Great ride purchased new in 2009 and tuned regularly by Olympic Bike in Tahoe City. Super light, yet capable XC/trail bike. It has a nearly brand new Carbon Lefty 140 MM with remote rock shox PBR mounted to handle bar (purchased new from project 321 in Sept 2011).This bike originally came with a Carbon Lefty 130 MM, and I found the 140MM lefty is a huge upgrade. Slackens out the geometry a bit and makes the bike a far better descender without sacrificing on the uphill (only weighs 1284 grams). This shock alone costs $1,300 and has only 3 rides on it. Fox Floar RP23 130 mm rear shock, SRAM XO mix, w/ X9 shifters, LX front, XO rear derailleur. Avid Juicy Carbon Brakes, XT cranks, nice Mavic wheelset. Weighs just over 26lbs with crank brothers candy pedals, specialized 2.2 tubless in front and Kenda 2.2 tubeless in rear. Fine print.... There are minor blemishes on the frame, but no dents, dings or cracks. There is a spot where a chariot hitch has rubbed near the rear quick release and one of the breaks has the paint worn off of it due to how it sits on my bike rack (rubs against another bike). Otherwise, super clean. Rear tire is fairly worn and should be replaced sooner or later.
Check out the other Rize 2 bikes on Ebay... those have 130 mm leftys and are asking quite a bit more. I will have the bike tuned and packed professionally in concert with a sale.
