Put this together to ride yesterday, the new Fuel 9.9SSL.It looks alot better in the flesh than in the press photos.I'm going change a few bits to race it as its going be a 2x10 with Sram Red, double tap flat bar shifters,SLR saddle, a set of Stans Race rims with DT190 hubs and some lighter rubber.Also Avid ultimates in blingy white.It weighs in at 9.9kgs as is but it should manage to get down to 9.0.
It should be dirty very soon biggrin

That's going to feel fast on the trails, if you get it to 9kg sub 20lb then that is half the weight of my Big-T smile

The guy that runs our local LBS has a carbon Trek race back that is 15lb felt amazing.

Look forward to hearing the first ride report

Nice. Must say Trek have really started knocking out some quality bikes recently.
