Hey Rob,

I think I lean towards your thinking as well, higher priority on good components than on a nice frame. Everything is working fairly well. My braking is fine, unless the trails are wet/muddy, I think would like disc brakes. As for the shock its not a very nice one, occasionally it will bottom out and I can adjust the preload on it. Also, there are times that my chain will jump off the center sprocket on my crank to the smaller sprocket....which that might be fixed with some simple adjustment (which I intend on doing this week).

So, I think I just might upgrade the brakes and shocks.... I might be happy with my rig after that.
