Thanks Free Pizza I built it late into the season, so I have only taken it on 2 rides. One was a 100 KM Club ride, It was great! Here is my Ride Report (post #580)


Are you in Saskatoon?

I've got some new parts for it on the way! I'm ditching the LX HTII crankset as I've never cared for the looks of it, it's going on wifeys bike as her bb and middle ring are done. On the way is an all black Middleburn DUO two ring crank. Also I needed a new rear mech as my XT had developed a lot of slop, XTR 952 short cage on the way. With these two additions the bike will be all stealth black. I'll post it up again when I get the parts.
