Additional Info

This was my bike back in 2016, then kept it for my wife to ride for a few years. Has been sitting in the garage not getting much use for the last 5 years.

Lately I have been wanting a lighter xc bike- figured I could tune this one up for cheap and see how it does.... got a new old stock fork for $250, installed a very old dropper post, new tires and gave it a quick tune up.

Bike has aged well- only complaint is the slack seat tube angle. The rest is perfect. 11 speed is still so good- clutch is insanely strong. Super poppy and playful, efficient pedaling. Very happy.
