Gary's new ElCiclon

26.5 pounds of Ventana goodness.

Gary wanted a lighter weight 5" travel trail bike so we opted for the new Shimano XTR kit with hydraulic brakes and 180/160 rotors. Thomson stem/post, some of our hand built wheels using Dt-Swiss 4.2d rims laced to XTR hubs and Dt Swiss Supercomp spokes and aluminum nipps. The front fork is the new Fox Talas RLC and the rear is a Fox RP23...a very nice match indeed.

Gary.....we had a bit too much snow to properly take her on its inaugural ride so i'll turn the bike over to you and you can tell us how she rides. Enjoy buddy !
