shifters and rear mech

I think you'll be fine with which ever one you choose. But make sure you understand something up front. SRAM rear ders will NOT work with Shimano shifters. Go either all SRAM or all Shimano (sorry...

Depends on the water temp whether or not a wetsuit is used. If the water temp is below 72 it's a safe bet that people will be in wetsuits.

Xterra

Well, as you can tell from my username I do XTERRA triathlons, so I swim, bike and run every week. The only real difference is in the winter I add in some weight room time, and decrease the...

Nashbar 853

I have this frame. I bought it in October and have ridden it extensively since then, including last Saturday on snow covered singletrack. It is really sweet. Stiff, yet compliant. I was on an Alu...

I can say from experience that the Nashbar 853 is really nice. I put one together in October and have been riding ever since. I don't know anything about the Rocky Mountain bikes, but they have a...

Reynolds 853 is one of the better steels used to make frames. I ride an 853 steel hardtail, and for me it was an "upgrade" from an aluminium hardtail. The ride is really sweet. Smooth, and...

Aerobars

The Ascent bars on the Nashbar page ($39) are really similar (and probably the same as) to the Performance T-1 bars. I've used the performance bars and they are really well made. If you really...

I currently have the Mavic Crossrides, and they are great. Huge difference between these and the OEM wheels I had (WTB Speedisc). Lighter, fantastic hubs, pretty much bomb proof. Got them for $200...
