She took the new setup on a maiden voyage this morning in 17 degree weather. Had a much easier time than the old rim brakes that were icing over after the first creek crossings. Tomorrow dawn she should be hitting snow covered trails on it.
It's a mullet braking setup---front disc/rear V. Replace the stock Monoclog fork with an old Bianchi SISS fork. BB5 160mm brake and a SunDitchWitch wheel on a Cannondade house brand hub. Forgot to weigh before and after. I suspect the Bianchi fork is a tad lighter than the Redline, but the wheel is considerably heavier than the Paul/WTB wheel that was on there before. And disc and rotor outwiegh the Tekro V's by a bit too.
