I like how you've included the weight, ahaha.
Nah, in all seriousness looks amazing man, colour scheme is sick and it's a pretty dope build :)

Spacer under the super dropped crown, priceless.
Yeah, after some runs the other day, I worked out my super dropped crown was too low by 1.758963mm, so had a custom red carbon one made... ba ha ha ha ha ha :p

I don't get what's wrong with it. I run a spacer under my Chunked crown. It'd still be lighter than any other dirrect mount even with 1cm of steerer and spacer.
I'd put even more spacers under it(you have the stanchion and steerer too, or get some minimum rise bars. Flat bars and Chunked(even with spacer)is hella low.
Nice bike, looks great. What have you owned previously?

Yeah, I actually left the steerer and spacer stack, so I can swap them over/under the crown and adjust the steerer height +/- 25mm depending on what I feel like, or how steep/techo the trails are. That's the beauty of the top crown, it's so easy to just take it off, rearrange the spacer stack and put it all back together - all with a 5mm allen key.

I had a Banshee Scythe before the Legend MK II. Both awesome bikes, but the MK II is a serious downhill bike!
