Breaks : Avid Elixir R 2011
Seat-post : Thompson lay back
Stem : Truvativ AKA 60mm ??
The Tyres have been swapped many times, Iv tried a-few different types but have gone back to nobby nics as they seem to grip the best and last long enough !, As for break pads , I have gone trough countless pairs. Iv only had to change to gear cables once
Since built in 2010 its done almost 60miles a week , every week and I still love it ! Me and my riding buddys head off to Wales whenever we can, As there is hardly anything locally so we just make a weekend of it ! I have also built up an old (maybe 2001?) Trek fuel 90 for a good friend of mine as his old specialized fall apart in Andorra ....
