the old (2006) pdc in allmountain-y lowrider mode. totem dropped to 160mm [HTML_REMOVED] 1/2" shorter shock (from 8.25" to 6.75" travel). bb @ 12.5" / h/a ~65*. right proper! a bit under 35lbs.

Rad. What's the effective seat angle - bb to rail maybe?

stupid slack. not great climbing ergonomics; could use a reverse layback post. fun enough going down though.

I've yet to ride a bike that's too low so I figured I'd try and probe the limits of practicality. need to be cognizant of where your pedals are but feels ace so far. might need to go flat bar to approximate a 'normal' bar to pedal height.

picked up a nice 2012 gspot frame. the blue is beauty. 34.54 lbs as pictured, single ply minion, older parts. i have a gravity dropper post soon to go on plus i think i need a longer stem and wider bar. took it out to crown point in rossland. seems to climb way better than my hustler and felt really good on the way down. pretty happy.

edit: pic with gravity dropper on it
edit #2: minion exo 2.5 tubeless (3c front, normal rear). shimano 647 pedals. 35.58 pounds

Chromag OSX black chrome bar

Chromag Lynx DT saddle
Minnion DHF EXO front
Kenda BBG UST/DTC rear
Shimano m540 clipless

30lbs 2oz as pictured, I mounted the tires with more than 2 cups of Stans as I didn't want to flat during the Crankworx Enduro.

It's been as low as 27lbs without the Gravity Dropper and lighter seat, stem and tires for the Nimby 50.

colin and shirk, those are some sick rides. thanks for resurrecting this thread

colin, i think your gd's cable is facing the wrong way. as far as i can tell the cable is supposed to exit from the back and loop around - having it face forward makes it much more likely to kink, which causes problems
