I am new to this site and new to the art of building and could use any experience and opinion that you wish to offer.
This years distraction from drinking and smoking is a shed built, light weight hard tail, for trail, marathon and local hooning in the surrounding bad lands.
I have taken the plunge and ordered an On One 456 carbon frame, and, on the good advice of Cubist bagged a bargain Fox float 32 RL fork. At the price quoted from chain reaction I can change the fork if it is not upto the task and sell for a small loss.
My intention is to flood the bike with wonderful hope components and make up the difference with XT bits.
This less than scientific approach to design and build is based purely on my limited knowledge and attraction to shiney metal. There is obvious scope for major blunder and if you feel that you can offer more sound advice then please, fill your boots....
Advice welcome on drive train, wheels and brakes.
Thank you in advance.. Silver.....
