Cadex ALM-1
I have nickel and dimed the updates to component's over the last decade. The last big updates were done in 98. I really want to do a new fork and headset, but I have yet to find the right price with moderate travel. The old Manitou still functions pretty well. I may also experiment with a rigid fork I have in my parts bin.

Giant MCMU carbon composite HT
Just thought I'd add some pics to this thread. (hopefully they are attached)
I bought this bike in Feb this year, I wanted a xtc c3 but it was too expensive for me at the time. The bloke in the shop had this for nearly half price.
I ride it to work every day (about 3 miles) and I'm still looking for some good trails to ride it on. It's still got the kit that was on it when I bought it but I'm looking to upgrade soon.
I'm thinking of swapping the Rockshox Judys for some Rockshox Reba Race but i don't know if they can mount v-brakes (any advice would be nice).
Spec:
21.5 inch Giant mcmu frame
Shimano deore lx v-brakes and gear set.
Crane creak headset
Shimano Deore (HB M570 VIAM) wheels
FSA Alpha drive crank
Although I've been riding bike since i was 5 this is my first serious bike, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to mountain biking but I'm learning fast.
I will eventually be getting a FS bike (probably a Reign or Trance) as they are dirt cheap over here.
Any advice about upgrades for this bike (my HT), links to a proper spec sheet (can't find one on the net, or any advice about mountain biking in Taiwan would also be appreciated. :thumbsup:
Cheers

Okay, here are my terrible twins. I usually have a smile on my face with either of these between my legs.
Both bikes have gone through a number of builds. I have had the XTC for many years, and is mainly used for general trail riding / endurance racing. I've just finished a fresh component build, but there are still a few bits and pieces I need to finish her off. She still needs Fork / Seatpost / Pedals and that will probably be the last time I build this frame up I think. It's been a great bike. :thumbsup:
The STP was purchased to learn to dirt jump and ride trials on, but it spent over a year setup with clipless pedals and a 32 by 16 gear ratio to be used as a general trail bike. Its way too small, but as a result it's incredibly easy to throw around and is an absolute hoot to ride. I've done everything from urban drops and street riding to long trail rides, 12 hour endurance races and long road miles on this bike.

Giant Talon 2007
Fresh from the box - stock at the moment. Any suggestions for component/parts upgrades would be fantastic.

Danm, already built up. I wish someone could give us a weight on the Talon/Alias framemarcusthecarcus said:
My first upgrade on the Talon was to Avid Juicy 7 brakes; I also have an XTR/Mavic XC717 wheelset for racing, using Larsens/Crossmarks. The next upgrades are Easton EC70 Seatposts and EC70 Monkeylite handlebars - should be here by the end of the week, early next week at the latest. After that I'll be putting a Manitou R7 on it.
Current weight with the XTR wheelset is I think about 11.8. The R7 should bring it to just over 11. The Tora is a 2.4kg fork - heavy. And the Rhyno Lites... not so light.

Talon Upgrades
Thanks for the recommendations. Yes - the weight of the Talo/Alias frame would be great?
I'll check out these listed parts online - quite expensive in NZ I'm guessing.

1998 ATX 890 Tomac frame
This is mine, 1998 ATX 890 John Tomac frame. Oldie, but a goodie! Pic sucks, taken with my cell phone.
XT Crank, FD and cassette, SRAM X9 RD and XO Grippers, Crossmax ST's with Michelin UST tires, Single Digit 9's.
Also have a 2006 XTC C2 composite frame I was going to build, but I think I'm going to sell it. Too small for me.
Brg,
Jeff
