And????

how does it perform?

Whats your final build weight?

It's a beast and plows through anything. Slow to accelerate which is probably due to the wide rim and WT 2.5 Minion combo, definitely a gravity bike. Set up is plush and it sticks to the ground, covers up my (many) mistakes well. Needs the 30/46 ratio to winch it uphill. Even with quite a bit of carbon and Ti it's in the mid 13kg range. Di2 is nice.

 

Biggest issue with this frame is the slight kink in the seat tube which makes a 150mm dropper stick out too far.

 

Di2 M8050 // 170mm Lyric // Ibis 742 carbon rims 35mm internal width // Magura Trail Carbon brakes // Renthal Fatbar Carbon and Renthal stem // 30t Fifty-Fifty NW chainring // 11~46 Sunrace cassete // Fox Transfer

Awesome sounds like fun and a sub 14kg enduro bike is great!!

Took the tranny to jonkers for it's first ride.

The Vendetta is getting there. Just a wheel stuck in customs, brakes and a few odds and ends left.

How's that SBG vibe go?

Build done... almost. Just need some fork decals and a nice burly tyre up front and that's it (oh apart from a Fox 36 maybe).

Dig those Vans grips - although they do look better on a red bike...

Stans rims are so good, I'd take them over almost any other ali rim. 

 

In 26" or 29" size?

 

Wait, don't answer...

Ha... actually I'm pretty disappointed with the grip on those. The brown ones are made from the same material as the shoes soles while all the other colours seems to be made of a way more comfy material. On noticed when I was looking at a mates bike. But they look pretty sweet!

I can't deny... I'm bloody stoked with it.

Still getting used to the bike and dialling in the suspension but I'm really impressed with how composed the bike is while cornering, it's very predictable, and feels well balanced. I thought longer and slacker would be more for straight line speed, but where my enduro felt like it was on the edge (while cornering), the patrol feels like I can push harder and faster.
