Orbea Scape. Built this one up from scratch with the help of REI on the fork/crankset and Chris with the shifters/lines. Weighs in at 22.5 lbs. Lighter if I swap the rear tire. Could easily be a 20 lb bike with extremely lightweight rims and XTR crankset. This one spoiled me and is the reason I sold the Stumpjumper. Climbing hills was never the same on a full-suspension.Details:
