Was there ever any doubt? If you know me, you know my thoughts on Leadville bikes. I couldn’t care less about tradition or what looks “right”, just give me what’s fast. 

My calculations put drop bars 6 minutes ahead of flat bars by the time you hit the finish line at Leadville. Yes, I took out sections where you can use the puppy paws position and assumed slower downhill times (which isn’t always the case if you’re used to them). 6 minutes for me last year would have cost me 6 places. Yeah, it’s not a hard decision. 

Huge thank you to @thebicyclestation for making this build a reality. Be sure to check out their video on YouTube to get the details on the full build. After some course pre-riding, I’m very excited to be on a full suspension this year. The @alliedcycleworks BC40 makes for a lightweight package, 22.6 pounds or 10.2kg as pictured. 

Leadville is unlike any other race. It requires a bike that meets those demands. Chomping at the bit to put this machine to the ultimate test this Saturday. 👊
