I have not weighed it yet, only the individual parts. Should be around 10.6kg.

 

Wheels are not the lightest and kenda nevegals are 770g each. Only decided to go light weight after I had most of the parts. Not going to spend thousands for weight saving. Will upgrade to better parts if I rally need to.

Hi Kieran, thanx for the compliment. It is a 2010 XC HFS 1000 D. Comes with a XT group, and Hayes brakes. I have changed the brakes to XT, with new imported XT rotors, pedals are CB Candies, and I am rolling on Vredestein Killer Bee's tubeless with a Stan's conversion. Almost the way I want it, just waiting on my XTR RD!

Red KCNC spacers is the only bling at the moment. Red skewers on their way.

Very proud of the extralite handlebar and stem from ridr.

Upgrades in the next month or so:

 Red QR skewers.

 Truvativ noir 3.3 cranks with 2x9 setup

 50g/pair handlebar ends on their way (Not sure if I'll use them)

 Unbranded carbon bottle cages

 140mm rear rotor

 

 

And maybe new wheels towards the end of the year.

Did you have any issues purchasing on ebay' date=' did you buy bike complete or just the frame, and what sort of extra charges did you incur??[/quote']

 

I purchased the complete bike.  They shipped it in two boxes for about $250 for everything. It arrived in 8 days. Customs charged 10% of the sale price not including the shipping cost. I figure that's a good deal when VAT is 4% more. All in all, the bike ended up costing about half the price of any 29er single speed I could find here.
