I bought some upgrades for my bike and wanted some opinions...heres my bike from before:
19'' Custom Leader 516h
My new setup will include all of the following
2007 Motobecane Fantom Elite DS Frame (with Rockshox Ario 2.R Rear Shock) - 18 inch
2007 XT RD-M761 Rear Derailleur
2007 XT FD-M761 Front Derailleur
2007 XT M760 Crankset /w Integrated BB
2007 Avid BB5 Front and Rear /w 160mm rotors
Cane Creek S-3 Headset
Shimano PD-505 SPD pedals /w platforms on one side
Shimano EF-ST29 Shifter/Brake Lever
Bontrager Select Crowbar handlebar
Bontrager Select Grips
Bontrager Sport Stem @ 110mm 10 degree rise
Rockshox Dart 2 fork with 80mm of travel
Alexrims Racer's Edge Wheel
WTB Velociraptor Tires Front and Back
Leader Seatpost
In about a month I'll have the money to get a new front shock which im planning on getting the Rockshox Recon 351 U-Turn (spring, not air). My old set up was just way to XC for me, after riding for a little while I have discovered that I am very much an AM rider at heart. I want the sick jumps and drops, something that can tear up a downhill trail, yet still climb well and hold its own on the XC trail.
What do you guys think?
