Last month I got a great deal on a full carbon MTB hard tail frame. So after a few days of deciding what I wanted to do with it I came up with the following build list.
- Pedal Force MTB frame
- Fox F32 100mm RLC fork
- SRAM x.9 rear derailleur
- SRAM x.Gen front derailleur
- SRAM x.0 Grip shifters
- Easton EC-90 carbon flat bar
- Avid BB-7 disc brakes
- Alligator 160mm rotors
- Alligator iLink cables
- Vuelta Team SL wheel set
- Thomson Elite seat post
- Race Face Deus Ex crank set
- Crank Brothers Eggbeater pedals
- Other miscellaneous parts
What I ended up with was a 21.4 pound fairly comfortable MTB that I will use on occasion to tool around some trails when I want to take a break from riding on the road. I have been out on the trail with it already. I found out that I have a lot to learn about MTB riding

Hi,
Bike looks great and it makes me want one!
Since you’ve probably had time to ride it a fair amount by now if you could let me know what your final thoughts are on the frame? Does it handle the way you’d like it to? How does it handle technical descents?
Thanks
-John
