Q-Rotor rings, S-Works Carbon Cranks, Carbob-Ti bolts, prototype tyres, carbon everywhere create a 9.23kg 29er!

 

Here is the article: http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/pro-bike-burry-standers-specialized-s-works-stumpjumper-carbon-ht-29er

 

I'm not sure about Spesh's sloping frame though - Burry has the stem inverted to get the bars lower and they're still the same height as the seat!

 

Ahhh to be fast enought to have people make custom suspension for you....

 

Enjoy!

and he does not even have a cover over the top headset bearing. All to get the stem low enough.

Indeed! And Burry is quite tall - the small frame is probably like riding a chopper...unless they stick the stem between the frame and foork and just use a cap on the top.

 

Hmmm I remember a TdF TT bike that was built like that. Ullrich's I think....

Thought he was actually quite short ?

 

Hectic bike, lighter than my 26'' er eish !

[rock]

glad to see I'm note the only one running a negative 16 degree stem on the 29er.......

 

 

 

man you need to be fast to get away with the red and black grip/bar end set up

Burry is 174cm - I'm guessing his Spesh is a medium.

 

I run a normal 10cm stem on my large Niner and all is well...bars are about 15cm lower than seat. Nice aggressive racing position

I am also thinking of getting the Romin saddle. goes very well with the colour scheme.

 

It's not about the colour scheme.

 

You simply can't go wrong with the Romin saddle.

 

It is named after Dr. Roger Minkow who has helped Specialized with a lot of their BG stuff.

 

I have one on each bike, highly recommended.

I know with Spez I can just get the 143 in whatever saddle and it will work.

 

 

 

I have had the entire range, even did an Epic on a Toupee.

 

The Romin is a different beast, it was designed to keep your sit bones exactly in the same spot whether you are low down on the bars or sitting slightly higher up.

 

I climbed on one at their launch in Salt lake City last year and the rest was history.

Burry's wheelset is about 250g over a stans/amclassic build....so close to sub 9kg!But with his wheel pretzeling reputation he may need the extra strength!

 

 

Yip agree with you, that's why I built my wheels with A Classic rims and DT 240s hubs.

 

In all honesty if one was to go light with strength on a 29'er the the Edge Carbon rim with either a 240 s hubset or A Classic hubs, but the price ........ ouch !!!!

I really dont like. If I want a bike with the bars higher than the saddle Id buy a chopper. And that negative rise stem looks silly.

[Wyatt Earp]

It is slightly narrower and a little rounder than the Phenom.
