New build - carbon 27.5’er 650B 3k matte black + carbon rigid fork:

 

Hi folks. Few months of research, sourcing of parts etc. and here she is. Have her just over a month now. Took the time to post some decent pics. Haven't gotten around to replacing the slightly dated saddle yet (gotten-around-to is pronounced ‘cant-afford-to’). Bar and stem position/height still needs adjusting or possibly replaced. 8.5kg wifff pedals.

 

With a quality suspension fork pretty sure a sub-9kg weight can be maintained. edit: Carbon rigid fork is +-470g. Weight of quality suspension fork would be around +/-1500g. Adding the numbers together 9.5kg is within easy reach.

 

Ordered some decals and ended up preferring the minimal simple look. Size 17". Haven't quite put her through her paces yet and cant comment much on performance but so far she feels sweet. Enjoy.

That really is a beautiful bike Eric. There's something about black and red that just, I dunno.. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside :D

 

Here's my ride

She only has 105 on at the moment. I would LOVE to be able to upgrade to at least Ultegra or Force, but such is life.
