Of all the bikes that I have built up for myself and others, this has by far been the most fun to build and to ride. The best part about this bike is the durability of it. The bike itself is a light weight Cross Country bike, however all of the components that have gone into building the bike are parts your are very likely to see on a downhill or freeride bike.
