This bike is 3.5 pounds lighter than the setup I ran with my '04 R24. It also has a whopping 3/4" shorter backend as it's set up. This adds up to a much more agile ride. Fun fun.

that thing looks awesome! i like the new 05 all black look

I am supremely jealous as well... That is the way to go for a hardtail playbike. Cruisers rule. Love the all black.

Don't know. Didn't strip it down to the frame.

I can say that the frame/wheels/seatpost lost about 1.75 pounds. The frame from a much shorter backend and smaller dropouts. The wheels from 40 spokes (vs 48) and hollow axles (vs solid). The seatpost from alloy guts. Those are the only major changes I can come up with.

I'm running a smaller drivetrain than last year (30-13 cassette vs 36-15 FW) so that lost another 1/4 pound or so. Then I lost about a full pound with the Macneil seat/seatpost combo! That was crazy! Then another 1/2 pound in pedals (Wellgo MG-1 vs Azonic A-frames). That's my 3.5 pounds lighter (30.5 vs 34). I'm very excited!

PS- I'll get some better pics this week.

First ride at the skatepark today. Felt just like my '04 comfort-wise, but with WAY more pop due to being alot lighter and alot shorter in the backend. Dropping a pound with the Macneil seat/seatpost combo made the weight feel much lower on the bike too. Definately required less muscle to ride. Two thumbs up!

Got some better pics today:

Hey bulldog - do you ride 20" also? how tall are you?

I'll tool around on my friend's 20's for a run or two, but I'll never own one. At 6'1" and 230 the 20's just feel too small for me personally. My hands feel like they are down at my knees and my back hurts just rolling around.

Cool. yah I'm 6', 33 1/4" inseam. Been thinking about trying a 20", but I might just check out one of these nyquist 24" instead...

thanks!

My '04 fit this 2.2 ok, it was tight close to touching my brake setup (Evolver mounted on the chainstays). But the '05 fits the 2.2 even better. Not close to the brake (now on the seatstays) and fits the frame easily. I knocked my wheel out of true pretty good the other day at the park and didn't know it until I got home because it wasn't rubbing anything.
