My current trail bike )
Corratec X-Force 2012. 140/140mm. 14Kg. Cheap, but works rather well!

Fascinating floating-shock design and a good-looking bike too. Had to do some research - -Corratec had never been on my radar.

^^ It has a very Evil Imperial-esque look.

All right Mr. Demille, I'm ready for my close up.
Throwing in some lighter tubes vs. the stock boat anchors dropped it down to a svelte 32# this afternoon. The new tubes are a full pound ligher each. Cheap, easy, and the best place to lose it - the wheels.

Nice! I'm almost wondering if drilling the rims is actually worth the time. But, I've got a couple decent hole saws already, so may as well. Cheap and easy, just time consuming. So I'll save it for some crappy weather day this winter.

You could be a bit more creative and dremel out some ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ or asterisks or "Y O U R B I K E S U C K S" or something . . . .

I used a Hougen Holcutter to drill the rims and it went a lot smoother and faster than a regular hole saw. It has a shoulder that prevents plunge thru....didn't have worry about hitting the spokes.

Nothing special...this is my "I think I want to try out mountain biking" bike. New pedals are on the way. I also managed to eat dirt within the first mile of riding it. So far, so good.

Here's my new ride. Motobecane Fantom DS Pro. Reba RLT fork and XT components, some kept from the old bike including the dual control levers and 12 year old M755 4 piston brakes.

Curious to see what you think of that. Gave it an attempt when they first came out, gave up shortly. The drag in the overdrive felt horrible, despite a clean and faced install. Worked as advertised, but the drag was too much to put up with.
It's what ultimately led me to stick with the 1x setups, as I just ended up leaving it in the low all the time, and shifting up/down the cassette more.

My Surly InstiGator, build was just completed today by my friend Bob Davis over at Country Roads Bicycles in Plymouth Indiana, Bob is closing shop another small shop with excellent customer service fallen by the way side mostly due to big ticket stores and cheap bikes. Going to miss this shop
I am short legged and after a few failed experiments with 29ers and a previous build using the 96er format, the Surly Instigator fits like a glove.
I'm sure it will be tweeked here and there along the way but can't wait to take it out and beat on it.
