That bike is beautiful!

I love that color and the overall look of utility on that. It looks like the rear end is long, but not too long and the clearance on the fork looks fantastic- even with those 33s on it. Heck, you'd be able to fit 35s and fenders on there. You've done a beautiful job with it, all the way to the Teflon coated shift cables!

Are you looking to make changes to it?

I've gone full-on dork with my Trek 720. That bike gets anything that I decide is "top of the line." The key phrase is "I decide." Suntour XC, XC Pro, Deore XT, 600, Phil Wood, Super Champion... Probably going to be going Tubus for the rear rack and Nitto on the front. Considering changing the brakes to Gran Compe and XC Pro...

If'n it were me... I'd do the criss-cross cable thing in the front (the left shift cable goes to the right DT mount, right shift cable to the left- and then cross the cables under the downtube) It's a more gentle bend and it's much easier to look more symmetrical. Then I'd spend more money than you can shake a stick at- and upgrade EVERYTHING to XT (or maybe M900 XTR... hmmm...)

Full. On. Dork.
