After riding my AS-X for a bit, I sold it to my friend so I could get a SC Nomad. I ordered the frame via speedgoat and got a Medium Black Powdercoat with a 5th Element Gravity. I have been slowly been piecing together my build kit to put on the bike.
Having never used SRAM, I thought why not try it out. So below is a partial list of components I have for my build. I am missing some parts, designated by ? and would like anyones input as this is new to me, as will be building a bike from the ground up!
Most importantly I need advice on what kind of fork to throw on, I was thinking either the Talas or Van 36. Leaning towards the Van 36 because it is a bit cheaper, but dont know why else. My style of riding is agressive XC, so I plain to use this bike and make it light. Never really do drops...
