XT Shadow+
I used the deraileur off the bike I took to China with me, and it's one of the older clutch XT models. I left for China near the end of 2006, so maybe it was 2006, can't recall.

Haaa!
I think my riding abilities peaked with the Stinky and it's all just compensation with boutique brands from here on in!

Fucking boss. Devil horns and a dagger between the teeth would tip it over into perfection.
Would complement your neck tattoo very nicely
If you had $700-800 to spend on this build, what would you upgrade?

Initially, I'd like to get a Cane Creek Double Barrel Kitsuma Air rear shock. But they've gone up to over $1k in some places - lucky to find them under $900.
I'd consider upgrading the drive train, but I've just purchased a new 10spd Saint shifter and I'm not sure that upgrading the XT cranks (which are 8 years old) would yield much real value.
I'm not sure where else I'd spend the money. What would you upgrade?

Looks OK to me, if you absolutely wanted to spend some $ then a DVO topaz squishy thing.

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
NS Dynamics have some good deals on DVO Jade/X coils at the moment. The Jade in particular is a nice shock that you can easily tweak the shim stack if you are so inclined. The Jade X loses some of that adjustability in favour of a climb switch.

I knew the bars would be a popular choice. But I actually have no probs with these. My arms are fine with the stiffness, and once I stop with the I'm-shitting-myself-death-grip when I'm heading downwards, I can't see my hands having an issue with them either.

his flabber is totally gastered
Brave concept. I don't think it would gain much traction around here though.

@johnny ur bike looks pretty mint. There’s not much left to upgrade, I’d look to spend the money on either getting the suspension dialled or revalved if required or a couple of coaching lessons.
But if you absolutely have to spend the money before u put it on a 3 bet multi I’d go for a wider range drivetrain.
