I took it apart about 2 years ago to service the shock/forks and never put it back together.

I purchased it as a closeout frame at the end of 2011, that is why it has such a mish mash of parts. Lot's of miles on this bike as I used to do endurance rides on it, I think it's one of the earlier carbon fiber MB's in 29", I could be wrong.. Still looking pretty good for its age and usage.
Nice lightweight ride. 2x drivetrain? Is that one of those Specialized Brain rear shocks? I had an 07 Stumpy Elite with one and after 3 warranty shocks I just ran it full on or full off can't remember.

I'm pretty sure it's 11-32, I'll take a look later

Good to get back on the bike again!
Yeah I made it 2x, front shifter is 3x that I adjusted so the chain wont drop. I did this back when 2x was not as popular as it is now. Heck it seems a lot of bikes are 1x now thath they have 12speed.
It does have a brain shock and I have been very lucky with it. (touches wood)
I am also putting my old Stumpjumper back together. My fifteen year old spotted it and asked if he could ride it. Hardest part was finding a decent non tapered steerer fork since it's on 09 frame. Straight steerer.
After I bought an X Fusion with a straight steerer, I discovered Manitou has a Murkour or something still readily available with straight 1 1/8" steerers. Wish I knew.
Nice bike, you are miles ahead of me on bike restore. We have just plain old folks bikes, Cannondale street only, lol...74 years young. I would like to ride the bike you have, I need to try new adventures..
Just an FYI to a fellow clyde, I recently started putting four piston calipers on the front wheels on my bikes and I am much appier with my brakes performance.
