Nice bike, are you pleased with the upgrades? Had my X3 a couple of months now and loving it, probably wait til bits wear out before doing any upgrades. Whats your fave upgrade?

The brakes are probably my favourite upgrade - a big improvement from the original Hayes Strokers. And the XT crankset is a really nice bit of kit too.

Absolutely love the bike though, it never stops putting a grin on my face

Awesome looking bike mate, loving the XT upgrades you've got on there

Why didn't you go for the Hope's in the end? I thought you were sold on them...

Looks good still

I was pretty much but I bought the wheels off a mate in the end, so they're not really new - they came off his X1, absolutely mint and freshly serviced with new bearings. Not quite as light as the Hopes, but much, much cheaper
