After riding a 38lb hardtail for a couple of seasons, I wanted a lighter and more capable rig that was less taxing, both on the way up and down.

One new frame and wheelset later...

I haven't weighed it yet, but I think that after swapping the frame, wheelset (including tubes, tires, and cassette), and saddle, I've shaved about 5lbs off and it's around 32lbs.
