Thats super clean. I would take the stickers off the fork but otherwise perfect.

That is a quality looking build and great job on the weight As others have said, any full sus under 10kg with the parts to be ridden properly is a great job in my book too.
If you do update the brakes then that would really top it all off nicely (massive understatement!). Different tyres, matchmakers for the new brakes and subduing the fork and shock graphics would be my icing on the cake but lets be honest that is being massivley picky
I look forward to hearing about how it rides and what you think about the various parts

First trip and some sightseeing of the nearby piramid. Riding the (short) trail with the new bike made me happy. Very manoeuvrable but stable in the (albeit very short) downs.
Found some stuff to optimize:
Don’t like the Tune bottle holder, will replace it.
AXS and dropper controls will move a bit closer and will be rotated as well. Some suspension tuning (rebound and pressure) to do, but nothing wild.
And yes, the fork steerer definitely needs some shortening urgently.

Thanks! Will update after some more rides and then also upload the final build list + picture.DanW wrote:That is a quality looking build and great job on the weight As others have said, any full sus under 10kg with the parts to be ridden properly is a great job in my book too.

Damper has been rebuild as a 3-position manual shock by Perima cycles. Here shown before re-stickering.
And a new seatpost. After trying some really lightweight ones the Newmen is the one that stays. Alas it is a bit heavier, but very nicely finished and color matching
Other ones tried but sent back:
MCFK: (152g) bought twice, both had badly drilled bolt holes at the clamp, leading to bending in the clamp bolts. Really disappointing for the money.
Darimo (92g):very nice and super light, but I need a couple of mm’s of setback so not for me
Bike-Ahead (150g): Unexpected badly finished for the cost, see somewhere in this thread for a picture.
In between I managed to damage the toptube and have had the front triangle replaced under a crash policy...

Some minor updates:
Arundel Mandible DTR for easier access to the bottle... 24g
Xpedo CXR Pro pedals 242g/pair (to see if these are just a bit easier clipping in than the Xpedo M-Force 8ti, at a 23g overall penalty). These also turn on three cartridge bearings and run very smooth.
