What would you buy?

Ok guys, I have a Merida Matts-TFS 100. So I decided to build it up part by part and then later get a better frame. So far Ive done:

* Shimano XT wheels with Conti tyres

* Fizik Gobi

 

So what would you recommend next? I dont want to spend more than about R3000 at this moment. I think I'll wait with a fork for now (till I have more funds), so I thought XT pedals with maybe XTR or Avid Elixir brakes. The other option is I can start buying the parts to replace my current groupset (but I cant put the pieces up as I have a 8 spd and the new ones will be 10 speed.

 

I was also looking at a Garmin Gps just for fun?

Formula RX brakes http://www.rushsports.co.za/Buy/Formula/2010-Formula-RX-Brake-%5bPAIR%5d.aspx

Or save a bit and get the Reba http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/rock-shox-reba-rlt-dual-air-2011

Id get a set of XT or XTR brakes, but I agree with Mampara, rather save up a lil bit more so you can get a decent fork, then the brakes. Oh,and Tubeless if you havent already converted.

Thx guys. Ive gone tubeless - so I think Ill wait and save - was thinking a SID?

The SID is an awesome fork,

but if you look at Kiwi's site you can get a first 1 platinum for under R3k.

It is very light and smooth.

Think his site is planet x bikes.co.za

Rock Shox Recon. Its R3400. Rather save for that. Budget to a shop to install it too.
