  1. I have to admit that it’s so tempting for me to get rid of my 32lb Pug and 25lb FS 29er for this bike.

  2. Yes, very good deal. Unless you are plugged, in the components alone would be around 5g, retail + any tax. That’s parts and a free frame for most of us.

  3. Amazing bike! Have had mine for two weeks now and the only change I’ve made is with the h-bar for a riser h-bar. Very predictable and stable in all conditions so far.
