Nothing fancy. I'd like to have a full Shimano transmission, but XO will have to do since my funds are allocated to other stuff

Always loved the F.R.O. I'd love to get one of the old steel ones from the 90s.

She is getting a little older but still a great ride!

built:
things that will be changed soon:
-seat post. need one that's longer/lighter. used an old bmx post I had sitting around (that was all that fit, and why my saddle nose isn't kicked down more)
-stem. too long. currently 90mm, want to try a 70mm
-chainguide. currently lg-1. would like another lg-1; problem is frame and backplate did not have same ISCG mounts so I was stuck using an adapter (and have a pretty crappy chainline right now)
things that will be changed eventually (probably over winter):
-new wheels. have a set of hadleys and mavic dee track rims that need to get laced to one another
-new fork lowers. fork is a revelation dual air. currently QR. will switch over to 20ml to run the wheels described above

Jon,
Good to see it built up again! Have you had any good rides on it yet? That frame was awesome.. Ill miss it. enjoy!
hey Erik, yea got a good ride at 6MR on Saturday. What length stem were you running on it?
ok word. i've got a 90 now and i feel its too long. Was planning on trying a 70 so good to know that it would be a good match for the bike
Heavy XC.
OMG hot! is that custom paint job of your own, or anniversary edition?
Anniversary model, waiting on my XTR parts to show up.
It's got the Monkey favorite 12x142 rear and 15mm front.
You should be.
What brakes are those?

Yes they are Formula R1 brakes, I am going to use them on the bike laying on the floor behind the 575 as soon as I get the fork for it.
