Rides pretty nice!!!
Looks good!

How do you like that Rock Shox fork? I've been thinking about trying one since it seems like the only decent 26" V-brake fork that can still be purchased new.

I think its better than the old Judy air fork that it came with, but I can't exactly say why (maybe stiffer???) It is heavier though. I got mine with a 10% coupon from Planet Cyclery. Yes I think it's the only decent V brake fork left so not a lot of choices

Awesome. In the end it's about riding. That drivetrain looks like it wants to climb!

That looks really good!

That fork is abso-freaking-lutely better than the Judy that came on that bike.

Now, get a dropper.
