Quiring Cycles is a small custom frame builder out of Michigan. This frame was made in 2009 and I have owned it since 2010.

As it sits, the bike weighs 26.3 lbs. I have it built up with bombproof wheels as a fairly burly All-Mountain bike, but the frame is very versatile and could easily shed a few pounds with more XC oriented wheels and/or tires. The frame has very short chainstays for a 29er of this vintage (17.5") and as a result the bike is very lively and flickable. The brushed matte finish holds up very well over time, as any scratches can be buffed out with a gentle scotchbrite pad. The fork was just serviced with new seals in early January and is running buttery smooth. The through-axle fork keeps the front end much stiffer than the QR version when going through the rough stuff.
The only issue to point out is a small hole on one of the inner chainstays (see pic). Shortly after I got the bike, I mounted a 2.4" tire on the rear that had limited clearance. Some mud and stones got caught in the knobs and rubbed against the inner chainstay on 1 side. I've been riding the bike since 2010 when this happened, and it has remained exactly as-is with no signs of weakness. I have full confidence in the strength of the Ti chainstays, but a potential buyer should know.
I also have a front derailleur for this bike if you prefer to run 2x drivetrain.
