31lbs
Nice....my AM bikes weighs about the same.

Your bike sucks!!!!!!! I do not know how you could ever be seen on such a hideous POS... That said I would be willing to be a good friend and take it off your hands to ensure that you are no longer seen riding this thing around,,,


re you kidding me that thing is The Cat's @$$, Schweet, I may have to come out to Fontuckey just to check it out mang...

Congrats

This was Justin's first new bike in 2 years. He's waited a long time for it!! I don't see him wanting to replace it, but I think he does want something lighter for XC. I dunno. Either lighter, or more suspension and not as flexy

but I hear that Duba Bush is gonna send married couples a nice parting gift later this year and $300 for each kid....

I have two offspring......$600 should buy me a nice new wheelset and maybe some new forks.........

If not for the vasectomy I probably could have had some nice new brakes also
