i wouldn't bother upgrading anything

if you HAVE to, the only thing i would do is the brakes. to avids or saints.

Your build seems pretty solid. If the wheels will be redone after the trip then maybe you should just buy the roco.

looking for classic NE singletrack
cheap hookers and good drugs. much better than the other way around. :D


(honestly, biggest upgrade would be your rear shock, possibly followed by lighter wheels. but I'd see if you can swing the RC, or maybe even an '06 RC. it feels like butter...)

Ti spring would be a horrible investment. Honestly, one thing won't change your bike radically. Get it tuned up and ready to go and ride it. The Roco would be IMO the biggest improvement, but your fork will then be lacking in comparison. I say ride and save for a new bike once yours is clapped.

Does the RC/World Cup feel that much diffrent to the TST. Im doing more freeriding then downhill on this bike so i like the idea of TST.
