This is my main workhorse bike at the moment (while my road bikes are being built up).
I'm happy with it. It works alright.

Note the cassette, 12-21T.

I put a new road bike rear derailleur on it, a black 105 unit, but that didn't go so well, the chain got jammed in the cage and it self-destructed on its maiden voyage.

Second one, just under <14kg:
The only thing I'm thinking of changing on this bike is downsizing to a 180mm rear rotor as this one is a bit overkill and the rear wheel locks up too easily when descending; hard to find an identical one though. Oh and probably will get a set of offset bushings to lower it a bit. Right now it's too tall, BB too high (fork + shock too long for this particular frame

I have purposely kept these bikes without any super lightweight components.
Because once one light part is on there, I've noticed it's like a disease and everything else on the bike has to follow.
Both 26" wheels still.

I do have a heavier ~18kg [downhill] bike but that's not ready to show yet, it's getting a few basic upgrades.
Let's see your heavy bikes!
