Very, very nice... 
That is a beautiful bike.

I'm probably going to upgrade the cranks to 2010 Force as soon as I collect the funds. Those cranks are sweet!Super sweet!!
Oh, you even went with the TRP brakes very nice. I see you did not upgrade the cranks. Those Dura-Ace will last forever but I thought you were getting the whole gruppo?
Would you lick it?Nice bike indeed!
I guess so. Depends on if it has some nice peanut butter mud on it or not.Would you lick it?![]()
You can get some really good deals here. http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/TopCategories_10052_10551_-1Guys,
Really sweet bikes you have there. Love them both.
Not trying to thread jack but do you guys know of the best place to buy bikes? Up here our shops pretty much rape us so I'm assuming internet direct?
I have a specialized that I really like now, but it's too small (19" frame). I'm 6'3" and need a 21 inch frame I think and would appreciate any advice you guys could give me.
Thanks and I apologize if I'm off topic...
Sweet ride.I got another bike. teehee!
I got a 2011 Jamis Xenith Race, and have promptly stripped it down to nothing (well, I left the stem for now) and have rebuilt it. Pics soon!

You know what makes uphills easier? Road bikes.Sweet ride.
I hate rode bikes, I took one look at it and threw up....
I am considering getting another MTB but I have mixed feelings. The RM is awesome and can eat any downhill it finds but I have an itch for a <24lb FS bike so uphill is a little easier. I found a demo that is 3k off but I can't decide if I want to spend the money or not.

I used to have the MTB above, but warrantied the frame since the rear dropouts were too wide, then got this instead. KC weather is the ultimate MTB-blue-ball-inducing-climate. We have awesome trails everywhere, but it's usually too wet, 1,000 degrees, or something else is in the way. We have 200+ days of sunshine every year, yet only 6 good riding days.
Thus my obsession with road and cross bikes. I'll get a 29'er soon enough.
That sucks. There are limits to cross bikes. Not many, but they are there.There maybe about 20 days a year that you can't ride here.
I was out on our nastiest trail last week, it is a trail that is so rough that if you have less than 5" of travel you won't make it. A guy with a highend Cyclo-cross was at the trail head and I told him that it was a bad idea. He just laughed and headed out.
I saw him 2 miles into the trail with a bent rim and broken frame and I had to say "told ya so".
A lot of cross riders don't even mtn bike, they are roadies that race cyclocross in the winter time and there bike handling skills are not the same as a mtn biker.There maybe about 20 days a year that you can't ride here.
