I've an old school version of what you have because I am financially "challenged."

1992 Rocky Mountain Team Comp w/ Tange Ultimate Ultralight steel tubing, Kona triple butted Project 2 fork(96?), Original DX crankset, old XTR rear, DX front, new Crossride wheels, new FSA XC190 post, Syncros quill stem, oh and a set of NOS Suntour XC Expert shifters,but I run skinny slicks because its my only bike and I ride alot in town with light trails. A respectable 21.5lbs. A rigid 26er but steel. I love it.

16.7! Wow, that's uber light, even for a road bike thats light! It must float over snow. Thought it loked like you went from a stop to fast in no time. The weight definitely helps there. That weight takes serious effort and money to achieve on a mtb.

Damn that looks fun. Bummer that I broke my hip! Sorry, next time I won't ask such dumb questions without reading the included notes!

@schlooonginator Haha no problem :) Ye, the bike sits at about 16.7lbs and it's a 26er, even though it has a 29er fork. Works very well, as you can see :)

Very cool is that aNiner carbon fork? How do you like it? Oh, and what does your bike weigh? I'm guessing around20lbs. Whoops I'm being shy at the guestimate, thought it was SS-still gotta be in the early 20s. 29er must be awesome in snow!

Awesome video, Awesome riding... I also enjoyed your video riding you're cycle cross bike. This inspired me, I am totally looking forward to winter riding here in Canada!

I really liked it. For me, in Spain, it seems impossible to ride in snow but have to try.

Well done! I live in Russia and also like winter riding. A pair of Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro 2.35 is waiting for ice and snow! Just ordered a GoPro so get ready to watch some videos from Russia!

P.S. What pedals do you use in winter - clipless or platforms?

[pexi2]

@igorchalov Thanks! I'm using clipless spd pedals.

I am planing to put rigid fork on my bike, which will be used for touring mostly, not hard terrain :) I ride fox all the time, and I am not sure how hard for me will be to get used on rigid fork any advice, maybe ?

Ps. great video.

Nice weather and nice trails. Have to watch again in home with faster internet connection.
