My bike is still a working progress, she spent a few years on the hook because I let work get in the way. But now I am proud to say that she is now back in full active duty. Anyway upgrades are 2004 manitou minute one shock, sunrims rino lites, hayes dics brakes/ upgraded all cables to mcguire and aztec, new stem and headset various others. I am now in the process of making her an 8 speed. Also if any one out there has a n xtr rear cantilever brake I am in need wlawson25@yahoo.ca.
