No updates in a week? Do only two people have this bicycle? Where are all the pictures?

I went ahead and pulled the fenders to fit larger tires on my 2012 XOXO. I wanted to go a bit more dirt oriented so was looking at Humptulips Ridge rather than RTPs. I found that Race King Racesport 2.2s were lighter than Humptulip Extra Lights and quite a bit cheaper. Mine were ~463g and ~481g and measured ~51mm on CR-18 rims @ ~25psi. Our tandem has RTPs on wider Areoheat rims measuring ~52mm. The Race Kings are a very tall tire and there is only 6-7mm clearance at the fork crown. They are fast and smooth. I took them out for a test ride and kept wanting to go just a bit further returning home 11 miles later.

I think these newer frames must be heavier than advertised. be interested to see if anyone has weighed their bare frame.

your wait time has been excessive for sure. I have around 1100 miles on mine now and not sure it is the right bike for what I am doing..

Those purple framesets are really tempting to me, but I actually have a purple XO-2 in my basement. I think I am going to try to push myself to set it up for winter riding on the trails, if I can get past the idea of exposing it to being wet frequently.
