Good plan... what's your price range?

BTW, you don't HAVE to lose the suspension fork to race your MTB, but you'd probably want to. The suspension will make the bike very front-heavy and difficult to shoulder up a runup. I do know of one guy who swaps out his RockShox every fally for a rigid for and then re-installs the suspension fork for the summer MTB season...
