightly short torso/longer legs).  Needed the riser bar to compensate for the low stack height.  I love the way the bike looks, not like the embarrassing mess that Scottish-saddled poster put up a couple of pages back.

I tidied up the cabling with some self-amalgamating rubber tape and used a foam damper tube to quieten some of the internal cabling after I removed the lock-out cabling.

I think there is no difference between the CR frame and the CRX frame and have no idea if this is the standard or light FM936, not that it really matters.  No issues to report on the frame itself at all.

The bigger tyres feel bombproof; it's telling that I've had these on for a couple of months having experimented a lot with other tyre choices.

Where I live the trails are light to middling XC, the Ridgeway in South Oxon is not that demanding - despite a lot of people riding around on trail/enduro bikes for some reason.  This bike fits the bill perfectly and I hardly ride the road bike at all these days.  That might change now we're into mud season!

The only thing I might change in the Spring is switching to some Chinese carbon wheels.  I can live with the boat anchor all steel cassette until it wears out, it's an expendable anyway...even if after 1500km it is hardly showing any wear...

Nice bike!  I've been lurking for a while now absorbing all of this great information.   Can I ask how tall you are? I'm trying to decide whether I should buy a medium or small.

I am 5’9”. It seemed odd going for a size small but after spending some time on GeometryGeeks it was clear that the reach seated was still going to be a nose longer on a small than my old medium Boardman.
I have done a few more miles on the bike. I don’t regret taking off the Oneloc at all. I do wish it was the XT version, but this was all that was available and no doubt I’ll upgrade in due course.
The frame is free from rattles, well finished and has taken some time to having the front wheel waaaay out forward, even on the size small. I like it a lot and wouldn’t want to go back to a hardtail.

It came fitted to the bike as standard, it's a Oneloc.  Can't say I used or liked it, 150 grams doing nothing but cluttering up my handlebar...
