but I have swapped:
brakes are Avid Juicy 5s
Wheels are Mavic EN321 on Shimano XT hubs with Conti vertical tyres
rear cassette is a tiagra 9sp road 11-25 (I prefer the closer ratios)
Pedals are SPDs but will probably be swapped for DMR V8s
Forks are DMR trailblade rigids as I didn't get on with the Toras, I can fit some sus forks if desired, this will be reflected in the price.
I'm looking for about £450 with a new sus fork like the toras. with the current rigid fork and some 26" slicks it would make a bomb proof commuter for the larger gent!!
any interest?
