first, thanks for viewing... haha.. to me, this bike LOOKS nice(esp when it was with the black tora).. but in terms of performance, i guess stil got quite a long way to go.. mmmm.. and mine might look like a jump bike cos of the very slanted top tube.. but it is only like this cos i took a 15.5inch frame.. im only 1.65m.. anyway, to the specs. =) FRAME Gold Series 6061 T6 internally and externally butted aluminum, Genesis Geometry i like the geometry.. feels good.. weight, some ppl say my frame is heavy but i think its ok.. given it's 2nd best alu from garyfisher.. haha.. should have some quality.. FORK 08 Fox F100RLCyay.. got a 2nd hand one.. haha traded in my Tora for 180(is it too little or too much? doesnt matter) anyway.. this is way more plush and responsive.. more impt.. i love it literally eating up small bumps.. the coil in tora wasnt able to that.. so i look forward to better riding with more performance from my bike. =D sadly tho.. a white fork looks a bit funny with my green frame.. =/CranksetDeore LXstiff i guess.. not really a lightweight but enough for me.. haha.. im only looking to build a mid class xc bike..  updates: ive decided to go all-mountain/light freeride. thrash this around a little longer and maybe changing to a tougher one. for now, just hope my skills will improve and be more ready than my bike.Wheelset Mavic Crossride Discnot light too.. but i think i can feel the quality of mavic thru this.. good enough for me too now.. updates: the back wheel is totally warped and gonna break sometime soon due to the way i ride. if you're not on a full sus and like to do silly and bigger stuff with your bike, its not okay to get this.. i regretted getting it. might change soon..TiresKenda Nevegal 2.35nice slightly cushioned and grippy feel.  only worry is that it might wear out fast as heard from other people.BrakesAvid Juicys Sevennicest upgrade so far..haha.. that's pretty much, i'll only update when i upgrade stuff.. =D
