I built this bike up to race Mammoth Tuff 2023. I originally planned on using my Specialized Diverge, but given the terrain and how much more comfortable I feel on an MTB, I think this was the right choice. I wanted to go as light as possible, and I think I did a pretty good job as this weighs in at 23.2 lbs, as you see it! I had to film this one by myself, so building and filming was a bit of a project, but I think it came out pretty cool. The full build list is below.
