I'd like to build a jack-of-all-trades MTB. I'd like to use it as commuter, tourer, and training bike. I've another bike for racing and a roadie, too. But need sg. I could use to train on the trail, go to the shop, etc... and have too many bikes in my flat.
I'd like 3x7/8 drivetrain, because low-maintance is important.
I have this [url= https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/101548000249852054009/albums/5516676124155930129/5528610309748217554?hl=hu ]Marin Team Issue[/url], with the red Cannondale forks.
I think I should change the alu forks to steel. (I've discussed about it in another thread.)
Want to upgrade to V-brakes and levers, too. (Avid Single Digit, Arvh Rival, XTR, or XT) And maybe a pair of XT or Sram Attack shifter...
What do You think? What should I pay attention? What are Your suggestions?
Many thanks!
My now commuter is my old mountain bike which was pretty much everything off a marin team issue, (the shop split a team issue as one guy wanted the frame and I got a bike made up of the rest) My own bike was the first I had seen with XTR.
Any suggestion, idea?
