mozo m30 fork
mtb riser handlebar
schwinn-quality threadless stem on two bolt faceplate
shimano ef-29 trigger shifters
pro max alloy linear pull brakes
wtb 26x2.1 velociraptor tires
aero-v anodized rims with machined sidewalls
nice ergonomic sportsaddle

the bottom line is to get out there and ride and price should not impede the sport. this is a good bike while scrounging pennies for a ds1 or whatever.
