After The Ride / Build direction unknown....
« on: October 11, 2015, 05:29:07 PM »
So I figured I could use a place to brainstorm and get feed back about my unknown build direction.
For starters I'm 5'6" 190lbs(and losing). Figure any time you ask about what to build weight and height seem to come up. Planned budget as of right now is $1000(us dollars). So my current bike will donate it's life to go to the replacement.
My current bike is a big box store bought Mongoose Impasse HD 29er. But there is very few "stock" parts left.
Frame Mongoose 29er Impasse HD
BB stock
Wheels Stock
Stem stock 100mm
Forks Rockshox XC28 Magtk Coil 100 straight stem
Crank Shimano Altus 7/8SPD Square Crankset Black, 175mm, 22X32X42T
Pedals stock
Tires Forte Pisgah 29x2.2
Seat post Giant alloy
Saddle YF Sport
Bars Origin 8 Alloy 680mm wide Pro pulsion pro sweep
Brakes Shimano M396 Disc Brake Black front and rear
Grips ODI Lock On
Front derailleur Shimano Acera M390
Rear derailleur Shimano Acera
Shifters Shimano M310 Shift Lever Black
I think that about covers it. BB bears shot and frame bent in about 3 places. Still not sure if I'm going 27.5 or 29er. But I do know do to limited funds it will be a HT.
See wife and both kids are do for bikes in the spring as well. Wife and daughter will get 27.5s and son might get a 29er.
