Such a nice build there. What's she weigh?

That there is a purrty bike. The thread on how you came to procure it is a good read. It's making me stoked to go biking again after work today. I fucking love bikes.
STOKE! BIKES!
Understood. I'm no weight weenie either, just curious. Pretty light though considering how much bike that thing is. I've got the same post and will never have another build without a dropper. 500 grams well worth it. I'm lusting after that Hammerschmidt too, maybe on my next bike.

Gravity. It's the law.
Having the build kit that cost more than your car show up, only to find out that your frame is going to be delayed another month = TORTURE.
Chilcotin build? I had a similar stash sitting at my desk at work for the past several months and went onto the Endorphin frame last night after I got word of another several weeks of waiting. I know they are doing all they can to get the whole first batch out but holy shit the waiting has been stressful.
Canfield Yelli Screamy. I guess one of the shortcomings of ordering any boutique frame is that you're likely to run into a hold-up of some kind, but there's no doubt in my mind it'll be worth the wait.
Ahhh, I thought those might be 29er wheels but the situation sounded so similar I had to ask. Good luck with the waiting, hope it gets there sooner than later! I've heard a lot of good things about the Yelli Screamy out here in UT.
New Stumpy Evo, not the super bling carbon though. Took it out for real ride for the first time this week, super stoked. Climbed way better than the old reign, destroyed the reign on the downs. So much fun in the corners.
