How do you build up a 23.6lb Santa Cruz Tallboy 29er? Well, it helps if you own the company, but here’s the spec list: RaceFace Next cranks, SRAM XX drivetrain, Ti Eggbeater pedals, Edge carbon seatpost and tubular rims, and Geax sew-ups, and some “really ugly” red foam grips.
The untoward adjective “really ugly” comes courtesy of the staff, who summarily rips apart the bossman’s photography skills on their blog. Good stuff if you’re in the mood.
