Thought I'd do a quick PYR on my highball as I've had time to complete another rebuild. I bought this bike second hand a few years ago. Was built originally with shimano 2x10 xtr group set, fox factory 100mm 32's, mavic slr wheelset. This very quickly became my favorite bike. I,m one of the few that feel more at home on a hardtail. My mates don't get it but I love them. Was quickly surprised by how well this will ride when you point it down hill.
As with all bikes I soon began to mod away. First went to 1x10 or threw a 34 on the front and removed the deralieur. Won't bore everyone with the ongoing changes. This is how bike sits now and happy for a while.
