My Tallboy Carbon frame weighs in at a very light 5.1 lbs! With the components I'm using, the bike is not going to be super light at first, and I expect it to be in the upper 26 to low 27 lb range. We'll have to wait and see.

Here are a few pics of my new Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon Frame. I've heard so many good things about these bikes, and I've been wanting to get a full suspension 29er for XC racing, so I decided to pull the trigger. This thing should be the perfect tool for the job. I hope to have it completely built in the next week or two.

| At 5 pounds, the Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon is one of the lightest, if not the lightest full-suspension 29er frames available -- by a pound or two in most cases. But light is only just that, and it's only worth something if it's paired with handling and toughness -- and the full-carbon Tallboy has plenty of each. Handling is a function of a number of things working in harmony -- geometry, stiffness and suspension design. The 100mm travel Tallboy keeps things tight, and climbs like a rocket thanks to a responsive, compact 17.5" chainstay on each of the medium through XXL sizes. |
| The Jamis Dakar XCT 3 is designed to be a light, nimble trail/AM bike that can adapt to a variety of terrains and riding styles. A full carbon frame mated with a Shimano drive train make the XCT 3 a race ready trail shredder. It features a Full high modulus carbon main frame, Rock Shox Sektor RL fork, Shimano SLX, Avid, and FSA Components. |
Just received my Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon Frame. Can't wait to get started! Stay tuned for updates...
