This thread is hillarious. What about raceface and fsa for cranks. Shimano hubs are garbage, they are heavy and have low engagement points, they hold value simply because of how cheap they are. isis is bad, I am not touching that as thats just a foolish statement based on someone reading too much into marketting hype. Thomson seatpost make easton look like tinfoil...fsa headset?...

I will wait till the guy tells us how he plans to build the bike up before I start offering up parts to use. Thats what determines the parts. And who said this is a xc build. Its and asx people. Its a freaking freeride frame (a dead sexy one at that).
