Always loved those. Funny how everyone laughed niner off when they released their big clearance forks, but now everyone's losing their shit over more clearance.
@spinnnout It's all very well priced. That one is a big confusing. It's shod on knobblies, but has kinda steep geometry. I might just be a bit biased towards a proper MTB, but it does look capable for an ultra race!

It's a little frankenbike which is why my inner child is liking it, not sure I'd ever actually run knobblies! The stack is a little steep isn't it, nearly 2cm lower than the others. My bike fitter would point me toward the Al/725.
My main use is on road with panniers and the odd road race/tour/week in the alps/gravel weekend..one bike to rule them all(?!!). Now you don't see many carbon bikes with pannier mounts which sets off some alarms. I've asked for photos of one loaded but they haven't got any yet.

Don't need the wheels, maybe £120, groupset easily £150, brakes, let says £60 for a pair, tyres maybe £20 each (bear in mind we can't exactly sell it for retail), already it's cheaper than the frameset.
I like it cause it's colourway vaguely remind me of the Niner;
