Frame construction, most third-party components

SRAM transmission, Judy CC suspension

Decathlon crappy MTB
Bike Setup:
Shimano XT full transmission; Marzocchi Bomber Comp Air, clipless pedals, Cane Creek Thudbuster
Bottom Line:
I had to change the orginal suspension and transmission upfront. However, I got a great return value from the shop. The frame of the bike is of excelent construction and the third party components are very good (Truavid, Ritchey, WTB tires). I'm going on almost 1.000 km with it and it still feels brand new. Excelent value for money.
