Well the XL X9 model went back and correct size landed this time but was the mega bucks XX1 model. Just built it later this afternoon and just what a bike. The frame & fork is like nothing i have ever seen before. The tube diameters are just masssive in comparison to any other carbon frame i have ever owned or seen. All the photos on the web just dont show the true size and shape of the tubes which are a masterpiece. Yes its not mega light compaired to my alu Beargrease but the stiffness is unreal. I swaped a few of the standard parts for my own personal preference and needs a couple more fine tweaks and it will be ready for action. At the moment its weight is 25.11 lbs with standard wheels. With a set of Marge Lites / Hope's it should be nearer to the 24 lbs mark. It will propably be boxing day before i get out on the trails for a spin and see how to compairs to alu beargrease and mukluk. Again a big thank you to Jason @ Westbrook Cycles and Ison for sorting out a replacement bike just before crimbo. Westbrook Cycles have now got 1no Med Carbon Beargrease frameset inc hubs in stock. Give Jason a ring and he will sort you out a deal if your interested. Below are a few quick photos before it got too dark.
