So I strolled on into work today(@ Cycles De Oro, Greensboro, NC), and my bossman tells me that I need to decide on what parts I want to build up on the Intense 5.5 we just got in. Suuweeeet! So, I spent a solid four hours flippin' through QBP, BTI, and Hawleys today. It's not gonna have a single trace of Sh*tmano on it and will be soooo bitchin! I don't know 'bout you, but I had a hell-ofa-day today!

Wow... a day like that could almost bring someone out of a persistant vegetative state. ALMOST...

Wow, sounds cool. What could be better than to spec a bike you're going to rid...er, nevermind :devil:

Not possible. You'll have to run a Shimano front derailleur on it. SRAM X-Gen won't work

I ordered an M3 on Wednesday! Now I have to figure how I want to build that one up. But this time its mine!

Why not? It is 34.9 and can run top or bottom pull. Does it hit the rear triangle? I know my 2004 XTR did on my spider.

The X-Gen is a bottom swing derailleur and all the VPP bikes use a top-swing.
Congrats on the M3! That frame is soooo sweet. You'll have to let me check it out when you get it and compare it to my V10. What fork are you going to run?
