I did. Nine months in Afghanistan let me build some savings 
. The Van Dessel was more of a whim purchase. However, I figure I'll use both bike regularly. The Pivot was as intended - longer travel carbon mountain rig I can race and ride for fun. Going to sell my other MTB, Trek Fuel EX8. Should pay for my racing next season.

Do yourself a favor and get rid of those Kendas. Every Kenda is slower than its counterparts in their respective categories. That bike is made for hauling ass both up and down the mountain, and is begging for some Nobby Nics.
Oh, and thank you two guys for your service.

The Nevengal is popular here, due to the very loose and dry conditions. Good training tire, but slow race tire. Thank you for your service. I worked with some Rangers while I was there. Good dudes.

Got bored without any trick or treaters, took a pic in race trim.
Gotta re glue the tubies though (the guy I bought them from taped them).

Ahhhh my new ride is sweet. Will post pics as soon as I can.
Setup in race trim should come in right at UCI standard with aluminum cockpit, THomson Masterpiece (which arrived this morning) etc. Super stoked to ride it today.

my zaftig bike (1300g frame) is 17lbs with tubulars! Even if I assume that your bike is 1050 g, that's still 16lbs with aluminum parts. The only things carbon on my bike are the fork and one headset spacer.

As for carbon? Frame/Fork, one spacer, and that's it. As I am a larger fella I am not by any stretch worried about weight as I race bikes not a parking lot poseur
Cavs Venge was 16.5 pounds in race trim at the Tour. Weight isn't everything.

Only in 'merica and Liberia could the populous be so dim as to not realize how much easier metric measures are. Or, realizing exactly that, refuse to adopt their use except in engineering circles.
