OMG!!!

Soooooo beautiful!

[caballero]

very nice.
whats the planned build ?

[marinTi]

OMG!!!

Soooooo beautiful!

But o so heavy .

[Hi|ikus]

I'm sorry, but 1390g for a 19" frame with v-studs and seatclamp isn't heavy. It's not Scott Scale light, but it looks a lot better IMHO.

[Franziskaner]

looks awesome! plans for the build? It definitely deserves a lot more visible carbon ^^

[theremery]

despite being a little heavier than a scale...it is an awesome sight...verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry nice

Very nice Kees! Perhaps with this frame you'll beat me this year at Gieten...

Will you use the parts of your Giant or a complete new setup?

[Kees]

MarinTi works at my LBS. I thought the frame would weight <1300gr and he said 1340gr, so that’s why he says that is heavy.
And i don't care that much; I think my complete bike will weight less than his ‘SS 29er’ and waaaay faster. Sandro you are doing a great job

The set up will be:
Fox F80X 2006
AMClassics-Sapim-NoTubes Olympic disc
Ritchey wcs alloy stem, seatpost and bar. This is temporary, I’m planning something more exotic but I’m still a student…
Avid Juicy 7 2007 (180-160)
XT Cranks-TA chain rings
Xtr front derailleur
X9 rear derailleur (temporary this is for the beach races. It will be XO)

@Thijsje; if you would ride a normal (26”) bike and not a cyclocross bike I would have beat you last year. But I would like to race you this year

[Thijsje]

I was just joking...

Sounds very nice!

Beautiful frame. Well if you take in to account the bosses (probably 30g) and the 22g clamp, you have some room to play with.
I really love the look of that carbon

Do any frame manufacturers make any carbon mtb frames for around $400-450?
I've seen some on ebay, but I'm not sure if they are really carbon or just any alloy covered in carbon.
