Captain America!

He fights for truth and justice. And pump tracks.

Captain America

Build
Frame: Specialized Stumpjumper M5 HT

Fork: Fox 831

Wheels: Sun Charger Pro

Brakes: Hayes Stroker

Bars: Answer ProTAPER 780 DH

Stem: Answer ROVE AM 70 mm

Pedals: Answer ROVE FR

Chain guide: Gamut P20 with 33t Race Ring

Seat post: X-Fusion Hilo 100

Drivetrain: A mix of Shimano and SRAM (purchased the old fashioned way)

Total weight: 24 pounds with a normal seatpost, which didn’t allow enough seat adjustment. Just under 25 pounds with the Hilo. Now I can get the seat from full spin to full braaap.

Thanks
To Brandon Sloan at Specialized; Scott Boyd and Richard Travis at Hayes Bicycle Group; Mark Fitzsimmons at Fox Racing Shox; Juan Graziosi at Gamut USA; Anthony Trujilo at X-Fusion; and Sam and Mike at The Fix Bike Shop.

I’m excited to test this bike at this weekend’s SoCal high school league pump track build, and at clinics in SoCal and NorCal next week. I should have some strong impressions when I return home.

Hardtail braaap!
