Man! Why did you just wasted this money on old bike? We understand you're newbie, but hey you should ask someone more knowledgeable about bikes before you buy this one. For this money you can get brand new decent hardtail bike w/good components. On the other hand, what's done - it's done. And I only wish the best with your purchase. Ride safe man!

I thonk that is a pretty sweet build. XT is a favorite of mine. But $350 would be the highest I would go-IF I were into skinny tires I mean!

My own ongoing build is here: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...-The-Un-hybrid
and very much like that other bike, currently about the only thing that's stock is the frameset.
