tintin's trimble because i know how anal he has been building it, obsessive compulsive doesn't quite cut it! shaving weight in every possible place. there are choices i wouldn't have made component wise but there is no doubting the obsession to get it light. sub 15lbs if memory serves.

:cool:
 
I've had to go for the RC300. I was a bit torn between the two paces but went for that one as it has a full complement of gears.

Still love the 200 as well though.
 
Ahhh which to choose which to choose!

Thanks for doing it bulls.

I will come back to it.
 
Its a pretty strong field of entries but Yo-Eddy's 2Souls stands out for me. It just looks so right and I don't think I've ever felt that way about a 29er before. Oh and the battleship grey paint is uber :cool: :cool: :cool: .

Honourable mentions go to the RC300; the brown saddle and amberwall tyres are an inspired combination. The Klein Mantis that's wrong on so many levels but just like the 2Souls, looks right and scores highly on the 'I'd love a go on that' scale and also the Trimble. An amazing amount of detail has gone into that build and its a stunning exercise in 'weenieism' but a 15lb offroader is a bit pointless imo and don't get me started on those hideous Trimble graphics. Maybe if it had discs and a bouncy fork....

But yeah, good work to all those involved :cool:
