Fat Tire Trail Ready

The new rig is done and I just came back from a 1 hour test drive. So far it has held together and is my first complete build. The only mistake that I have noticed is I cut the chain about 2 links short so I can't get up to the 36 when in the big ring. I will live with it for a while as I will likely never use that combo anyway. Many thanks to my awesome LBS.

Here are some pics and for the gear junkies and weight weenies out there the specs are:

JOCMO: I just got off the trails on the rigs maiden voyage. That says it all. I do need to become accustomed to the HT though! ;)
