hearing their testimonials, I jumped in with both feet. One of the reason I have held out for so long was giving up my 21.5 pound Giant XTC C1 carbon racer for a clunky 25+ pound 29er. But then in the last few years Gary Fisher came out with the Superfly and now getting a light weight 29er for a good price seemed reasonable. Admittedly, I have never been a Fisher fan, but come on, if you don't think a Superfly is not sexy you kidding yourself. So after stripping the XTR drive train of the Giant, and dropping some cash on some lite weight carbon goodies, I was able to build up a 23 lb. 29er race rig. This thing has enough carbon fiber to make a European Sports car Jealous! As mentioned above, I transferred a lot of stuff over from the Giant. But with out going into to much detail here are some of the new highlights of the buildMavic Crossmax 29ers
Raceface Next Carbon crank (Only 730 grams with BB!)
FSA OS 99 Carbon Stem (Super lite)
Avid Juicy Ultimate Brakes (In Sexy white!)
Now if I can only buy a set of legs and lungs....enjoy!

Funny, I was pouting about not having a Superfly in my blog earlier this week. You're killing me.
Stupid 29" clown wheels? Phfft!
;) welcome to the sweet rolling world of 700cc's, brother!
Welcome to the big boys club!
That is a sweet looking rig!
I like my Quiring, but if Fisher made a Superfly in a XXL frame, I am on it!
See you at the races!

.....I am far from a Fisher fan but I'll give you props on a solid build. That thing looks like a tiger ready to pounch on it's prey. I'm going to want to hear all about how this bike rides. And that crankset......sexiest one out there next to the Extralite double.

Nice Rig! ;)
