Ok so I also have a Spearfish now. Not from this batch but one of the few 2011 frames that was sitting in Dallas somewhere. (thanks to Gavin for sourcing it)

I put the following stuff on it.....

Sram carbon crank

X9 shifters, XO r/d X9 f/d

Sram carbon 9rs brakes

Hope pro2 exo Hubs

Crest wheels

Crankbros pedals

It has Geax Seguero front and Crossmarx rea tyres (the lighter ones)

KCNC stem and seatpost (I'm 77kg)

Rockshock Sid xx fork

Specialised carbon flat bars

Sella saddle.

On the start line it weighs 11.68kg.

 

This bike is absolutely incredible.

I was thinking of putting on an RP23 before I rode it but after 2 races I really don't see the point. There is virtually zero bob on the flats and the whole bike just feels so stiff and responsive to pedal input. I'm seriously blown away by this bike.

I'm glad there are none available anymore cos otherwise more of you okes would be faster.
