Total weight - Dunno, don't really care.
Purchased the Black trance with the idea of upgrading over time, as the black frame trance is easily the best looking.
Just update the fork to the Marzocchi 350cr's.
Next upgrade I have in mind is a 11-36 cassette with a 42t cog for the real pinch climbs.
Then the shock.
Ride report on the 350's in a week or so once the bone bruising on my knee cap settles.
Really sucks looking at the bike but not being able to ride it with the new forks.
