2. a HAAAAARRD time not speeding up the process!
My first FS bike so I will take your word that that is very very good! Yes, I love wrenching and even though I have built up plenty of roadies......this is my first mtb build! I will seriously take your parts recommendations under advisement. That is why I asked the fine folks here for help.
Will post pics. as progress goes. And your right...............I am itching already to buy buy buy!
