That color looks so good with those skin-wall tires
Installed a 150mm dropper on my Occam. I've had a 125 on it since new in 2021
2023 fox transfer fits saddle hight perfect.

Snagged an action sports mount from Outbound. Night gravel seems like a dumb idea but I'm willing to give it a try.
I believe @jdog was testing these a few weeks back and was gushing over them.
Is it just me or is that stack height very high?

BTW, amazeballs. Aside for not having any use for a bike like that whatsoever now I do want, thank you so much!

Is this your 1st Lefty? If not, how long ago was it?

Why ultra soft vs soft for the rear? Thinking ultra for front and regular soft for rear would be a complimentary combination

This is the 1st Scalpel Chassis that I can get my fit numbers on. The old Scalpel was too tall in the front. Even with this one I have the bar mounted upside-down.

Ocho with the single crown makes that possible. Still have 2 bikes with dual crown Lefty's in my garage. 1 being a Lefty 2.0 with the offset axle on my SScalpel.
Are you allowed to ride that?
Only the lab71 comes with a lefty now right? I think the rest come with a fox.

lab71 is a 120mm Ocho. There are other models with the 100mm Ocho. Also the newer Scalpels look like the rear shock linkage has changed.

We've always technically been able to ride whatever we wanted, but you used to have to be insane to ride anything else with our EP. Now that that's gone though?

They come with a SID35 under the Lab71, which is why I had to find an old one. I can't afford that shit. I bid on a few on the eBay and lost. I only needed a frameset but those aren't available anywhere. Same as the CAAD13. I've had one on order for almost 2 years and I just assume they're never making them again.

It's an inch lower in the front than the EpicWC although the space with no fork on that side makes it look tall.

First impressions: definitely feel some rolling resistance especially on the road. Its actually less noticeable in the trails but still there.
On the up side when you roll the bike over in a turn you can definitely feel the added grip. Definitely inspires confidence in fast corners.
Did a little climbing in loose dry dirt and there too the added grip was noticeable.

I ride Wildcat mostly and have found the softer Hans Damphf grip the techy rock climbs the best historically. Plus that was the only compound available. I’m waiting for the Magic Mary in radial to be available for the front. I usually run a Magic Mary in Addix soft up front.
