Hi all....my SC SL and I have been together to 10 years and I've been deliberating whether to replace or refresh.... Frankly, since it fits/rides so well I'm going to spruce her up... Just a question of where to invest....
Current spec:
2002 (bought late 2001) Santa Cruz Superlight - Large in anodised orange.
Manitou Black Elite (80/100)
CrossMax (non-disc)
Brakes F&R - Avid SD Ti
Levers - Paul Love Levers
Front mech - XT
Rear mech - XTR
Crank - Race Face forged
HS - Chris King no thread set (Orange)
Stem - Thompson
Bar - Easton MonkeyLite Riser
Post - USE Alien
Saddle - Terry Fly Ti
Cables - Gore throughout
chain - KMC SL9 Silver
cassette - XT 11-32
The fork needs to go... And a decent fork will probably be disc only, so new wheels ad brakes are probably in order too.
I want to keep the weight down so I was thinking SIDs, a some CrossMax Discs and Hope mini's.... But I'm open to inspiration...soooo what would you do?
Budget mainly limited by my powers of spousal persuasion ;-)
Will add pics shortly.
Cheers
Gary
