So these build threads were absolutely huge when it came to me figuring out where to go with my bike. I figure if this thread helps even one person make a decision or get past a tricky spot, it'll be worth the effort. I'm sure once the ball gets rolling I will have some questions myself..
Heres my build sheet so far. Let me know what you think!! Its hot in AZ so may as well build a bike
Frame: IP/CS 057
Fork: Manitou Marvel Expert, 100mm
Headset: Nico (or maybe Cane Creek)
Handlebar: 720mm Bontrager Racelite (had it laying around)
Stem: 65mm Raceface
Brakes: Shimano SLX. 160 front 180 rear
Derailleur: SRAM GX 1x11
Seatpost: Bontrager racelite (had it laying around)
Seat: Bontrager Evoke (laying around)
Bottom Bracket: SRAM GXP?? Not sure about this one
Crank: SRAM X1 11 speed
Cassette: SRAM XO1 loaner off of other bike
Pedals: Shimano XT
Wheels: Bontrager Rhythm Elite borrowed off of Trek Fuel
Tires:
We'll see how the mood strikes..
Chain: SRAM 11 speed
Chainring: Wolftooth 30T
Rear axle: Chiner brand, will order with bike
So thats what I have so far. My plan is, for now, to swap the Bontrager Rhythm elites back and forth between my Fuel and the Chiner until I can muster up enough cash for a set of carbon wheels. Plus, doing this will save the the cost of buying another 11 speed cassette, and rotors. Let me know what you guy thinks or if I am missing anything!! Looking forward to this build
