Specs for my baby follow...
Kinesis Maxlight pro 3 frame (med).
Manitou R7 pro (100mm) forks.
Crank Brothers Cobalt 3 Wheels, running on Panaracer fire xc.pro 2.1's.
Rithchey pro carbon alloy stem.
Ritchey pro carbon bars.
Ergon Gpx grips.
Ritchey pro carbon seatpost.
SDG Bel-air RL TI saddle.
Hope seat clamp.
FSA headset and chain.
Xtr m985 brakes with alligator 160/180 rotors (though prolly get some xtr rotors before too long).
Xtr m970 shifter pods.
Xtr m970 44t crankset+bb (with ti-carbon middle ring)
Both derailers are Xtr m971's.
Xtr m970 cassette.
With Xtr m980 race pedals to finish it off.
Trying to hold her still, on a set of bathroom scales, she weighed in at 23.1 lbs, though I'll expect that to go down once weighed properly.
Of course I love her, but what do you think?

Very nice bike so it's a 10 from me, love the specs, love the overall look, however there is just one thing you really need to stop referring to it as your baby just a suggestion. Very nice XC bike though :)

Bike Sex , not convinced about the Cobalts, a mate uses them and loves them ?? maybe Fox's up front would be nice instead of the Manitou (still a nice fork).. She is coming in at just over 10kg, not bad at all.... and great spec.... Def a 10
A note re the stem and seat height, is the frame a little small for you ??

Beautiful Bike, Beautiful spec a certain 10! You must be really pleased with how it has turned out.
However, just one little thing, I must concur with pigman on the stem, the bars look like they are in a different time zone to the rest of the bike.
