i just bought a used 2002 xce frame, which i just built up from my parts off my old marin rock springs. well, not fully built up because i just realized i don't have the right size bb. so i might slurge on some new isis cranks/bb, since the ones placed on the bike for the pic are very old race face square tapers. i can't wait to have this thing fully built up - for me, this should be the perfect bike for kananaskis country near calgary

details:
2002 19.5" xce w/romic shock
magura ronin 110 fork
avid mechanicals
race face and deore xt/lx components
front mavic xt/f519, rear deore/f219 wheels
since i decided to buy the frame, i've been lurking on this forum and have found lots of great info on these bikes. i had never thought about buying a high-end frame like this before, but when it came up in the sale ads i did my research, and am confident i have made the right choice. these are really great looking bikes, and i know i'll have a great time with it on the trails.
cheers!
