Current spec. Some changes and additions to come.

)

Shock: Fox DHX2. Will swap out an test Ohlins air shock.

Fork: Pike Ultimate 160mm

This is probably your one chance to treat yourself.
Why not look at up speccing above your normal builds, noting how long you hold bikes for?
Money all spent. Very happy with my parts choice. They’ll perform faultlessly and do everything they should say after day. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, I say.
It’s being built to ride, not win VitalMTB bike of the day.

It's Not Easy Being Green
Better not have red forks! :p

Nice start though, looking forward to seeing the final build.

Your choices are locked in then. If anyone is going to find if it doesn't work it will be you given your amount of riding
