This is currently on my other rigid bike and is perfect for up, down and the flats. Original plan was XTR.ĭrivetrain will be the XTR M980 with 44/28 and 11/36. The MT7's rated so very well that I wanted them, but then found the Trail SL's.

What I really want is a 27.5 CroMo fork for 100x15 but that just aint working out! I will deal with this Aliexpress carbon fork for the time being (Ritchey only offers a rigid 27.5 fork for QR :skep.
It will then be promptly polished and chromed. The frame is going to the shop tomorrow for sand-blasting. So I got this far with the build before deciding to change things up a bit more dramatically:
