i second this...brand new x1 for R20k...awesome bike. First upgrade: lighter wheels (R5000) gives you a race-ready bike. And pretty light too.

Keep an eye on the pivot bearings, specifically the one near the BB. Some people have had issues with that one (water coming in, lack of maintenance?) and then can cause the chain stay to crack.
