Okay, it isn't a "Team" build kit because I just bought the frame. Here goes: Z-2 X-Fly King/Valiant/DT custom wheels 99' SRAM 9.0 SL CODA Tarantula crank and XTR bb Titec Big Al stem and C-191 seatpost Flite saddle Easton CT2 bar SRAM 9.0 levers and Avid SD-1 brakes w/ Ionic Major Stiffy
Bottom Line:
This bike is great. I have been on one and only one ride this year (3 hours long on Antelope Island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake) but it has already proven its worth. As mentioned, it climbs like a mad goat and picks its way up technical climbs with aplomb. Very stable at speed due to longer top tube and shorter stem. On technical descents, just point and shoot. Oh, its Reynolds steel, not much else to say about that. It is a little soft when the going gets rough and really helps the back on long rides. Mine built up to 23 lbs. Not super light, but definately raceable and reliable. It does make me miss the sub 22 pound Litespeed a little. Alas...
