Karl Junior's Dream Machine

Last year my oldest, Karl John Tillman, raced on a brand new 2011 Specialized Hardrock disk mtb and loved it.  Though, it was a tough solid disk brake mountain bike, it also weighed in at a whopping 32 lbs. hardtail.  This year he's receiving a tremendous upgrade.  Some of the parts on this rig are new and some are light hand me downs from Dad's race basement.  Here are a few parts that stand out...
______________
Scott light aluminum frame 1500g
Industry Nine race wheelset 1650g
White Brothers rigid fork (really light)
Chris King bottom bracket
X.0 & X.9 components
Rocket Ron and Kenda Karma tires
Truvativ carbon crankset



Once again thanks to Ben Leach, sponsor and team mechanic of the Bikes LTD / Scenic Concepts Team for putting it all together and setting the scale at 21.5 lbs.  Go Karl John!
