Looking nice!
Please tell me the Tektro levers are the next to be swapped out. The bike is far too good for them

lol... sorry to hear about that... not using a rockhopper frame! where'd it go though? you returned it?
anyway, how much does that trek frame cost? looks great... just wondering how you can get current, new, "lower-end" frames, b/c i thot big bike manufacturers only sell their frames at higher levels ex. stumpjumper carbon frame, m5 frame, enduro sx trail, sl, demo, etc. and not hardrock and rockhopper and p. series frames.
