My Can Diggle frame should arrive in the next 2 weeks, time to put together a parts list.
This is the first complete build of a new bike and probably my last bike purchase so i want to make it a good one. Usually i buy complete bikes from a shop and leave it stock (until something breaks) but want a bit more with this bike.
I was originally after an AM bike (Ibis Mojo, The One, etc) but the Diggle will suit so much better, It will be used for FR/ Med DH and i want the bike and parts to last. Extreme weight saving is not to much of an issue as i am pretty light. Weight 145 pounds, 158 with hydration give or take. Height 5'7".
Through some experience and a lot of research this is what i have come up with so far:
Forks – Rockshox Totem 2 step air 1.5” steerer
Shock - Fox 5 DHX
Headset – Chris King 1.5 no thread set
Stem - Race Face Diablous
Bars – Easton Monkey-lite DH
Brakes – Code – Rotors 203front/185rear
Cranks – Profile racing 3 piece or Middleburn R7 – Both 175 mm with 22t/32t/Bash
BB – Hope Titanium if Middleburn Crank 73mm BB
Chainguide – E thirteen DRS
Fr & Rear derailleurs – XT (shadow rear)
Shifters – XTR
Chain – XTR
Cassette – XTR M970
Wheelset – Industry Nine Enduro - Black Rims and Hub – Red spokes – 20mm axle front/ 135x12mm axle rear
Seat Post – Easton Havoc
Saddle – Selle Italia Max Flite
Pedals – Specialized Lo Pro Mag 2
Grips – Odi Rouge Lock on
Feedback and recommendations would be great, it will ensure i build a bike that will last quite some time and be awesome to ride (may even turn some heads).
