Hi,

I have a frame from a Dawes XC2.2 which is in ammaculate condition, with Rock Shox Dart 2 Front forks. Firstly is this a good frame? Secondly I would like to get it up and running. I am a student so not got much cash but want some good not to expensive brakes (preferably hydraulic and as I have Dart 2 I presume I need brakes that are I.S. disc compatible) and some pedals. I am embarking on an off road MTB trip to switzerland with a mate so want something that is good but will not break my bank balance. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Mat

    As you`re a student I suggest you learn the difference between brakes and breaks first! As one stops the other!

    do you wheels accept the disk?
    you dont have any pedals or do you just want something better?

    Pedals I would go for Wellgo MG1 they are bulletproof not too heavy and have a nice grippy feel.

    Brakes anything by Shimano the Deore M596 are perfect for anything other than weight weenie XC racing
