I was very disappointed that after 6 monthes of use, I had to buy a new frame.
the sepecialized dealer is in good relations with are team and he told me that he can give me an aluminium s-works stumpjumper to Demonstrate the company's commitment to the team...
it arrived two days ago and the weight is 1.76 kg (weighted with derailleur hanger, bottle cages bolts, and seat clamp...):

after taking all the parts of my previus frame it weighted 1.4 kg (weighted with derailleur hanger, some dust


when I built the bike I decided to put an slx casste to save some weight and improve the shifting:
previos cassete (sram 11-36) 377g:

slx cassete (11-34) 345g :

almost finished building the bike, still need to adjust the front derailleur and brakes:

after five hours I finished building the bike, this is the first time i've built a bike and I'm very happy that I did it...
I did two rides on the bike and it is very good for an aluminium bike, not stiff like the carbon frame but more comfortable and stiff enough for me

my bike, with the carbon frame and the sram cassete weighted 11.18 kg. with the aluminium frame and xt casette it weight 11.38 kg . for an aluminium bike, I think that it's a good weight and it's the middle of the racing sesson so I dont have too much time to hang out at the bike shop and buying parts to lighten my bike, so also it's more havy than what I'm used to, I think that this is a very good bike and that it will be good enougth for racing at the nationals this weekend and next week (hold your fingers for me

today I had the first national race for the seeson and at the middle of the race I fell and my QR got hit by a rock and twisted on the drive side, after about a km the QR opened and I didnt noticed it. the wheel didnt sit well at it place, I felt that somthing is wrong and that the rotor is rubing the caliper, but I kept on. at the end of the lap, the wheel was really out of it place and the chain fell beetwen the cassete and the spokes,I stoped to fix it and found out that the rotor and the QR are crooked, I tried to fix it, but it took me about five minutes to do it and everyone passed me while I did it, after I fixed it I rode another lap and than went to the bicycle shop to fix my bike and get it ready for the race I have tomorow (another national race). at the bicycle shop I switched the broken QR for a heavy Santa Cruz one. I think that even if I try to brake this QR I coudn't do it haha
