standard set-up, changing fork to Marzocchi XC 700 SL, also changed saddle and pedals to touring versions
Bottom Line:
i've really enjoyed this bike on a multiday trip along old timber roads of Sakhalin island in the Russian Far East, the fork was a bit weak for my weight, and felt pretty stiff running down rocky trails (my friend at 160 lbs doesn't have this problem).. most positive impression though was when I had to carry the bike 3000' up climbing to one of the ridges along our route, it FELT so light...
