My throwback Xizang. Painted reba to mimic 90’s sid. Lynsey ti bar Full ti bolt kit by proti bolts Full 985 XTR

World Cup XCO on redbull. [emoji6]

Contraband Ti frame. Prototype frame. Only one ever made. Was a 650b design. But 29x2.0 tyre juuuuuust fit. Nothing fancy on the bike but weighs on at 8.1kg.

Thank you.

Was after the replication of the 90’s team p-21/24 bike’s. Sorta this effect with some poetic license.

Howsit. I did a weight comparison when I installed the setup. The full Rohloff system is only 900gr heavier than full 1x xtr 985 system (including a rear hub). So probably not far off SLx for weight. But it’s ALL on the rear wheel. Think it was 1.8kg for the hub alone. So yes it’s heavy. But on flowing trails it’s not too noticeable. It is when you jump or flick the rear. Very noticeable.

Some other project bikes of mine. Ritchey P-29 as a throwback to the 90’s as well. P-29 ritcheylogic frame. In same colour as the 90’s ritchey race team P-21/23 bike’s. Maxxis ardent skinwall tyres. Rohloff internal 500/14 geared hub. Ritchey classic cockpit. Selle italia flite titanium saddle covered in alcantra. Middleburn retro crankset Roxkshox Reba RL respray to replicate the 90’s Judy SL forks.

Yes my bike. Some history to it all. Raced a gt zaskar (cos the xizang was unobtainable) in the 90’s) and always drooled over Julie futardo and the othe GT team. Managed to find this frame in California after 3 years of searching the web for it. Stripped and sprayed the fork (Reba RL QR) did blue with yellow (instead of the age correct white) decals to match the decals on the bike. Polished fork crown. Thompson seat post and stem. Lynskey ti handlebar. Full m985 XTR groupset. 1x10 conversion. With hope extender cog. Citec wheels. Maxxis ardent skinwall tyres. Ragley saddle (with green/yellow accent to match bike) Full PROTI Ti bolt set. King Ti bottle cages

old school throwback. Modern/retro version of the 90’s team Xizang bike’s.

my single speed proto type Ti contraband Ritchey P-29 built to replicate the P-21/23 of the 90’s. But may look SS. But running Rohloff IGH hub.

and bar ends.....

If you go look on Csa website under Mtb. You will find the std xco time schedule Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maxxis Ardent skin wall tyres on my retro build

What bikes do you have. My stages on my road bike gives me 30-40w more than my training mountainbike. My road bike is a modern stiff carbon frame. my Mountain bike is a steel 853 frame. lots of flex. Mike

Do you not mean may?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hollowgram cranks and wheelset too.

You can buy them. Evo bikes has them. Enduro bearings overseas has them. Bb30 is 42mm OD. Bb92 is 41. So they machine the bearing shell down to 41. Mike.

My Anthem Adv (Carbon) is 9.7kg with pedals and cage, ready to ride - built for XCO, but Not overly stupid light stuff, built to not break, Full XTR 1x10 DT swiss hubs, carbon rims (1350gr wheelset) Lefty XLR Fork AX Lightness seat and post (only thing I would change if I was to race the epic on this bike) KCNC Bars Syntace flat force Stem Cannondale Hollowgram cranks with BB30 to PF30 conversion bearings Change between tyres for various races (Ikon, Renegade - weighed with these tyres, continental RS raceking) I weigh 62kg so I can get away with light stuff I dont do the carbon bars and stem thing, seen to many broken ones to have faith in it. The lefty coversion steerer tube is heavy (Ally) at 175gr. could drop 75gr there, 75 gr on the bars, and 50gr on the stem. easily seeing me down to 9.5kg but then it would be fragile in my mind. My HT is 8.3kg for comparison. Mike

Syringes syringes syringes Lets just look at this for a moment. Syringes to bleed brakes, inject oil into forks, lubricate linkages, or ANY other Mechanical reason will: be in a tool box, full of oil n dirt and OUT of a sterile packaging. So either the person doesn't care too much about infection, or It was in a sterile pack, which leads the UCI to the next thought, possible doping. So if he was caught with a syringe and they are "accusing" him of Doping, I would think they know the difference between a toolbox syringe and a syringe for medical use. Mike

I thought is was tarred. Except for the river crossing at William Nicol. That section is stone paved. Honestly though. All the sections that are being smoothed out are ridiculous. Like the filled drain at fratellis. The "Ruts filled at the virgin active. Etc It's turning into a bit of a highway. Don't get me wrong I love some of the work the spruit fairy does. I thing some of the single track, jumps and routes are awesome for what he has to work with on the spruit. But it is a mtb trail and as such it should be more off-road than dirt on road. Mike.

Hi All, Does anyone know when and where the African continental champs (xco) will take place? Thanks Mike
