HI everyone Was pretty bummed to hear that WR1 are no longer producing their frames…they really seem really scarce on the internet. Does anyone have an idea where they might still be sold? I contacted WRA directly with no luck… Looking for the 130mm in size Medium. Any help would be awesome Thanks VITALMTBers

Here‘s something to consider..during the Womens XCO Olympic race..Sina Frei finished P21 because she lost her AXS Battery..after winning bronze in Tokyo and getting the spot from Jolanda Neff..I dont care how good Transmission is - losing a battery must sting, especially at a race like the Olympics!!

Sounds like a good upgrade and agree..some of the stock parts work well. I upted for the frameset and built up the bike pretty custom - big fan of Canadian Brands, thus Oneup,WA1 and Forbidden. Its a really great bike and works well in all terrain..get some funny comments from guys with 170mm bikes riding the same terrain though - but once you ride it you never think its just a 130mm bike.

Beautiful and well thought out build..must be pretty great to ride? You mentioned "a couple things I might change" - what might those changes be if I might ask?
