I know it's lame but I wanted to build a Rigid SS 29er to match my Langster Pro. After owning numerous road, track, and Mountain bikes (40+ in the last few years) I've realized I'm just a Single-speed cyclist through and through. The more technology you bolt to my bike the less I like it. Lots of upgrades in store for this thing. It currently sits at 22.2 lbs but I'm planning on getting it down under 20 in the next few months.

Looks so good without the red accents! Did you use the same nail polish and magic eraser to remove the red from the fork? or did the 2013 come like that? I have a 2014 Crave SL waiting for me at my LBS!!

The 2013 fork was all black/raw carbon already. I removed all of the rest of the red (worked great except for the handlebars so I replaced them with a crivitz bar and I love it).
