New bike on it's way

**Wahine** · 03-10-2009, 12:35 PM

I started to get back into mountain biking in the last year and decided I needed a real mountain bike. I've been borrowing bikes from friends and test riding. I finally found the frameset I really wanted and I'm going for it.

It will be shipped to my friend who will finish building it up for me with a top of the line build kit. I'm going to have a kick azz bike.

Here it is.

A new bike day, is a happy day

. I normally say "hope you have many happy and safe miles together". But, we are talking about mtb here... so minor self inflicted pain is optional lol

What frame is this? It's absolutely stunning!!!

Wish i could afford something like this, still til i can my 1999 Marin Rift will have to make do.

It's the S-works Safire by Specialized. Carbon WSD with an amazing shock system.

Here are the wheels that where handbuilt for her.

Wahine - are those tubeless? I haven't tried that yet, but am thinking about it...

I'm embarassed to say I'm not sure about the tires but I believe they have tubes. It doesn't say tubeless anywhere and when my friend and I went over all the details, I was a little overwhelmed. I don't remember any mention of tubeless though.

Some of the specs have already changed a bit depending on parts availability. But that's it in a nutshell.

The frame hasn't arrived at my friend's shop yet so the rest of the build is on hold for the moment. I am soooooooooo excited.

I am soooooooooo jealous. That will be one smokin' hot bike.

I'm lusting after one of its less expensive cousins at the moment, but, alas, I'm many dollars short of that dream.
