After awhile it started bottoming out really easy(no matter how much air you put in it). It seem to be something very common that is happening to alot of the Maverick fork that came on the 69er. If you give maverick a call talk to a guy in there tech department named Ethan. Really nice guy. Joshua,

The maverick for did go out on me. But maverick was very quick about getting it back. They have around a 3 day turn around on them. Over all i love the bike. So don't slam it until your ride one, it will change your mind. I’ve got a 19.5 and its right at 24 pounds. The maverick for did go out on me. But maverick was very quick about getting it back.

I've put a Ritchey WCS carbon bar and seat post on it along with a XTR 970 crank and 4ti egg beaters. Need to re-weigh it but it is certianly over 23.5lbs stock without pedals. With any luck I'm just under 23 now... I got one as well, just days after my original post. I’ve put a Ritchey WCS carbon bar and seat post on it along with a XTR 970 crank and 4ti egg beaters.

Rode it today for 20 miles of single track and so far I am in love. My Kona Unit 2-9 will be on ebay this week. It is a little pricey but the dealer did discount it $500.00 and as my wife said life is short we could be dead tomorrow enjoy it while we can. P.S. mine is a 17.5 and I have not had it weighed but it feels lighter than nearly 24lbs.

It was 23.8lbs in 17.5" with all the reflectors, etc.. and no pedals. I like the color a lot. The fork could stand to not be color matched but it still looks good IMO. I think I'm going to get it but that is a lot of cashola for a single speed! OK, so I just got back from testing this sucker out.

We're not building that many because the demand worldwide is small. We're not going to duplicate a 29er at Trek just for name sake. As far as color choice, consumers pic the colors not us! Root Beer was the over all favorite for this model. Thanks for your support! If you really want a rig you can find one. We’re not building that many because the demand worldwide is small.

They are getting in a 17.5" for me today so I'll check the weight on that.. It's temping to build up a bike from scratch but I think this bike is pretty sweet too. The rear drops outs are very nice... I was just at the bike shop last night and weighed a 21″ 69er; 25.5 lbs. They are getting in a 17.5″ for me today so I’ll check the weight on that..

Takes nuts to build this bike...Just like a lot of us believe in the 29er setup, there are others who believe in the 69er/96er...Just like there are plenty of folks who say 29ers are bunk... rock on Trek.
