Absolut Black CrMo, Kona Cranks, Truvativ DH BB, Grimeca System 12, XT Rim Rear, Krad Tires, Marz DJ3 Fork, Single Track front, Stock Wheel still on rear.
Bottom Line:
This bike has taken a beating and still going strong. It's been used for Street, Trail, Park and Commuting back and forth to work. Rides very solid. Have even done XC trails on it. Singlespeed takes away many headaches for a commuting bike.
Price was good. Never used the stock fork. Switched right away to a DJ3 so i could tune the suspension.
Overall i would Choose this over other bikes in the same price range (600 + fork = 800)
I would recommend it to other riders too.
