Leaving the Specialized band wagon and my Epic Comp 29er in favor of a shiny new Jet 9 RDO. I saw one at the trailhead, tracked down a demo, and now I have a green frame on the way. First carbon frame. First new bike purchase ever. First Niner.
I'm pretty excited to set some personal bests on my local trails and ride some of my other favorites on a completely different trail machine. I am having my old LBS that isn't a Niner dealer build it for me since I trust the owner who is a personal friend. Can you guys who built them yourself offer any tips or tricks to pass along to assist them in their first Niner RDO build ( I think ).
Here is what I'm working with so far:
J9RDO Medium frameset
SID 120mm rct3 15mm
Arch EX ZTR 3.30 wheels
XX1 drivetrain
Chris King PF30 BB
Easton EC90 low rise bar
RDO stem 80mm
Kore carbon i-beam seatpost
SDG ifly saddle
Crank Bros Candy1 pedals
Nobby Nick EVO SS 29x2.35 F/29x2.25R
Considering updated brakes and swapping to a Crest/ztr 3.30 wheelset.
-Has anyone purchased and installed a kit from Frameskin.com?
I should have some shots in its native habitat by the end of next week if everything works out as planned.
