nope. 38lbs on the nose. tubeless saves pretty good weight and the big earl wheels aren't too heavy. also, super light frame protection instead of a tube wrapped around chain/seat stays.

Meh...not really better or worse. A little harder to get a snug fit in the lowers. I'm putting the low friction ones on when the season starts up again.

Nope. Just cash. Sorry.

This is PinkBike. Calm down. Not everyone in the U.S. is as dumbed down as you say. I'd say the true ignorance shines through when you demonstrate that you can't think beyond a simple stereotype to realize that it's possible that not everyone fits your mold.

The white spots on the rocker link are just from the towel that I used to wipe it off. The links are in perfect condition.

Sorry man, my friggin "script error" thing kept shutting me down yesterday, couldn't write on anyone's boards...? Stupid computers... Anyway, no, not even close! I'm like 5'8" with short legs and long arms...makes fitting bikes a PITA! I'm def a small/Medium guy...

Well, yes and no...I know it's a beast of a bike, no question. My ECD is at 42 pounds on the nuts, built right. Not a fan of my 888, it feels great, but I miss my Boxxer WC. I like their design, just wish they were a tad lighter. And seriously, 10" of travel?? Good grief! lol!
What size was it and how tall are you? Hows it fit? I have serious issues with frame sizing!
