andretraut Posted May 8, 2012 Share Keep it real - Your frame should come with a Brain fork and Brain rear shock, so no need to source your suspension. It should also come with a S-Works seatpost. Just add a groupset of your choice, either XTR or XX, a S-Works 680 mm handlebar, a S-Works stem, and a Specialized saddle of your choice, either Romin or Phenom. Now the wheels. Your frame can only accomodate a 142+ rear hub, which will also be included in your frameset, so just add a set of Roval Control SL carbon wheels, and you are ready to ride.

Surely it would have been cheaper to buy a complete bike than to go this route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
