Hi
This is my first entry in this forum, and I’m not very good in English grammar because I’m Latvian, so don’t start to correct my mistakes.
I will show you my bike history from the time I started to take part in competition.
My first competition bicycle was CANNONDALE M800 (beast of the east)
It had almost full XTR groupset except XT crankset which it switched to Race face dues xc. Bike was fitted with Mavic Crossride wheelset.
I sold it because I really want front suspension, but later I regret my decision.
My second bike was SUPEROR team SC (custom built)
It had full XT groupset, avid juicy 7 brakes, hope pro 2 custom wheels on mavic xm819 rims and fox terralogic fork.
I sold it because of hard cycling accident and I think I will never ride a bike.
In last winter I started to build new bike, because I getting heavier and I really want to lose some weight. I started with 5 years old SUPERIOR XP 930 frame and put used parts on it, because lack of money. I got good offers from friends and I crate this:
It had some kind of wheels. sram rear mech and shifters, avid jucy 7 brakes, aluminum rigid fork, bontrager stem, handlebar, seat post and seat.
Later I upgraded to new wheels fulcrum red metal 5
Then in a middle of summer my frame gets cracked and I was looking for new frame. As I knew SUPERIOR dealer, I got really nice SUPERIOR G7 frame. Because it has 30BB, I swapped my XT crankset to brand new FSA v-drive crankset. I also bought ROCK SHOX Reba SL fork
My last upgrade was FOX talas RLC 2008 fork.
In next year I like to upgrade my hardtail bicycle to full suspension. I’m thinking of SPECIALIZED stumpjumper fsr or giant trance x, or trek fuel ex with fully floater rear end.
I hope you all enjoyed my topic about few bikes in my life.
And one more time, sorry about my broken English.

Nice bikes emsens. I know you for some long time (because of living in Latvia) and know what you are doing with your bikes. Agree, that the first SUP bike is the best. marvelous. Superior is the most popuar MTB bike brand in Latvia, i guess. I have Superior bike too. My first road bike - Tommaso Aggraziato0

That first Cannondale has a crazy long headtube, but is a fantastic looking bike.
Agree with jay12 on the first Superior, it has some really nice details on it, and I've heard worse English here in England than yours' :roll:And now you know, and knowing is half the battle
