I forgot to order a FD in time. I will be running an IRD compact drive road deraileur, utilizing a roller by the BB.

With my trailbike wheels on there it weighs in at 23. Race wheels should be 21lbs.

SAWEET!

Take all those gears off and I bet it'll be really fast ;D

Nice drops, and great looking frame. Is it a production bike or a one off?

Those drops actually are replaceable with some very trick pivoting single speed drops that use the top bolt as a pivot.

This is a pre-production prototype. Production bikes will be available this fall.

If you get a chance post some pics of the SS drop, sounds cool. Are you guys looking to do a 29er frame by any chance? That might make me consider going with aluminum over steel.

I would LOVE to go to the Adventure ride, but I'm already committed to the US Open DH race down in Jersey this weekend. Lets ride this afternoon if you want to see it!

I need to take a raincheck. Work is piled to high to get out of here by then. How about Monday or Tuesday?

That replaceable derailleur hangar is friggin sweet! Sure beats not having a replaceable one (way to many bad experiences with that...)
