In any case, quick geometry rundown. Ian lives in Boulder so he rides the same stuff I do, and he wanted something similar to his old 26" Fisher in the handling department, but with 29" wheels and parts that weren't totally trashed from 10 years of abuse.
So:
-71 head tube, 73 seat tube
-61cm (24") effective toptube, 43.8cm (17.2") seat tube
-12.2" bb height, 43cm chainstays (42.5cm effective)
-Extra H20 bosses under the downtube for extra H20 on epics
In short, an all-around XC setup for Boulder. Good stuff, nothing crazy. Ian even took my advice on the mismatched rims (Crest front, Arch EX rear) if you look closely. Ian is supposed to bring his saddle when he comes to pick the bike up, as of now it's a super-light standing-up only race machine!
Also: flat bar with bar ends?!? Haven't seen that in a while.

That's a proper mountain bike. Like.
There's nothing wrong with white!
I thought the notorious Eszter might chime in. Yeah, nothing wrong with white if you EVER WASH YOUR BIKE.
:P

Urm.......
Pot...
Kettle...
Washing bikes.....
You're both off the team.
Again?????
Eszter is at like, 10x off-the-team or something. I've lost count. Nick, you're just at double or triple off-team status.
I think that baby-poop brown fits the waltworks aesthetic pretty well. Nice ride!
Aw man!
And I do wash my bikes. Just not often. And generally not well.
Well, I almost never wash my bikes either, which is partially why I went for the baby-poo brown. Throw in some of that gravel road dust and you get a nice layered effect.
Killer bike!
Bike looks sweet. Curious of the advantages of running Crest/ArchEX vs Crest/Crest?
