Here is my new XC / AM / DH bike. Thanks go out to My Mountain for the bike and upgrades.
Upgraded forks and shifting from stock, not too sure on weight but they are ~14.8kg stock, not too bad for a 170mm bike.
I have only demo ridden one so far so a full ride report will come in a week or two once I've given it a fair work out (the demo ride blew my mind, pedals like a Remedy, descends like a Session).
Still a few things to tweak such as the rear brake banjo, seatpost remote location and housing length and just need to tweak the suspension once the seals bed in.
Frame - 2011 Trek Scratch Air 9
Rear shock - Fox RP23 w/boost valve
Front fork - Fox 180mm TALAS RC2
Seatpost - Joplin 4
Shifting - X0
Wheels - DT Swiss E2000
Total weight ~ 15kg
