Not this one, but very similar - also a new R.I.P. 9 in raw finish. Mine has a tapered Fox RL 120mm front shock w/ 15mm QR, Stan's Arch rims, Bontrager 29-3's, an SLX crankset and SRAM shifting. Apologies for the crappy phone pic - taken at Flume trail, Lake Tahoe, California.

Yes, the space between the largest chainring and the chainstay is pretty tight, but Niner have this year added a notch in the chainstay to prevent the chain getting stuck in there, which was something that happened occasionally with an XT crankset.

Just brought one of these back from California. Interesting choice of front shock - Niner supplies an OEM-only Fox RL 120mm with a tapered steerer to fit the head tube. That Reba looks like 100mm? This bike is hands down an amazing ride... almost zero pedal bob and absorbs both small and large bumps. Would love to know what price you sold it at?
