Mountain Biking - Build Your Dreambike!

If you go over to www.wrenchscience.com you can custom build your dreambike. It'll provide you with weight and cost.

I built mine up and it only ended up costing $4,913.91. Approximate weight of 35.8 lbs.

Intense Uzzi SLX w/5th Element
Marzocchi Z-1 w/QR 20
Mix of XTR/XT
Hayes Hydraulic Discs
Race Face Cranks
Chris King Headset
Race Face stem
Easton Monkey Lite
Chris King Hubs
Atom Lab rims
....etc.

The scary part is that my current bike is built up close to what my Dreambike is spec'd. Actually, there are many things on my bike that weren't available to choose from. i.e. Profile Racing Hubs and Cranks.

I guess, I've got close to my Perfect Bike.

I can't believe the banshee Scream is considered DH...and the chaperal is freeride...:rolleyes:

Kelly frame, custom group
Agree not all the parts I would have choosen available but oh well.
I also cannot believe the weight. I built my wife a superlight bike (so I thought) and I spec'd heavier parts then what I have bolted on her rig, and her bike weighs more than what I spec'd?

As far as I know you would have to use 02 shifters and then you could use hayes. Otherwise the shimano disc brake levers only work with shimano discs.

Another reason to love Shimano

you know your right the shifter pods i'm using are 2002's, i didn't mean to add those to the 2003 stuff

Unbelivable, another freeride bike less n thirty pounds!!

Are their weights to be trusted?
Or do we add mud?

that's just more of a fat persons cross country bike. Not to say it's bad or anything because the ID is one fine ride in every respect, just the build on that seems like it's more tailored to an aggressive XC ride
