Started with a Rocky Mountain Element A30 that I got in a two for one deal with a bike for my wife. I've now changed everything but the frame, rear shock and headset/bottom bracket bearings. Last piece were these We Are One revive rims I built up with DT swiss 240 hubs and bladed spokes, and some Vittoria Syerra tires which saved almost 2 lbs. Got it below 30lbs, with the only carbon being the rims. I've been impressed with how this bike feels stable at speed and grips corners in hard pack so well but still climbs nice and fast. In rough/soft terrain it gets overwhelmed, but that just helps justify having more bikes.
