back for my 4th (or is it 5th) 2day. Cant beat that event - its not a race just a cruize with great mates, great beer, and epic singletrack. Looking forward to chasing the Film Crew chopper off Spionkop again!

Prototype Polygon trail bike

well i will need to get rid of these saints first - any ideas on what i could get for them?

so then to upgrade to New Saint brakes - I wonder how much i would get for these saints that i have? Checked on Wiggle and they are R4300 bucks on Wiggle incl Vat but excl import duties. R3500?? for the set with a spare lever???

well im glad this thread stayed on topic for all of 5 posts!

Lucky im not from PMB then! hahahaha

Right so the frame confusion has been resolved and i know what im getting finally so will be paying for it shortly and it will arrive sparkly and clean as my Xmas present to myself. BUT now the issue is PARTS! What to use. I have the following parts available: Brand new 2012 Shimano Saint 9spd cranks (with no ring so can easily make them 10spd) Brand new 2012 Shimano Saint 9spd shifter and derailleur (not the clutch one) Brand new 2012 Shimano Saint Brakes (the older shape not the new short lever) http://www.sicklines.com/news-images/shimano_saint_m810_grouppo.jpg Brand new 2014 SRAM X0 DH specific clutch derailleur, shifter, chain and cassette http://www.tbsbikeparts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/sram-xo-group-set.jpg Then Used 2011 Truvativ Descendant GXP cranks Used 2013 Shimano XT brakes (the new shape ones) http://www.ridemorebikes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/truvativ-descendant-cranks-clear-taped-skin.jpg http://www.wigglestatic.com/images/shimano-m785-disc-brakes-zoom.jpg So i am now wondering what to put on the new bike Although the Saints are old I like the cranks - but i need to weigh them compared to the Descendants. But the Descendants have done 3 years of work, so maybe the saints are better even though they are old?? Then the 9spd vs 10spd issue - i would like the clutch and the X0 groupset, but the saint feel amazing even though its not a clutch rear mech. Then the brakes? I could just use the Saints even though they are the old shape as i know they work really well, But i currently use the new shape XTs and they are awesome. So either - just use the old shape saints OR Sell the saints (already have an interested party) then buy new saints and transfer the XTs onto my Trail bike??? Hmmmmmm Your guys thoughts??? I am leaning towards X0 Groupset with Saint Cranks and 10spd ring, with new Saint Brakes (if i can get them without having to put in any extra cash)

still a hot bike! http://p.vitalmtb.com/photos/users/2/photos/61337/s780_SS_n3x1172.jpg?1376270683
