Seatpost needs to be reversed for @Sandwich approval.

And then put a full time trail aero bar on it.

If you've got aero bars, you need to play it safe and have snow shoes too.

Thanks Guys!

I plan to run higher than normal pressure in the rear shock.

I made a bit of progress today. I put a carbon MTB bar on for now, with the bar ends off my stumpjumper, with XT shifters, XT rear brake lever and a Juicy 3 front brake. I also found an older XTR rear derailed that should work pretty good. Right now it still needs a chain and pedals, but its weighing in at 25.04 pounds...

So I've put about 90 miles on this bike now. And so far, its GREAT! Numbness is considerably less than on the Stumpjumper, and I am able to average 2-3 mph quicker. I did a 24 mile ride in an hour and 40 mins on Monday.

I am planning on doing a 100 mile ride on it in a couple weeks....

I did my 100 mile ride on this bike last week. It went pretty well. I had a slight issue with the rear shock making a squeaking sound, so Ill need to look into that, but overall the ride was great! No numbness at all, even though I took a couple 10-15 min breaks.

Damn dude, 100 miles on that thing is...something.

This bike seriously has the worst water bottle placement...

I love it , I'm sure you got lots of interesting looks
for the bottle have you though about a bracket then mounts them behind the seat
