NSMB - 2012 Light AM Hard Tail build off 4-7"

currently waiting on the updated chromag kamui frame to replace my aging rocky hardtail.

This. Except to replace a TransAM frame. Last I heard was late April to mid June.

So you're at 110mm with the Float 34? So the Fox 34 at 110mm is the same A-C as the 120mm Revelation? I'm thinking of ditching the RS Revelation RLT 140 I have for my Honzo and get a Fox Talas 34 and run it mostly at 110mm, then 140mm for the big stuff and descents.

I think it is perfect at 110mm… would never want more.

the updated chromag kamui frame

details? what updates is the kamui getting - and are they being done across the board

Not a contender but shes lost a few pounds.
The old Hammer FRs weigh exactly 2.2 lbs more then xt with a 32t ring incl axle.

I keep flitting between my Bullit and my Trailstar but for now have settled on my Trailstar as the bike I should ride most, so I'm gonna swap all the good parts over onto it and keep the Bullit for uplift days (if I can be arsed to build it up for one ride) or any bike holidays. Pics to follow in the next week when I get it all built :)

Good to know. Ordered a Fox 34 Talas 110/140 today. I thought about the Float 34, but I had a white 36 Float before and never really liked white forks. Transition is sold out of the Float 34 in black, and heavily backordered into the CTD Float/Talas due in a couple of weeks. If I'll get tired of the Talas, maybe I'll buy a Float cartridge in the future, but I can't complain for today, I scored the Talas 34 at an awesome price!

Plus my last bike, the TransAM with a Float 36 was WAY over-forked for the trails around Chicago.

You aren't a gal, and you fill up every bike thread with "Should I get this {Insert trendy bike of the day}?", and don't actually contribute anything constructive.

Ya know, I don't think I properly responded to this. I forgot to add a big old "FUCK YOURSELF, BIGGLES."

You did properly respond in rep. Once again, you didn't add anything constructive to the thread. (Nor did I, but I've got a hardtail that I love).

I demand more pictures of Chromags.

Nope.

24.8# on the local shop scale, but no pic - claimer only. Handles beautifully! Felt immediately comfortable,and required very little tweaking mid-ride this afternoon.

Revelation Dual Air, 20mm, at 150mm - may drop it down to 130-140 and see how things feel.

30 x 11-36 drive. XX brakes. ADvantage UST 2.1 rear, Minion DHF 2.35 front. Gravity dropper. Assorted mish-mash of other stuff. . Really, really happy with the bike! The TransAM was nice, but this feels even better. Only new parts are the seat-clamp and headset bits. And not having to run a shim for the post. 10mm Hadley bolted rear.

Looks awesome. How much was your TransAM before? Mine was a pig, almost 34 lbs.
