    Yea I know. I just hope I'll be able to keep up with her. All "new bike psyc'd" and such.

    Only about 30lbs worth! :)

    Yea, looks like there'll be no new bling for me for a while.

    Hey, you know where she got the psickness. Hanging out with bike whores such as yourself. So you can understand why I must put at least some of the blame for this on you!

    Very nice pics! (your hand model could use some lotion. :lol: )

    With that parts spec, I'd have expected it to be a bit lighter. What's the frame weight?

    How high is the bottom bracket?

    Absolutely stunning, Todd! Gotta say, I saw your name and "New Knolly Endorphin" in the title, and thought you were the latest to abandon your 'Moto. Whew!

    Again, just beautiful!

    Ha, the fingers on the cassette are my wife's! She helped with the build. When she saw that pix she about died. I told her she was just a tough MTB Chick!

    Well, I was thinking about the weight on the drive home. I guess I was just brain freezing when I posted that weight. Soooo, in between rain drops I pulled out the work stand, scale and bike. 29lbs 12oz.

    Bottom bracket (center to ground) 13 5/8"
