    The old Kikapu, now retired. Managed to do the '08 Traverse inferno on her.

    The fun that was the rigid SS 29er Unit 2-9. Miss this bike more than any other. Did the '09 CC on her. She got whored out to RodgerDoger; he's now whoring her out to a new home. She gets around!

    And the only Kona currently in my quiver. I love riding this bike among the thousands of other cookie-cutter, look-alike road bikes.

    Shoulda kept Kona purple nurple Unit. I couldn't bring myself to sell mine and I am still riding it. Though it's got a 2x9 drive train now so technically it's a Kona Unit(s)

    I was smart enough to keep the SS rear wheel. One day soon my 1x10 El Mariachi will be converted to a SS rigid...just for old time's sake.

    For the time being, I'm rather enjoying having gears for the first time in years. Climbing while seated--what a concept.

    Last photos before I convert to XX1 in a couple of weeks.


    Sitting at 21 pounds even, so I should be just a hair under 20 pounds with XX1 and a switch to Formula R1 brakes.

    sick build and ride. I was about to comment about maybe switching to the candy 3 or egg beater from those 1's to save some weight, but interestingly the 3's weigh more than the 1's.

    I actually have a brand new set of 3's sitting on my work bench. They do indeed weigh more than the 1's.

    I'm keeping an eye out on ebay for a good deal on egg beater 11's. A buddy at work snagged a pair for $190 a couple of weeks ago, and they are a solid 100g lighter than my candies.

    iibbmm - that is a very, very sweet-looking rig. Love the colors, the lines of the frame, the build specs, and the weight.
    That is very drool-worthy!

    Both bikes courtesy of Mikey at Coates. One of the only places I've found to be very proficient at setting these things up.

    Awesome I just finished building mine this weekend but it's a good bit heavier. Would you mind a parts break down? Also what size frame?
