    That is gorgeous Faze! Why the hydro rim brakes, if you don't mind me asking?

    In the Netherlands, where I live, this brakes provide me with enough braking power. The Magura Firmtech brakes are almost maintance free and are not affected by bad weather like disc brakes are. During the summer and when I ride abroad I will use my Scott Scale 35.

    It is really lovely - I think the lack of disc brakes make the whole thing look cleaner.

    My Kona Kula hardtail (or what is left of it after a custom rebuild!)

    And I wouldn't swap her for anything else!

    I especially love the plush new 2009 Revelation forks (140mm), and the brand new 2009 custom build Mavic/Hope wheelset. Lovely KMC GOLD chain, Raceface Evolve/XT transmission, full length Easton cockpit, Hayes 9 HFX brakes freshly serviced. The butter smooth Blue Hope hubs + skewers are a nice finishing touch.

    My little bit of fun.

    Pretty standard build, nothing too flashy, just a solid ride that gets me up and down and goes where I point it.

    I'd say it's a bit more than "standard", very nice! Good to see a bike with a bit of much on it too!
