Brown Santa brought me a little somethin’ special today…

Yep.

That right there is something I’ve been waiting for since October…

Rocky Mountain has been playing this particular hand very close to the chest, but right out of the box, it seems like they know what is up.

Here’s a couple of teaser pics

Frame weight, 7 lbs for a “large” frame.

This is a pre-production sample, so I will spare you all but the most important details, starting with the following:

The front of this bike utilizes a zero stack tapered headset. I’m waiting for the necessary goodies to mount my tapered Fox fork to this beast.

It uses a direct mount front derailleur.

It has a dead sexy flat and soft touch black paint. oooh!!!

Chainstays are 17.5″.

I’m waiting for some of the more “hard to get” items to finish the build, but I’m almost positive I’ll have a ride report within the next 24 hrs…
