Likes Bikes and Dirt
Frustrated with a recent flock of bikes, to many knobs and techy buts. I wanted a bike I could just get on and ride everywhere. was tempted to get a STP or something then decided I would stick to my existing "champagne" style bike but do it simply.
When the frame became mine I put it in the stand and I spent an evening drinking beer looking at it plotting its build.
So far I have planned a few bits, all parts I like. things I want to run. I dont care to much for trends or popular parts, just going to run what I want.
Also need to thank Alan at Pushie Industries for the Loaded gear, I seriously love this stuff.
Frame - Production Privee Shan
Front shock/fork - Fox Float 32 CTD with Trail adjust - Spare 150mm FIT RLCs are one while I wait for custom fork decals
Handlebars - LoadedUSA AmXc
Stem - LoadedUSA Amx
Headset - FSA
Grips - ESI Super Chunkys
Saddle - undecided.. what ever feels nice, probably a Spec, Phenom
Seatpost - Loaded USA AmXc, May try a KS dropper or DOSS but not initially.
Front brake - Hope Race X2 180mm
Rear brake - Hope Race X2 160mm
Cranks - Truvativ AKA
Chainring - MRP Bling ring 34T (coming)

Chain - 10Sp XT
Pedals - Chunkeds
Rear derailleur - Zee Shadow+
Rear shifter - XT
Cassette - 11-36 XTR
Hubs - Chris King ISO
Rims - Flow EX
Total weight - Who cares
