A friend that is not (yet) a WW fellow just got a new mtb, I thought you weightweenies would appreciate this classy (to my eyes) and light build.

Specs:
- frame: Koba Racetool (triple butted aluminium)
- stem/bars/barends/seatpost: koba
- shifters/rear der: X0
- front der/crankset: XT
- brakes: avid ultimate
- fork: R7
- pedals: eggbeaters Ti
- wheels: dt240 hubs, dt revolution spokes, dt rims
- quick releases: koba Titanium
- bottle cage: king Ti
- tires: racing ralph
- saddle: SLR
- headset: FSA
- unknown to me: chain (XTR?)/cassette (looks like an XT 11-32)/tubes

Total weight is also unknown to me at the moment, but this should be a fairly light build. I don't know about the koba components, but they look a lot like ritchey wcs.

I find that everything matches very well in this bike.

Hey!
Yes, thats my bike :-)

-chain is XTR and cassette is XT, you are damn right!

Nice bike, the shifters need some practice but are working great. The Ultimate brakes are working fine also in the worste mud, I can garantee! Nothing to complain about!

That's the super one!

Feels awesome to me, but I dont like the combination with the racing ralph in the front, I'm going to change it into Nobby Nic. I will loose weight and I hope to get into a better performance in fast turns...
