Matt,
I would say it climbs really well. I really like and it helps to have all of the different hand positions you can play with on longer climbs. Bottom line, this bike is sick. If you’re thinking about building one, do it. I keep trying to talk Lance into designing and producing some dropouts with rack mounts for us that commute on the bike as well and want to add panniers. We’ll see

Super cool build! I am thinking of a doing a similar build. How does this frame climb set up like this? Thanks, Matt

Details coming soon. The build was delayed a week because of the wheelset.

eh…Steel vs. Alu…Also, the Nimble 9 has a lot of options if I want to change the drive train in the future (singlespeed, ect.).

So is this replacing the Yelli? Very similar build if both have the Talas

Actually (as Noa would say), it’s hard to picture you on a different bike. So when does the sexy purple beast embark on its maiden voyage?

I am sporting the Cane Creek S3+5 headset. You basically have no clearance on the downtube though…in fact I have a couple of chingas on my downtube from the knobs on the Talas 36 coming around and beating it up a little. Also, you may want to check their website, but I think the Canfield guys may be out of Mediums. I am selling my medium (as it happens) on ebay. Gonna get a new one next year and play around with setting it up slightly differently. Good luck with your build!!! They’re awesome bikes!

Nice ride dude! Is that a Cane Creek S3 + 5 headset? How much downtube clearance do you have with your current setup? I’m looking at building a medium up with lyrics which I believe to have higher adjustment knobs, and am wondering if I can get away with it.

The “One” rides awesome. It climbs very well when the Pro-Pedal on the Fox shock is locked all the way out. The descent is amazing. You truly have to ride it to appreciate it. Incredibly nimble and the travel sucks up everything. I went with the coil shock on the recommendation of the Canfield guys. It was a great choice. I am running the Fox 36 Talas. Again, awesome choice. It’s a very stiff fork with the 20mm thru axle. I did not go with the maxel. I have not ridden a 29er with 5 inch travel. Just knowing how a typical 29er rides though, I can’t imagine you could make a 29er as nimble as the One.
