not sure yet, whenever Pete wants to show the way

Be mindful I still have 4 inches of snow on my ground and wayway is further north.

unless you meant what kind of new bike, full S for XC

FS XC carbon bike.... SC Blur X01 22.91lbs

Prolly low end Talon with ancient XTR drive train. Dude is selling for $800. Does that mean I can sell my Talon for $800 too?

hard to see but crank looks like newer XTR, that and Ds are probably worth half the bike

that or a Tallboy. even considering a TB2 like Dan's so I can use current wheels with 142 rear.

 

[qclabrat]

has anyone ridden a TB2 and TB3? lmk what you think of either or both?

IDK... just taking a shot in the dark because I see lots of CL ads that installs ancient "high end" parts on crap bikes and demand a shit load of money. Was assuming the same.

@qclabrat, there's also the new Canyon XC bike; starts at ~$3k, IIRC. With heavy tires, it's ~26 lbs, same as my Anthem Advanced with lightweight tires.

TB is 26.09lbs with the X01 build
28.19lbs with the S build
Didn't you say you wanted a sub 25lb bike?

Saw that bike in the Sept./Oct. edition of Bicycling magazine and was thinking the same thing. They quote 22.3 lbs. for a med. build. Canyon Lux CF SLX 9.0 Pro.

Friday 8AM might be good for 6MR, since we are expecting 20F temps for over 24 hrs. Anyone up for 8AM 6MR if conditions agree?

I’d do that
I’m riding Mills tomorrow afternoon and maybe Wednesday

Can’t really go by mine as nothing but the rear shock is stock.... but with the 130mm fox 34, a heavy SMP saddle a dropper and pedals it a hair over 25 now...

 

[GreenMachine]

If 6MR doesn't workout Friday, I might go north to meet @Kaleidopete in the wee hours at Wayay

If my knee is ok - I’m in for 6mr

 

[Kaleidopete]

I'm not cooking for TG this year, and if 6MR is a go for BF, I'm probably riding Wayay on TG morning (anyone?)
@Kaleidopete are you riding in TG morning? if so, what time do you expect to be out?

I will be riding in Wayway, yes. Most likely NOT with the annual group though. They go at 8:30 see the link.

I hope to see you that day anyhow. I'll be around and we can visit.

 

[Kaleidopete]
