I just finished up the the first of our team xc builds for aught nine
Big thanks to Chris King (hubs, headsets), Edge Composites (bars, rims), LH Thomson, and NoTubes.
Our dudes will be racing our stock 6061 Darksides (2.8 pounds for the 19" frame) for most events, and custom 650b bikes for the ultra-endurance and super rocky races (and our 140mm fs bike that's still underwraps).
As built, that bike is 19lbs, and we have lighter NoTubes ztr race wheelsets for the super climby events, and tubular wheels as well.
