Updated the thread title to be more in line with other bike stable musings threads.
Bought a cheap carbon Scott xc bike for a few xc races middle of last year. Hasn’t changed a drastic amount aside from throwing a nicer set of tyres on it and a hope carbon seatpost. I did briefly have a dropper post fitted but the extra cable made the handlebars a right mess, so I ditched it for a carbon post. Must investigate building a bike around the dropper soon.
Short term plan is to get a set of hunt xc wheels, but I’d eventually like a nicer brake set and shimano groupset too. I’d also love a SID fork.
Might have been cheaper to buy a frame and build it up…
