Congrats...damn that puppy is heavy though! My Enduro with almost DHX coil, 66 and a burly build is about 3 lbs less. How is the Blur so heavy?

Ya...I've been getting a lot of flack about the build, actually. A buddy of mine said it was a little 'butterface'.

Didja notice the Thompson Masterpiece seat post, though?

The stem, the back tire, and the bar prolly account for 3 lbs of excess weight. I could prolly use it for a boat anchor when I buy some decent parts. I've also got a doubletrack front wheel and a mavic 729 36 spoke back wheel on it. Heavy duty.

My plan is to go all Nicole Ritchie on that bike and purge the weight when I find some good deals on tires on jensonusa or whatever discount shop I can find. I figure I can get it down a few pounds at least just by not reusing nasty parts from old bikes...

Glad I'm not the only one. I was looking at it thinking, my Bullit is only a pound heavier with a 5th coil and boxxer. Damn.
