So I had been riding an 08 Carbon Stumpy which was great bike but wanted something with a bit more travel. I cruise over to The Path to check out some options. I ended up having them do a custom build around an 09 Ellsworth Moment and went a little nuts. Full XT, Thomson stem, bars, Chris King Hubs, headset, Fox Van RC2. I just picked it up last night and will be taking her on today for the maiden voyage. I have riding for about 15 years and have always have XC style bikes and have never done a custom build. Needless to say I am so excited. It was the longest week of my life waiting to this thing to be built. I would like to thank everyone who helped me out at The Path!!!

It looks even better in person. The blue highlights are not really showing in the pic.

Thanks for the plug.

I think I just orgasmed. That's the 3rd Moment in 2 weeks I've seen newly built and I'm just green with envy. Damn, I need one!

Very nice. Congratulations!

That thing is sick! Let us know how it rides? Have you named it, yet?

Draheim18 · 09-14-2008, 09:37 AM

That is a nice looking bike, I hope you enjoy it.

yeah, i hate when i walk into a bike shop to buy tubes and look at bikes and walk out with a $5k bike.

Pain Freak · 09-14-2008, 01:07 PM

I really love the looks of this bike (this coming from a true blue Homer). The Moment is what I feel Ells should of been making all along, a durable well made bike. I demo'ed one about a year and a half ago and I can still remember that ride today. Awesome bike and had a great feel to it. I really liked how the geometery fit me too. But I went with what has been a solid bike for me for years. I might still give it a try some day???

Wow man nice work! You just bought my dream bike!

I fully expect you to be completely in love with it about 1 minute into your first ride. Wow nice bike.

And getting it from The Path, you know that Tani has your back if you encounter any problems. Good stuff!!

Happy_Gilmore · 09-14-2008, 03:17 PM

Nice Bike, you wouldn't be a KTM rider would you ?

ray321 · 09-14-2008, 03:43 PM

Super sick looking, nice build.

KTMRDR · 09-14-2008, 06:15 PM

Went out to El Morro on her today for the first time and WOW!! This bike climbs great and descends even better. I am very satisfied with all the choices for this build. I just got back and I already want to go ride again.

Lovin · 09-14-2008, 07:55 PM

I wish I had some spending money right now. So does The Path. LOL

We wish everyone had more spending money right now. We are working twice as hard this year for the same business as last year.

Damn. I remember those days.

Now I'm just an unappreciated cog in a corporate machine. Sort of like my big ring.
