Is the carbon Niner available yet?
In lieu of that I am thinking of having a custom Ti 29'er made. Any feedback on the Ericksen?

Axman seem to have a frame for 29ers called the M10. Haven't found a real life picture yet.

Although it appears similar to the new On One. Also features a post mount brake inside the rear triangle.

http://www.axman.com.tw/product-detail. ... =37&page=2

They are claiming 1150 +/- 30g for the 17"

BB30 or standard BB.

Anyone have any idea what this may be appearing as ?

What about the Orbea Alma 29er? Not sure on the weight but it seems like it'd be pretty light.

i think 1602gr is acceptable, Niner Air9 weighs more!
Your 'dale is only 48grams lighter.

A post on the On One website suggests the 18" will be available July for less than 699 pounds and the 19.5" will follow in August.

Yes.. But Eliflaps new Flash carbon 29 in size M is 472 grams lighter than your Scott.. That's around 30% lighter, for the same size
