Snagged a used Litespeed Appalachian frame last weekend, built it up over the weekend to be an awesome hybrid! I'm a bigger rider, so I've got some 36 spoke wheels built with XT hubs and Sun Rhyno Lite rims...then decided on XT derailleurs and SLX cranks...the fork isn't disc ready, so I threw some v-brakes on the front and an Avid BB7 disc on the rear. Very satisfied with the ride!!
