If you love it, what doesn't it do that you want it to do, and how much do you want to blow?

I would like to upgrade the brakes so open to ideas and anything else that you think is worth changing.

cheers guys, anything else

Looks like a nice balanced bike with decent stuff overall. Not much worth changing without spending loads of unecessary dosh unless something is failing you.
Pretty similar to my bike - I've changed bits but only when things break, except I like my Charge Spoons, Wellgo MG1's and lock on grips so they've changed.

I'd recommend the new SLX brakes just upgraded from my 6yr old Deore M525's. Very impressed so far. £110 delivered, from Rose. Then again there wasn't anything wrong with the Deore's but needed to free them up for another bike
