Bike Check #1

I recently updated my quiver of bikes and figured it would be fun to do a bike check post.

I'll start with the bike I've been riding the most as of lately.

2011 Specialized P3
2011 fox 831 with Kashima coating 15m T/A
Raceface atlas FR bars, cranks, chainring, stem, and grips (rest in peace)
Thomson seatpost cut tear jerkingly short
Specialized DJ saddle
Gusset plastic pedals
Spank subrosa rims laced to shimano XT hubs.
Specialized renegade 2.0 xc tars (badass)
Avid juicy 7 rear brake with a bent ass rotor




Weighing in at 25lbs its the best riding hardtail I've ever had the pleasure of throwing a leg over.  Geo changes from the previous model include--

2011:
Toptube length (actual)  581mm
Chainstay length            394
BB height                      311
Headtube angle             69degrees
wheelbase                     1063

2010:
Toptube length (actual) 573
Chainstay length           394
BB height                     311
Headtube angle            68.5
Wheelbase                   1059


Next bike on the list is my 2010 Enduo!
