I dont have an exact figure to give you, mainly because I dont really know how I would weigh it. All i can say is it's pretty light. If you can tell me how to weigh it i would come back with a number.

My Surly1x1 at the farm
running a 2.5 Specialized Pin'it Pro up front, and a Specialized endoro 2.2 (for the moment) in the back. Truvativ Husselfelt crankset, novatec SS cassette hub, and some old watersnake bottle cages
Took my wife to the LBS to buy a bike. They had none in her size except a Scapel. So she is going to wait for some more bikes to get built. I wound up leaving with this Specialized Stumpy FSR expert ex test bike

Latest homebuild. Nashbar Steel ATB Frame ($44.95!) and spare parts from about 3 bikes--a Frankenbike! I'm only missing the FD since all the ones I have are 31.8 and I need 28.6. I've got a Tourney 28.6 on the way (it's only a FD so I'm not worried about it being Tourney). I'm going to repaint the fork to Red, Yellow, Black and White--since they're all precious in His sight.

Heya... I'm a wee bit new to the mountain biking thing, but I just picked up my '06 Stumpy disc. Still has its factory reflectors and everything... couldn't wait to take it out for some fun.
With a bit of dirt:

If you are indeed "a wee bit new to the mountain biking thing", you definately went all out for a newbie. That's a decent rig for XC.
Good job!
BTW, here's the pic so peep's don't have to clicky:

Might want to obscure that license plate a bit...unless it's not yours, I guess.

Not entry level, no... but I'm a pretty avid biker, and figured I'd budget for the bike that really felt right. I tried out the Rockhopper (which I liked very much, esp. for the $$), the Epic and the FSRxc. For the amount of kit and the riding I plan on doing, the Stumpy seemed like the right bet. I had originally budgeted $800, but after riding the Rockhopper and Stumpjumper back to back for a bit, the Stumpy was the one that begged to go to home with me. It's probably a little over my head, but from the discussion on here it should be a good bike for me to grow with.
An S-works would have killed my ability to eat and pay car insurance... hmmmm.... Like, for example, the S-works Stumpjumper FSR Carbon that's oh... what, $7000?? Hahahaha. I wish my pockets were that deep.
I can obscure my plate... I've never worried much about such things. But it may be a worthwhile thing, so I'll update.

Wow, that bike looks ten times better than it used to.
Is that a matching pair of tires I see? and are those new brakes Kona?
