Not sure that I can wait for a new one from the factory. Any forumites here have an LBS with a Mooto-X YBB lying around? (yeah, right) Any members here a dealer with one to sell? Please let me know soon or I'll be forced to drop my deposit off this week at my shop...thanks...

MemberTry Alpha Bikes in Denver, CO. I was in there two weeks ago getting wheels built up and they had a MXYBB frame not built up. I'm not sure of the size, but it's either a 19 or 20".
Adam (the owner) is a great guy to deal with too.
Another try is to give Schwab Cycles a call as well.

Membercincytri,
Last time I was in Procycle, they had 18.5" Mooto-X YBB with XX Group. If you buy it you will have to wipe my slobbers off of it. Check out their website it is still listed: http://procyclingwarehouse.com/inventory
She's a Beauty of a bike; and if I bought it; it would truly be Beauty and the Beast.

Satellite; good to see your name pop up here. Beginning to wonder if "family" life had overwhelmed you...8^).
Cincytri - another place to try is the Orange Peel in Steamboat.

Member2 x 10 for sure.. If you run a 38/26 XTR or a 39/28 XX with an 11/36 cassette you will have enough gear for just about anywhere.. Alot less shifting over a 3x and alot more clearance.. Both drive trains are nice, I have ridden and installed both.. The XTR seems to be a little less delicate and the brakes if you are going to go with a full kit are Mineral oil on the shimano, alot less currosive... The new XTR cranks are a center piece in themselves very good looking.. You started with a great base in a Moots frame so skys the limit.. What are you going to run for wheels?

MemberFor wheels, I'm going with Kings, Stans (Flows or Arches- any recs?) and DT comp spokes. Thinking Racing Ralphs, Nobby Nics or Rocket Rons (maybe a Nobby up front and RR in the back). King headset and BB too. Moots layback seatpost, Fizik saddle, Candy 3 pedals, Thomson stem (until I'm sure of length, then on to Moots), Easton straight bars (maybe Enve), King cages, Ergon GSP-1 grips. Only thing I'm waivering on is the group. 2x10 XTR is big money, but I hate buying stuff because its cheaper and then upgrading anyway.

MemberI have a set of Kings and I9's both with Flow rims.. I like the Flow its not much of a weight penalty to go a little more bomb proof.. If you are a light guy then the Arch should still be a good choice. I love the Racing ralphs, just wish they made a 2.1 in a niner.. Recently started running Maxiss Aspens and wow awesome tires.. Running one set with the cafe latex and one with stan's liquid.. No issues and its a 530 gram tire.. If you like a straight bar look and the Ritchey Carbon with the 9 deg sweep.. Its a flat bar with a riser sweep and starts the sweep in front of the stem so you dont loose any lenght on the back sweep.. Food for thought.. Going to be one sweet ride when you get it done.. Congrats

MemberCongrats man,
I am partial to Kings and I went with Flows, but I'm a Clydesdale. Like Egordon says go with Flows to get the beefy rim because it’s not much more weight. All last year I ran Hutchison Toro 2.15 up front and a Bontrager 29-3 TLR 2.0 on the rear and it worked great for me. I just had another wheelset built up with Kings and Flows again and the tires I’m running are Knobby Nic 2.25 front and a RR 2.25 on the rear. I’ve only had it out for a few rides, but heading to Fruita this weekend and it should be a good test for the tires out there.
You will love the bike.Woody
