Thanks !
Allthough a friend of mine who helped me build it kept telling me I should have bought a full sus but as I do as much on road as off Im very pleased with it, Im still getting my fitness back after being off it for 5 months but I try to do an hour or two on it everyday & am looking forward to doing a proper allday ride soon.
If you can get some of those Fox forks I'd recommend doing so as there so much better than the Rockshox I used to have, that Salsa frame is great as well (made of Scandium) it seems to have the stiffness of aluminium but without the harshness allthough the carbon bars/seatpost probably helps as well, as for the disks I love them its great going flat out at a junction & braking a few feet away from it then gliding to a stop on the front wheel
allthough it freaks people out when they think your not going to stop, anyway it was a lot of money but the insurance from my old one payed for 3/4 of it so the rest was money well spent.
