Very nice spec with the full shimano components. 30 speed? You'll deffo have those extra gears for climbs and stuff compared to the likes of a 24 or 27 speed bike.
Thanks yeah its one of my custom builds with hope brakes, lx and xt parts, 140mm rock shox.. my next upgrades is pro2 hubs. Its my new xc bike rides so nice and the longer stem made a difference and feels easier for riding up hills.
The welcome ornament is actually a gargoyle .. My mum seems to have them allover our garden etc lol
Let us know how you get on with it when you receive it and maybe get some pics or videos
