Because of some medical problems, I sold my DH bike a couple of months ago and bought myself an xc bike to fill the weekends. Never thought I would love riding it so much, and its a good training for riding dh in the future again :biggrin:

Here it is:

Specialized Epic Marathon frame
Lefty Speed DLR2, 88+ Tuned
Avid Juicy 7 Carbon brakes
Easton EC90 bars
PRO XCR Bart Brentjens
Ergon GR2 grips + magnesium bar ends
FSA Mega Exo cranks and bb
Mavic crossmax XL ust back wheel with Michelin XCR AT tyre (winter) of XCR Dry (summer)
Mavic XM819 disc Ust for Lefty front wheel with Nobby Nic tyre
Sram X.0 gripshift
X.9 rear derailleur
X.gen front derailleur
Thompson Elite seatpost
Hope clamp
Fizik Gobi Wingflex seat


Currently I'm changing some stuff (what do you have to do when you cant ride for four weeks ). What's waiting in my room for summertime is:

a Fox 32 F100 RLC fork (in white)
a set of Fulcrum Red Metal Zero wheels
a set of XTR 970 cranks
a Ritchey WCS bar, in Wet White

Wow - sick bike! Really nice. Buy why ditch the lefty in favor of the Fox Fork?

 

[sanjuro]

That's insane!

 

[Craw4x4PH]

Wow! Sweet ride!

Amen on switching to the fox fork. Lefties have always scared me.

My thoughts exactly.

I just wanted to try something else. I had a picture in mind of how I wanted my bike and what I wanted to change. The Fulcrum wheels were in that picture, so to be able to run them I had to install another fork. Nothing wrong with the Lefty, tbh I'm quite impressed of how they ride actually, but sadly a Lefty and a Fulcrum Red Metal Front wheel don't match...

What are you planning for the lefty and wheels? I have a new 2008 Stumpy which would be pretty darn cool with a lefty on it

Lefty will be sold, or kept for a winter project.
